Now that you mention I, thinking back upon my English courses in high school, there really wasn't much of the formal structure to be found. I don't recall ever diagramming sentences outside of my 10th grade English teacher, and she only did it with the Honors class. Everyone else was teaching us to read and had us write papers.
The years just before going into the real world are the most crucial. This is when the kid really starts to think he knows everything when he doesn't. They're the most independent of the dependent years. You must still parent them until you're confident the kid isn't going to make some bone-head move, like join a gang.
The last I checked the ESRB ratings on games also contain subsections with the particular categories that warranted the rating, such as blood, violence, excessive language...
The ESRB ratings do provide a lot of information to parents, and I've found that in most cases the ratings are extremely conservative. Simply put, the ratings are there to help parents make the decisions on whether their children should get a game.
Democrats didn't actually win Congress, it make look like it, but what actually happened was the Conservative Republicans just didn't go out and vote for the Republicans that had been betraying Conservative principles.
The point is that while thinking long and hard about some problems can be helpful (e.g. designing something complex and technical), for other kinds of problems, added thought can hinder (e.g. when there are many confounding unknowns).
I suspect the product would have actually been sold for $19.99, not $19. In which case, the math would work out to $999,500,000. Just a tad bit shy of the $1B mark.
One issue can be defining enough to vote upon, but it is going to be an issue that would make all the other issues a moot point. Who cares about the candidates stance on war, energy usage, the economy or education, when one specific issue threatens the sovereignty of your nation. You don't get to decide on your economic issues, the wars your in, and education when another country controls you.
If the price of oil will drop because of an increase in the supply of oil, then what would nuclear energy do to increase the supply of oil?
Well, everyone admits that nuclear power will likely replace coal power. Lowering the demand for coal should cause the cost of coal to drop. Why is this significant to oil? Imagine if we started turning our coal into oil. Coal is the one fossil fuel that the US has a plentiful supply. We could probably do this at a cost significantly below the price of a barrel of oil. So we could sell our coal oil at $70 for example, and if the oil drillers want to sell in the US, they're going to need to drop their prices.
I agree, people shouldn't be in the left lane if they're traveling under the speed limit and not passing, but that's not the situation that I described. I was actively passing people while traveling 5mph over the speed limit. Your comparison you made is like apples to oranges.
Driving an individual with a non life-threatening injury to a hospital doesn't strike me as a reason to be driving recklessly, especially if no first aid had been applied to the broken arm prior to the driving. Vehicles are not stable platforms, and reckless driving only exacerbate the stability issue. The only reason I can think of for an individual to be speeding is a woman in labor. It's not necessarily prudent to call an ambulance to take them, though some people do. If it's a life threatening injury, then you should call an ambulance so that first aid is given and care is given during the trip.
Further, speed limits still are speed limits. Exceeding them is your choice, but don't pull BS stunts to try to make other people surpass the speed limit. If someone is passing cars and he's doing the speed limit, grit your teeth and suck it up till he has the chance to get over safely. The reckless drivers create idiotic amounts of uncertainty for the safe drivers that are aware of their surroundings.
My list tends to be similar, with the exception of #1. I'm surprised at the number of Illinois license plates where I live (Ohio-Indiana border). It's like a bunch of people moved out from Chicago and never got their license plates changed. I do know drivers on Lake Shore Drive are freaking nuts. Slim lanes, no shoulder, bendy road and driving 20mph over.
As you said, safely merge over. The assholes in my city give about a 1 and a half cars length between each other on the road. They travel behind at about 1 to 1.5 seconds. That is NOT safe to merge over, in any stretch of the mind. The other thing is, the flow of traffic is about 70-73mph, because that's just below the point where cops will pull you over.
Speeding up doesn't help with tailgaters either, because they're always traveling at least 15-20 mph over when the surround traffic as a whole is doing about 5-8 over. They will tailgate you until you're going fast enough for them, so speeding up isn't a smart option. With tailgaters I tap my breaks, I do this three times, and if they don't back off to a comfortable distance I slow down. I don't give in to bullies of any kind, drivers or the in your face kind.
There's two problems with that. Speeding while passing is still illegal. If the person in the left lane is going the speed limit and passing people, road rage is a useless gesture. The second problem lies when the people that would be speeding try to encourage the person who is passing, yet not speeding, to either speed up or move over by tailgating.
Here's some anecdotal evidence from my life yesterday. I'm traveling home along the Interstate at 5pm. The speed limit is 65. The traffic is pretty thick, but most of it is doing 60 in the right lane and 65 in the center lane, while I'm cruising at about 70. So I'm passing the 65 traffic in the left lane, when some POS blue car comes up behind me and starts tailgating. Because of the traffic, there's no safe place for me to pull over (the people here generally travel about 1 second behind each other which is not safe to merge into). Anyway, this POS is tailgating me so close that I can't even see his headlights, which is a huge safety issue, since that also means I can't see his turn signal (not that he would probably use it, but it's the principle, and I couldn't know for sure). So I tap my brakes to get him to back off, he doesn't. By the time I reach a gap to my right where I could merge over, the guy whips around me into the middle lane, preventing me from merging over to let him and possibly other traffic pass me.
I saw him merge in front of a semi before some construction and hoped he had been rear ended by the truck, alas it did not happen.
Did you read the summary? Those "pledged" superdelegates can still change their support. Hillary has all the reason to not concede. In fact, if McCain gears up and start campaigning against Obama prior to August, and makes a huge blow to him, or Obama makes a huge gaff that can't be ignored. The supers may just as well go and vote for Hillary at the convention.
Preventive care has nothing to do with an emergency.
What preventive care, pray tell, will stop the cold? What preventive care will stop being shot? What preventive care will stop your 10 year old child from falling out of a tree and splitting his forehead open?
The reason emergency rooms are crowded has more to do with parents or individuals freaking out over the most minor of things, a scratch, a cough, a sneeze. When people stop thinking that OMG I coughed, I'm going to die (You think I'm exaggerating. I am, but only slightly.), then we'll stop having crowded emergency rooms.
The problem with preventive care not being affordable is actually attributed to Medicare and Medicaid. They pay hospitals less than the value of the treatment, forcing the hospitals and doctors to subsidize the Medicare/Medicaid losses with the private insurance companies. This pattern can continue, until private insurance can't afford to stay in business, and everyone is dumped on public healthcare, and we run into the UK situation.
You're assuming that governments are the only agencies capable of providing welfare, which is simply not true. Many charities and church organizations provide aid for people that need it, and the better part about those organizations is that since they rely on donations, they actually try to help the person get out of the economic situation that he is in, rather than doing nothing and letting the individual slum on the free cheese.
That's the issue many people have with government welfare programs, they don't provide much incentive for people to get off it.
Which do you think is better? Donating $50 to a charity that helps the poor, that is more likely to succeed at getting them out of their situations, and being able to write off the $50 for taxes, or not getting that write-off and have the government spend your $50 on people that probably won't ever leave the welfare system?
The tower is just one of the many sites of architecture within Pisa. The Duomo (cathedral), the Baptistry of St John are two such sights. There's also numerous churches and museums that could be worth going to see.
Later on though, they say you should have a non-magnetic fire extinguisher if you're going to be using it in an area with magnetics.
I can only surmise that they need non-magnetic Class D fire extinguishing equipment. You don't know if their experiment will generate a magnetic field or not.
Well, the point I was making is that not all economic news is not bad by default, like a lot of the media make it out to be. For instance, the media is confused as to why home sales have unexpectedly rise. Seems pretty obvious to me.
I like how people are saying the drop in housing prices is a terrible thing. It's immediately bad for those people wanting to sell houses, but it's a fantastic opportunity for people like me who live in apartments and may want to invest in a house.
