Got news for you: you won't have a choice for long. Very soon, no one will be allowed to actually drive. Better to embrace the future than be dragged kicking and screaming.
And as long as people believe such nonsense, the government will continue to haphazardly stumble instead of actually accomplishing the goal. The greatest growth of the middle class in the entire history of the planet took place in the late 50s and early 60s. Look up the top tier marginal income tax rate during that era. It's no coincidence.
>> I don't know what you want to call that ideology, but it is morally debased and corrupt to its very core: There is more to life than money.
Here's a heaping helping of irony. The biggest barrier to social justice, i.e. freedom from corruption, is, in fact, money. Not money per se, but monetary systems. I said systems with an 's', but that's a joke: there is only one system in use in all the nations on this planet. All others have been ruthlessly purged. My sig is the red pill.
Got news for you: gluten is horrible poison. I didn't believe it either, but when I was diagnosed with terminal cancer, I stopped eating it in desperation. Guess what? I don't seem to be dying and I feel better than I have felt in decades. Getting rid of gluten is far from all I did, but the few times I have eaten it, by mistake or laziness, I have profoundly regretted it.
My point is that you have thrown the baby out with the bathwater. Silicon Valley is a tremendous bastion of free enterprise creating fortunes for otherwise ordinary people. This disrupts the otherwise monolithic progress of the entrenchment of old money, and for that the sacrifice of the charm of the Santa Clara valley is profoundly to be forgiven.
Perhaps just as important is the way Silicon Valley, by showing what does work about free enterprise, also illuminates what emphatically does not, for instance, providing electrical power distribution does not permit competition, so there free enterprise fails miserably.
Why the fuck did you tell that asshole judge the truth? All you have to do is vote not guilty and keep your mouth shut. Hell, you could even say something about reasonable doubt. Or not. Fuck that judge for being a despot, and fuck you for being a chicken shit!
Oh great, now we'll never get anything done. Let me ask the libertarian this: how are we going to have free market competition in electrical service? Run 4 sets of wires to each house? Oh, yeah, and about that gold you all are always going on about: who is going to pay for the mining, refining, and secure storage of the tons of gold needed to "soundly" back the dollar?
Our beliefs are based upon the doctrine of "Education is the antidote to the tendancy for power to corrupt".
Leave out the honey. Eating sugar is the best way known to stack the deck against your own immune system. And make you fat. I stopped eating all sugar and most carbs, and after 50+ years of struggling with my weight, I am now a the same weight I was at in high school, and never go hungry, plus I feel better than I've felt since high school.
You know, I haven't seen "boxen" for quite some time now. Yeah!
Along that line, I have a nomination for the next slang term or phrase to be abandoned: "congress critters". Really, what is the point of this term? "Critter" is just a cutesy, faux hillbilly way of saying "animal", so you are what? A wannabe hillbilly who expresses his or her cynicism about congress people by calling them animals, only in a watered down manner by using cutesy language? And taking this stance adds to the import of your posting how exactly?
You are both wrong! GP is wrong for not having any sympathy. You are wrong for not understanding that pushing someone menatlly and off the cliff are absolutely not the same thing. You silly humans.
Your generalization is far more false. Most Christians don't ever protest a dang thing. (They are trained to obedience, and their rulers don't like protest.) Muslims, in contrast, protest the holy shit out of all sorts of things. No, we are not talking about a majority of Muslims, but we are talking about a significant number. So, that is what makes GP's comment valid: if you, (that significant number who *do* protest), are going to be doing so much protesting, protest some of the shit too, no?
It used to happen all the time. "Men defending their honor" was a thoroughly accepted part of public behavior. It still is to a surprising degree. Cops commit all kinds of egregious violence and get away with it.
A thousand times better is Cannabis Juice. Juice made from freshly harvested leaves and flowers before they dry is completely THC free, so it doesn't get you high, and it will cure and/or prevent just about every known disease. Only problem is that unless you know a grower who will sacrifice a portion of his income to give you the juice, you can't buy it anywhere on the planet of the naked apes.
If you do this, let me do you a huge favor: go to Spam Stops Here, and sign up for their service. That accomplishes two key tasks: you will well and truly eliminate as much spam as it is possible to be done because SSH is the best. Second, and nearly as critical, you put a buffer between your Exchange server and the internet that will automatically spool your messages for you whenever you shut your server down.
I've used Postini, Barracuda, and others. SSH is the best!

FTFY.

Mac user huh?
Ron Paul, while sincere and un-bought, is an idiot. He thinks you could actually operate an economy with a gold standard monetary system.

No, so that they will be aware they are crossing lines, and then take steps to prevent or mitigate damage.

Nice try anyway.
Like as if it is ever about "religion per se". It's always politics, just more or less obscured by metaphysical balderdash.
>> some bishop made a laughable attempt to debate the film with the Pythons.
I want a dvd of that!!!
The puritan sensibility that drives protests against wardrobe malfunctions is the same sensibility that burned witches.
It didn't have dancing bunnies so I didn't watch it. "Viral" my ass.
Yes, and us sane USians, all fifteen or twenty of us, are deeply ashamed of that.
How is recognizing the destructive influence of religion on a person's rationality bigotry?

You live in the fantasy world where the "justice" system is concerned with justice.
So here's your real issue: you are pissed at women for ignoring you.
