The theory is that more ideas will be generated by rewarding those who create them. But consider the number of people who are denied the use of the idea... is it a fair trade-off?
No, really! I'm just trying to reward the guy who wrote this term paper the first time.
What does patriotism have to do with this?
Jingoistic: Extreme nationalism characterized especially by a belligerent foreign policy; chauvinistic patriotism.
I know I'm just asking for it by some hard-core churchgoers AND the agnostics by responding to this. BUT
One day to God could be an uncomprehendable amount of time to us.
Also, any resemblance of a city or urban development would be destroyed by a land slide/slip. The obvious answer is that the sea level rose over the "city".
It's probably just a gimmick for a new Disney theme park being built by the Cuban Government.
I posted this to the first Katz article, but it got buried.

GHENT, Belgium (AP) -- Global trade can help win the war against terrorism if the West spreads the wealth it generates more equitably, former President Clinton told a conference of globalization critics Tuesday.
"Not everyone who's angry is angry at the civilized world and wants to destroy it," Clinton said. "A lot are angry because they can't be a part of it."
Arguing for more globalization, not a retrenchment in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States, Clinton said bringing terror suspect Osama bin Laden to justice is not enough.
"We need to reduce the pool of potential terrorists by increasing the number of potential partners in the 21st century world," he said.
He called on Western nations to foot the bill to raise living standards and improve education in the developing world to promote equal opportunity.
"Global trade is not bad, but there's not enough," Clinton said. "We need to spread the benefits and reduce the burdens quickly to all the people."
Clinton was invited to the University of Ghent by the current president of the European Union, Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt, who has sought to organize a debate on "ethical globalization" ever since anti-globalization radicals rioted outside an EU summit in June.
Rather than the attacks overshadowing the discussion, speakers agreed that solving problems like the growing gap between rich and poor -- what Clinton called "the dark side" of globalization -- has become even more urgent.
"In a way, the Western world saw the price of poverty flashed up on its TV screens on Sept. 11," Verhofstadt said.
"Poor unstable countries and regions that fall prey to gangs of criminals" like bin Laden's al-Qaida network are part of the price, he said.
Some speakers expressed fears that the U.S.-led military response to the attacks would divert resources and attention from anti-poverty programs.
"It's a no-win situation for us," said Dr. Owens Wiwa, a Nigerian activist who expects a tougher time raising money for Africa's AIDS crisis.
Naomi Klein, a best-selling Canadian author and anti-corporate activist, said she was afraid the war atmosphere would make it harder to be publicly critical of globalization.
"People are afraid that being critical of the market is seen as being anti-American, even treasonous," she said.
But she said she felt that the needs of the poor and excluded would have to be addressed.
"It's become a security issue," she said.

BBC America and the Discovery Channel are airing a program that has some history about the CIA and Afghanistan.
One interview has former President Carter's national security advisor talking about how the US helped Afghanistan make Russia's Vietnam. 10 years of fighting and nothing.
We've been taking the hands-off stance of late. We've said "knock it off" to both parties. Do you really want to send troops there to get stuck in the cross-fire? I doubt Palestine and Isreal want us there.
We have not been the agressors on anyones soil. This is an act of war. Whomever is found responsable will be punished!
My last flight to LGA we went right up the Hudson with Manhattan on right and made a big turn over the Bronx to land in Queens. I doubt it's a navigation error, but normal flights do come close to Manhattan.
Will the Y2K hype of a few years ago repeat itself for the 2038 rollover? People spent tons to fix the 2 digit year. Will we all be running 64-bit systems by then or will we spend tons to to keep counting the number of seconds since 1970?
Sounds like RIAA is saying. "Look how much trouble they're having filtering out copy written songs! Let's make them filter in songs and nothing will get through."
The only thing you'll find on Napster then would be Happy Birthday.
So every little indie band around the world has to somehow opt-in to the RIAA?
I'm rambling, stop me now. Damn, VBScript why doesn't 1 = 1?
Ricky Martin will be old. Christina Agularumpus won the "kiss of death" best new artist grammy. Who will scam all the 13 year olds from their money? I say it'll be Brave Combo Bring on the accordians!
What's the matter Slashdot coward? Didn't get the good job after graduation from Cleveland State? CLE isn't a bad town. DSL is coming town now. Cablevision sucks sure, but this town has quite a few IT jobs for the MidWest. And the women are great i.e. The Pretenders and my girlfriend. Plus you've got Knuth's Case Western Reserve University. Don't forget the muse for Pere Ubu. Mistake on the lake no more
Slashdot Mirror
Some stupid with a flare gun burned the place to the ground.
Maybe that Britney Spears album he's been listening to is stuck in his head.
Oops, I did (or done) it again.
Was Taco on a sports team in school? His coach must have got him out of taking English 101?!

C'mon Katzy. Using vapid twice (not well either) in the same review?
BBC America and the Discovery Channel are airing a program that has some history about the CIA and Afghanistan.

You must be lucky. A search for just "City" brought up quite a few listings, but nothing for Kansas City.
See what stations belong to Clear Channel in your town. Boycott/Call/Email them about the list if you disagree.
As I replied before. Who are we oppressing?
Yes, America is a privledged country. Does that give somebody the right to target civilians?!
The people who did this DO NOT want to live within this system. They want to destroy it.
We have embargos against countries we don't agree with. Let them embargo against us... Ah yeah, they don't have anything that we want.
Who are we pushing around?!
We've been taking the hands-off stance of late. We've said "knock it off" to both parties. Do you really want to send troops there to get stuck in the cross-fire? I doubt Palestine and Isreal want us there.
We have not been the agressors on anyones soil. This is an act of war. Whomever is found responsable will be punished!

Bring on the accordians!
There's no such place as the University of Ohio. Ohio State University & Ohio University yes.
What's the matter Slashdot coward? Didn't get the good job after graduation from Cleveland State? CLE isn't a bad town. DSL is coming town now. Cablevision sucks sure, but this town has quite a few IT jobs for the MidWest. And the women are great i.e. The Pretenders and my girlfriend.
