  1. Apathy is the default...the rule. Most people are too dumb to stand for anything. There may be a little outrage until their favorite show comes on.

  2. A much slower internet experience.

    So it's a civil war when you have a significant ISIL presence in your country waging war against the government and the people at the same time?

    "she won the popular vote over Trump"

    Is this a warning about the dangers of the popular vote or just a redundant promulgation?

    In my brain, if I am looking for a giant bronze rooster I wont see a little one and I sure as hell will not notice a restaurant called the Bronze Rooster.

  7. They try to teach math the same way, assuming people will just figure out the context to solve problems. Newflash, it isnt working very well.

    Well you have reject nerds like Musk who can't think of anything but Space Trek as our ultimate evolution. It just hit me...these tech billionaires are going to kill us all. The road to hell is paved with great intentions. Dorks.

    No gravity, no space travel. It is not practical. The human body will self destruct when exposed to zero-gravity conditions for relatively short periods of time. Just not something the dreamers want to focus on--real buzz kill. If you can generate gravity it still has to be controlled in relation to a spacecraft and the people in it--or on it. Earth is a magnificent space craft. It travels with an independent power source and generates its own life support--gravity is included at no extra charge. Be happy with what you got.

  19. Human beings are incapable of building an operating system or any significant software without being full of swiss cheese escalation vulnerabilities and bugs.
