Right. Because of all his hard work out there roughnecking.
Or... the US isn't the USSR yet, and the government doesn't drive all aspects of life. Oil production is up because economics have created conditions where companies, landowners, and states have started exploiting more.
seing as a trigger is nothing but a lever in most cases, and a detent with a nice finger surface in really fancy cases, i'd say that declaring that someone who has made a trigger can easily fashion it into a firearm is something of an exageration.
the magazine on the otherhand... a box, a spring, and a plate... now THAT is truly terrifying!
So basically the COURTS sign the warrants because of LEGISLATION that allows them to have this authority, and you should take issue with the Legistatures and Judicial bodies who exercise authority to tell companies what to do.
It is all well and good that a company says they will do what they can, but all this authority comes from the laws and lawyers, not the server admins, not even the cops.
If by stable you mean the minority slaughtering the majority, whole towns being encircled in landmines to choke them off, and Uday and Qusay raping every girl they saw... sure.
The dollar wasn't the only currency. France and Russia were violating the UN embargo and Oil For Food programme for years trading weapons and money for oil with Iraq under the table.
So in the two times we invaded Iraq, how many of them resulted in us taking oil? How much money in natural resources has the US made in Afghanistan? What riches did we try for in Haiti or Somalia?
You really see no problem with making an entire population dependent on the government? What happens in Sudan when they government can't hand out free gasoline anymore?
Last time a democrat told people not to ask the government what it could do for you, he was killed. Weird, right?
Socialism, social welfare, handouts, dependent population turn a Constitutional Republic into a vote-buying frenzy where people are voting for a living rather than working for a living. Communism was tried several times in the US and in every case, the number of mouths to feed overcame the number of people motivated to work for nothing. The only time that kind of thing works out is when a Stalin or Mao can purge millions of people, steal the collective wealth of whomever they want, and force everyone else to work at gunpoint.
Capitalism, for all its faults, is the default economic system of free people. I am free to order my affairs and dispose of my property as I see fit within the laws of nature. Property includes my ability to work. Property includes my ability to pay for work to be done. EVERYTHING else, every silly socialist little scheme that has ever been tried is simply a regurgitation of all the monarchies in history: some special people telling you what you can get, what you can have, when you can have it, and what you can do with it. Che wasn't a revolutionary, The Man has been dolling out chicken feed to peasants since the dawn of man.
If a CEO gets the owner one million dollars per day, the owner can afford to pay that CEO $999,999 per day and still pocket $1 a day. It's not your business. The owner can decide if the CEO is worth it. The CEO can decide if the pay is worth it.
Employees are free to sell their labor elsewhere. They have the right to order their affairs and sell their time as they see fit, finding the most advantageous deal they can. The employer can decide if the labor provided is worth it. The employee can decide if the pay is worth it.
Uh oh. I see the problem. Where does the 3rd party fit in? Some other person, like a government bureaucrat, intellectual elitist who doesn't actually do work for money, or politician pandering for popular votes... where can that person inject their bullshit in this scenario. A problem indeed!
You can afford to pay $12 for a box of cereal. Be honest. You could do it.
Why don't you?
Labor is a market, just like any market. The work that unskilled people do in a non-skill-requiring job is worth a certain amount. That dollar amount is the intersection of [whatever a company is willing to pay] and [whatever those people are willing to work for].
You can start a company, pay people whatever you think is fair. That is your right.
If you don't pay the guards, they stop showing up. If you don't pay the cops you go to jail, have liens placed against your property, and have your wages garnished.
that isn't a grammatical error. we aren't talking about mis-conjugating a verb.
widespread misuse of words and phrases reduces the value of a language. if we allow "taco" to become "divine right of kings" or ignore things like "for all intensive purposes" we are basically saying that all words and phrases are allowed to equal all meanings and definitions. the result then is that no words or phrases carry any meaning. this is the complete destruction of the value of the language.
lazy capitalizations? poor spelling? grammatical errors? none of those actually attack the very basis for the purpose of language.
I 100% agree with you that corporations will line up for government teat just as fast as professional welfare mooches. And taking money from people to hand it to corporations is JUST as wrong as taking it from person A and handing it to person B.
Romney was right in this regard, corporations are just like people. They want free shit. They want others to pay for their shit. It should NOT be allowed. Nor should I have to divert the gain I get for the work I do to pay for someone elses life.
Economic Justice? What and absurd and completely made-up notion. In capitalism, man exploits man. In communism, it is the EXACT opposite. Some bureaucrat deciding that some percent of my day should be spent making money for a 3rd party? Redistribution of wealth is nothing but government sponsored theft and slavery. Leftism are ideas soooo gooood that they have to be mandatory and backed by threat of violence.
Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They always run out of other people's money. - Margaret Thatcher.
People always want free shit. People always want other people to pay for their shit. People always want to borrow money from China, leave the debt to their kids, and enjoy an inflated lifestyle.
Which is why the US is a Constitutional Republic, not a Democracy. The wolves outnumber the sheep now, so of course "the people" want want want. A spoonfull of socialism can corrupt a whole sea of democracy as soon as people figure out they can vote for a living instead of working for one... and politicians figure out they can bribe people with their own money.
One day, you'll run out of people willing put more in than they take out.
Listen to this guy talk about a "famously oppressive culture" like it's cool to lable a culture.
The whole idea of moral relativism and multicultuaralism is that every culture is just as valid as the next. Who are you to criticize a culture? You can't be "its all good" only when you agree. Either it's all good or it's not all good.
How about you come out and say it: you think Saudi Arabians have an inferior culture.
BTW Silverman actually says what she thinks then hides behind the badge of commedy so she is beyond reproach. Few white people get such a golden pass to say racial slurs that much.
For the VAST majority of all Gmail users, that has been the known deal since they started. It was free email, with automated targeted advertisement. This isn't news to any of us who remember when Gmail was a new thing. It is THEIR free system, and people are free to chose another provider.
Do you think that server farms, huge pipes, high-end sysadmins, and high-end developers are free? For the purposes of free Gmail, as was ALWAYS a part of the deal, their targeted ads ARE just as necessary as parsing envelope headers.
Highlighting the fact that people like Judge Lucy Koh are a ridiculous throwback to old English common law, given WAY to much power to create de facto laws even when they don't know what the fuck they are talking about.

The soviet union used to just throw the whole reactor in the ocean. Fissile material and all.

You are right. We should bulldozer it at once!
If by stable you mean the minority slaughtering the majority, whole towns being encircled in landmines to choke them off, and Uday and Qusay raping every girl they saw... sure.

What riches did we try for in Haiti or Somalia?
You REALLY think most people are inclined to give Saudis a pass because they have Bush ties???
We get more oil from Canada than Saudi Arabia.
our postmodern liberal ideals dictate that it isn't up to us to judge their culture.
it's all good.

Polygamy Porn. It's like drinking from a firehose.
Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed.

I guess Obama, Reid, and Pelosi are faster at getting the marching orders emailed over to CNBC.
