This is what is so wrong with the US. Corporations were originally granted limited liability for investors in return for limited rights. Now that the 14th amendment has granted "human rights" to "property" corporations have both limited liability and human rights giving them in fact more rights than humans. This is why Romney saying "corporations are people my friend" is so dangerous. If corporations want to petition government the executives can spend their considerable income to do it, the employees can spend their merger income to do it and the investors can liquidate some stock and spend their money to do it but the corporation itself petitioning government would be as abhorrent to the founders as tax free churches telling people how to vote.
On the other hand, the people who own corporations are taxed twice, once on the corporation's income at the corporation level, and then again at a personal level. So it's not all hookers and blow.
I assume, then, you donate blood as often as they'll let you, and are on the list to provide your spare kidney to whomever needs it? I'd hate to think your comment was empty sanctimony.
We have a planet with a comfortable capacity of 5 billion and a population of 7 billion.
The Earth isn't overpopulated, it's just that large parts of it are inefficiently managed. You can tell which parts are the most poorly managed because that's where the hungry people live.
Or are you trying to make us believe that they will stay at home and let the Dems walk back in, rather than go out and vote for a GOP nominee they don't happen to like as much as, say, Sarah Palin?
Enough will stay home that Obama will skate back to the White House. Not all of them, no, but enough -- it doesn't take many. You make it clear you think this isn't possible, but if you ask John McCain, he'll tell you it is.
The GOP base isn't going to come out to support Romney on Election Day, and he's not exciting enough independents to make up for it. Obama will be less of an electoral loser than Romney, and that will be good enough.
I believe you, at least for most of them, but you have to admit they don't do a very good job coming across that way. Perhaps that's a side effect of a political culture where it's better to piss off the other side than to rationally explain your side?
If you still feel Wheezy covers this, reply again and I'll try to explain it differently. This is really nothing like Wheezy at all. Unless you want it to be, of course, then it is almost exactly like Wheezy.

To get around this issue, Windows internally names it 6.1, so the offending software thinks it's on some Vista service pack.
Correctly, many would say.

So barbarism is the opposite of taking from people according to their abilities and giving to them according to their needs?

Thanks, now I'm imagining "Molon labe!" being said in robot voice.
I can see the bumper sticker now: "I'm a gorilla... and I vote!"
Because many Slashdotters have a kneejerk reaction against anything that sounds remotely vegetarian or vegan, even if it's pertinent.
Our lifetimes? I'm a Singularitarian, you insensitive clod!
I use fallback mode, and will keep doing so as long as it's available. It's exactly what I like to use.
Might they also say, "I hope she's an escort!"
Plus it's ridiculously well documented that the government makes things safer.
Even if that's so, it's kind of a stretch to use a work of fiction written by a socialist as that documentation.
And I would cry about this every day on the deck of my gigantic yacht.
Don't worry, your sig totally has you covered. :-D
Outside the U.S., you mean. Canadians are closer to British usage than American, and in the English-speaking Caribbean British English is de rigueur.
I'd give Rihanna some love, does that count?
So what you're saying is that 95% of TV gives the other 5% a bad name?
It's short for MAFIAA.
Democrats also want to get rid of abortions.

He was taking the moral high ground as an individual, not "as a nation", whatever that's supposed to mean.

Why not try it? If you don't like it or it otherwise doesn't work for you then you've lost nothing.

Yes, but unlike Keynes, I have kids, and would like them to live in a country that's not totally fucked up from a disregard for long term thinking.
