    My wife's old rice cooker made perfect rice and kept it warm for three days. Our new one makes good rice, but if we make three days worth at a time with it, we end up with a large bowl of rice in the fridge.

    Even (most of) the ones in the military now don't want equality, and can barely handle it if they get close to it.

    Male finishing a 12 mile march, with 40 pounds of equipment, walks to finish line with no problem.
    Female finishing behind him is barely able to stand, collapses to the ground, and needs encouragement to keep going.

    Did I say anything about American exceptionalism? No, I did not.

    I pointed out that it isn't proper /. etiquette to bring up the fact that the US isn't one small European country that can change or upgrade "all of their services for X" in one convenient legislative package.

    And to put a kick in the message, the list of recent train accidents lists several in Canada and Europe, as well as many Asian countries.

    You don't understand how national transportation systems work, apparently. And as much as I wish Congress would eliminate pork, I doubt if Amtrak was the only train running on that section of tracks.

    That's fine.

    I just can't stand the AC's line of thought, that the basics of human life only exist because of government. And the more powerful a government, the more basics that will appear.

    Uhhhh - you're pulling emotional strings here. How about we examine the actual numbers of cops killed, nationwide?

    http://www.nleomf.org/facts/of...

    It doesn't appear that the number of cops killed in a given year in the US has EVER EXCEEDED 300. The highest year on that chart looks like 1974, with 280.

    How does that compare with other occupations? Hmmm . . . .

    The 10 Deadliest Jobs:

    1. Logging workers

    Killed: 104

    2. Fishers and related fishing workers

    Killed: 127

    3. Aircraft pilot and flight engineers

    Killed: 71

    4. Roofers

    Killed: 60

    5. Structural iron and steel workers

    Killed: 18

    6. Refuse and recyclable material collectors

    Killed: 30

    7. Electrical power-line installers and repairers

    Killed:

    8. Drivers/sales workers and truck drivers

    Killed: 485

    9. Farmers, ranchers, and other agricultural managers

    Killed: 268

    10. Construction laborers

    Killed: 15

    I saw a similar list yesterday when I wrote my message. Insteresting you think the number 300 is an indicator, since none of the six most dangerous jobs come near that number. They have a high percentage just because of the low number of people in the field.
