Works until you start to consider the efficiency of use of that dollar in the public sector than in the private sector. $1 left in the private sector >>> $1.50 going to government waste and corruption.
But is a person a person or a collection of cells that make that person up?
Sorry, America gets a lot of things wrong but they get plenty right too. A lot of things that are "correct" in English English are only correct because they became ensconced when the standards for literacy were a lot more flexible and fluid than they currently are.
Yes, you can totally dominate that segment of the market on a marginal device. And if that should prove to be popular, the company that dominates on Android/iOS/Blackberry will take the couple of hours to port their well-known and popular app and crush you completely.
The nice thing about the old booths was that they were totally enclosed so you were out of the wind and rain for a bit. Unfortunately, this made them ideal places to doss for the homeless and drunk.
If you had a working cellphone, you could instead have a microcell and emergency powerable charging ports. No need to for infrastructure to support collecting cash and able to be used by more than one person at a time and easy to armor against casual vandalism.
Well, if you think the government is not going to protect you, I hope you live in a tactically advantageous location, have a stockpile of ammunition and guns, and a magic source of food. If not, then tell me this: what stops me and a group of my friends from coming to your home, killing you, and claiming your property as our own?
If you really wanted to? Not much, I suspect. If I got lucky I might take one or more of you down before your numbers overwhelmed. Though if you planned properly, I'm sure you could take me by surprise easily enough.
I can agree to disagree with you there. I see Bitcoin as having more than just anonymity going for it. I also don't think it will displace national currencies but I do think it has the potential to grow to be quite significant, particularly as an international currency. As to the courts, there are mechanisms available that mitigate the issue somewhat (escrow, arbitration and friends) and are arguably a better way to deal with things. But even then, I think you underestimate the courts. It's might be hard to see from the mostly homogenous environment of the US where the currency is not only used almost exclusively within a large area but is also the biggest player on the world stage but cross-border, cross-currency disputes have been being settled by the courts in many countries for a long, long time.

Whut? Nonsense. Not that they aren't (at least closely related) but there's more to it than that.
Yes. Because creepy and socially retarded is just "moody and interesting" but without the billions of dollars.
you can easily spot topics where the parties differ significantly,
You sure can. But it's the areas where they fail to differ that offer the most insight into what's going on.

40+ years is less than ten presidencies ago by definition. Exactly how many presidents are needed for a "tend" generalization? 2? 3?
Whoo.. oh I can't be bothered.

+1 on approval voting by the way.
Ireland? Really?
Winner-takes-all sucks and effectively disenfranchises up to 49.999% of a state's population.

I'm sure it will also be released on Windows 2095

Enjoy seeing your job go overseas because they actually give a damn there.

Should have checked the other replies first. Great minds think alike.

Maybe. But perhaps that would be better than having to open my wallet whether I did or I didn't.
just add a joystick and turn it into a side-scroller.

Dude, it's all imaginary lines. And the clue is in the name: "United States"
I bet they were paying rather less than a third of their income to those police corps though, right?
I bet those dead guys are sure glad the government was there to protect them.
