There's 1.1 billion Catholics in the world, and quite a number of those in poor Third World countries that can't feed all of their people[1]. Not all Catholics drank the Kool-Aid about not using protection, but surely there's enough among that 1.1 billion to account for quite a lot of population growth.
There's about 13 million Mormons[2], so (for the moment) they don't have the sheer number of breeders to be as much of a problem.

Seriously...who has SEVEN CHILDREN? On PURPOSE? Mormons and Catholics, i.e. members of those religions that don't care about uncontrolled population growth and its consequences.
The canonical example is for a defendant in a criminal trial to waive (or is it just "not invoke"?) his Fifth Amendment right to not testify against himself.
To say nothing of how hard it is to get invited to a Presidential debate. The parties colluded to change that to 15% standing in the polls, and you can be thrown in jail for trying to show up as a candidate, as two did in 2004 in IIRC Denver.
He still wouldn't be elected, but he might get a lot of votes as Perot did, since he's a Big Name, at least to some people.
To start your own party and get it on the ballot, IIRC you need tens of thousands of signatures in the state, and then someone has to vet it, which means you could be denied even if you got the signatures legitimately.
The Democans in SC (and the national parties,too) would probably crap all over his attempt to start up a new party & get on the ballot anyway.
I just can't understand why they'd use *this* instead of plain Ubuntu Gutsy. It's got Google apps integrated, but that and Enlightenment 17 (is that even beta yet?) seem to be the only differences.

And lower-powered rounds. No need for (since it's Finland) 7.62x54R when x39 or x25 will do.
Just wrap your willies and I'll have nothing to say.
If sea levels do in fact rise, we're going to lose some arable land.
WRT to placing infrastructure above warfare & such, that priority change probably won't happen. Human nature.
That's orthogonal to what I'm talking about -- I'm talking about overburdening the planet.

When I came back from Scotland last year, O'Hare had a line for returning Americans and another for foreign visitors.
That's about the only nice thing I can say about O'Hare, though.
There's a reason why most buildings don't look that way, and in fact have a very building-like look. Certain techniques *work*.
IMAO, this is as much MIT's fault as the architect's, because they approved this very experimental design.

It was actually of Goatse, which is why they had to destroy the only copy.
Give it time. Our economy could tank enough that it'd be cost-effective to manufacture here in the US again.
Why, no. I'm glad you pointed that out!
Never mind that they might as well be common carriers. Bits is bits, and mine have to traverse at least two major carriers' lines to get here.
Because then there'd be no oversight. You might as well have the party bosses picking the candida... oh, wait.

Cite, and elected by whom?
He ran out of time to file as a Republican.
Interesting fact: in South Carolina the Dems needed $2,500 for you to run as one of them. The GOP wanted $35,000.
Shows what demographic each party aims at.

Exactly! This is exactly what I mean when I tell people that the parties already narrow down who we can vote for.
The next time some knothead tells me that anybody can run, I'll point him to this story.
Sure, you can still run as a third-party candidate, but those don't get media attention and hence, few votes and no chance to win.

This is for the chilllldruuuun. Logic doesn't enter into it.
English, motherfucker. Do you speak it?
Read up on the military theory of "defense in depth". For a particular example, study Japanese tactics during the Battle of Iwo Jima.
