The difference being that the people on the left that recognized it as a giant clusterfuck, still supported it and the politicians that forced it upon us. Authoritarians don't care if their provided services are good or bad.
You do realize that Cynthia McKinney was the Green Party nominee in 2008, right? For me, it would take a lot for them to right that wrong and get my consideration again.
Yeah, look at how well the speak soflty and carry a tiny stick has been working. No cold war here. We're the best of friends after our reset of relations with Russia. Red button gag gift and everything.
OK, then if we narrow the scope to what is generally regarded as the historic era, we are looking at about 5,000 years. A relative microsecond in the life of planet Earth.
800,000 thousand years? That sure sounds like a long time, but I'm just an ignorant, lowly human. Didn't some of the largest life forms in the history of the world exist when we had much, much higher concentrations of CO2?
...a MakerBot, is going to research the thing first. Why would they pay for the privilege of getting ripped off at home depot when there are other places it can be ordered for less?
You just feed into a heated hopper that keeps a larger volume of molten plastic, instead of doing the melting at the print head which requires high localized heat.
I entirely disagree that Kelo is not applicable. This is what O'Connor wrote in her dissent.
"Any property may now be taken for the benefit of another private party, but the fallout from this decision will not be random. The beneficiaries are likely to be those citizens with disproportionate influence and power in the political process, including large corporations and development firms."

And sometimes an algorithm can't predict the future OR correctly duplicate the past. Just see global temperature models.
Not in the Age of Obama.
...it's called the Bill of Rights.

OK, then no sanctions it is.
There are things called Unilateral Sanctions. European resistance can't prevent them.
I'm still trying to figure out how European resistance prevented the US from enacting unilateral sanctions.
Are you saying that the reason Obama didn't create strong US sanctions against Russia was because of European resistance?

That's fun, but also hugely irrelevant.
North America was much closer to the equator and the topography was entirely different.
Dinosaurs ate proto-humans? I'm talking about the period when CO2 levels were much, much higher.
What did the huge predators eat?
I'm always amazed at how many people that outright reject Rush Limbaugh still listen to his show.

Oh, sure. All the great innovations that business and corporations have developed were clearly the result of rejecting science. Idiot.
, while CO2 has been at the highest levels in history,
Are you sure about that?
Actually, they're taxing the air that plants breathe. Or the air that we eat.

I'd like to find the decision. The constitution makes no mention of eminent domain. I don't think Kelo was solely limited to eminent domain cases.
No, but it is a case of government seizing private property and giving it to another private entity, "for the public good".
