I was going to chastise you for rewarding AT&T, as they are a horrible company and deserve to go out of business. But I see your other choice was another horrible company that deserves to go out of business. So yeah.
You don't want zero tolerance? Then make schools protected from litigation. Because that is why schools have gone with zero tolerance. It protects them from litigation. A sue Happy society had brought this upon us.
While true. I usually come to Slashdot for the Audience of Slashdot. That being said, I don't want Slashdot to expand to a wider Audience. If it does, then it will loose what draws me to it in the first place.
Major Legislation passed by LBJ: Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act, & the legislation tied to the Great Society
So yeah. IF you think the Civil Rights & Voting rights were among the most important pieces of legislation ever passed, then LBJ blows Kennedy (and many other presidents) out of the water.
If he had written this book while in office for either President it would have A) gotten him fired and B) been news for a week till something else happened.
Half the posts about this story have been "duh, we all know this". But yet, it doesn't change. His taking a bullet would have only cost him his job an enacted no change. Look at Snowden. He squealed on the NSA and about all that has changed is that he can't live in the US anymore.
The anti to that is if you can make a career out of being a politician, then you constantly make sure that you please the people who elect you so that they will do it again.
If you were limited to 1 term, then their would be nothing holding you to the people who elected you. Those elected would end up serving their own self interests - more blatantly then they do now - instead of the people.
Plus, to get ANYTHING done in Washington you ahve to know how to get it done. Rookies don't accomplish much because they don't know how it works. That's why Pres. Kennedy was a failure at passing legislation. He didn't know the ropes of Congress. IT's also why LBJ actually passed all of the legislation that Kennedy dreamed of passing. LBJ spent a lifetime in Congress and knew how the system worked.
Pretty sure that informed* voters for Obama new that he planned on pulling out of Iraq and ramp'ing up efforts in Afghanistan. Obama made that pretty clear.
*The question is what percent of any voters are informed.
The main difference 200 years ago was the their wasn't a large bureaucracy because the Federal Government didn't do much. The Antics of Congress and the Administration was probably about the same.
This is bad for the market. The glory of the internet is that the barrier ro entry is so low. IF you start making it to where a company has to pay for the bandwidth of its users, then you raise the barrier of entry. Not good for innovation.
Or, at the least animal feed, so the price at the grocery store isn't as bad, and farmers/ranchers are not as pinched as before.
That's why you see "Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA) and Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK)" working on gettign rid of the corn/ethanol requirement. The requirement is raising the cost of corn so much that it is becoming cost prohibitive for ranchers to use corn to feed their cattle.
They wouldn't have lead a bloody and long armed revolution against the English Crown. Should George Washington not have done that? Gandhi & MLK are great men, but their way isn't the end all be all. It's one tactic in a bag of tactics.
No, the Bush "cronies" were good. They new back in the early 90's that invading Iraq was a fool errand. Same with Afghanistan. But look at Halliburton's profits since we engaged in "state building" over there.
Same reason why slave owners gave up slavery for workers - you don't have to take care of them. Communist leaders "gave up" communism by transferring public entities to themselves as private businesses making them instant billionaires with no legal obligation for the workers/people anymore.

I disagree as Apple is IN the case. However, small, it can have a influence by showing Apple products in a positive light.
It was your mom

He told his daughter.
I wonder that too. As a tech site, should the users be given options.

Yeah, The Ptolemy's made any European Monarch's gene pool look down right diverse!

I think many people confuse Atheist, Agnostics, and Nontheists.
Is the New York based Satan Temple part of the Church of Satan, or a different sect of satanism?
Very true. while it is refreshing to see how the Pope behaves, it means very little if his flock does not follow suit.
Would Gandhi have done this? Martin Luther King?

semantics. The umbrella is useless if no one will use it.
None. He only had to make 1 prediction per decade.
