    Why were there only two candidates? Couldn't they have used a larger piece of paper with room for 4 names?

    As for the laser pointers, the video on the article was pretty cool. Hope the pilots don't have any problems flying like that.

    No, I like yours better, and it is actually a coherent sentence. The other translation/retranslation is slightly off at the end.

    I'm guessing it is about having the dust cover scientifically important parts of the craft, such as lenses and clean sample bins. Also clogging filters or joints could cause issues.

    That's what I get when I have no caffeine in my system. And my eyes are not what they used to be either.

    This is an obvious case of self defense, if the thug that attacked Zimmerman wasn't an African-American, there would be no trial. There was too much race baiting and fake charges of murder were trumped up to appease the Martin family.My message to the Martin family is clear. If your son was not a THUG, he would be still be here.

    And if the term for those not logged in was "Brave Whistleblower", would you have the same reaction.

    It is just a label after all. One chosen by the site designers long ago.

    Thanks. I just wondered how many people knew the details, or if the AC simply was spouting bs he heard somewhere with nothing to back it up.

    And honestly, I couldn't remember who did it either. I just remembered it was thought up by those idiots at the Heritage group/foundation. Didn't want to google it right then either, had an appointment to go to.

    Thanks for the info guys. I don't really keep up on these things, since I'm not directly involved in those issues. I was working from memory of previous employers, years ago.

    I guess I should read up a bit soon.

    Whether you take the capitalist point of view or the socialist point of view, the end result is the same - we the people get screwed out of our earnings and don't have a choice in the matter. The status quo is maintained.

    This is why we must record these things. So that after the next revolution, we know what laws to prohibit in the new Constitution.

    Hopefully, it will all be settled within the next decade.

    Hawaii has a better method, which I believe is also unique among the states.

    Employers have to provide an insurance plan to their employees. The employer doesn't have to pay for it, just be a member of a group plan.

    I think the minimum employee number that requires this is 15. So if you want guaranteed coverage, get a job at any medium sized business.

    The part of the law that makes sense is that there is no 'individual mandate' provision.

    No, Obama has assumed dictator powers on many issues.

    He no longer needs Congress to pass legislation, and submit it for his approval. He can do whatever he pleases.

    I'm surprised it took so many people so long to realize this is what would happen.

  22. The Democrats are shooting themselves in the foot with this illegal delay in implementation of this part of the law.

    Only if you believe the implementation of the law isn't going to tank the economy.

    Which is what the Democrats are afraid will happen.

  24. Re:Obamacare for people who do not want insurance? on Obamacare Employer Mandate Delayed Until After Congressional Elections · · Score: 1

    I've heard that this law forces people to carry health insurance, my religious belief prohibit purchasing things like insurance, and I've already been breaking the law for 14 years not carrying car insurance, but I'm going to have a hard time lying to my employer and saying "I have other health insurance" so they don't give me this.

    What are people who can not, or do not want to have health insurance supposed to do when Obamacare goes into effect, apart from leave the United States?

    Accept that this is being implemented as a tax. Give up several thousands of dollars either to an employer-arranged plan that you never use, or to the government for not having that plan.

    Your employer doesn't violate your beliefs by putting you on a company-wide plan. But your paycheck will be lower.
