    As has been shown, the chemical release post birth gives the mother more confidence. So unless they have been trained with critical thinking skills, that boost in confidences makes then think every wild ass idea is right, and that they somehow have special knowledge.

    If we can get science to mitigate the ill effects of a religion, then it's a good thing.
    Of course, it's about control, so they will likely come up with some excuse not to use this.

  18. Re:Betamax on Panasonic Announces an End To Plasma TVs In March · · Score: 1, Troll

    Define superior?
    Betamax was licensing and taps size. The technical merits that it was better with didn't out way the areas people wanted. Plus you watch a tape a few times and all those betamax advantages went away anyways.

    Plasma is a huge power sink, and doesn't work with the incoming tech.

    Plasma doesn't have 4k people will afford. It needs to have some redesign.
    Plasma is a huge energy sync.

    So by those metrics, it isn't better.

    Long term, savings is better for the people. Saving is not no spending.

    Fair means each group pays the same percentage of the overall taxes. Not 1 person pays more then another person.

    As a group, yes the poor pay more. 12% of taxes come the the bottom 20%
    7.9% come from the top 1%

    The top 1% pays the least percentage of tax revenue then any other group.
