I want to help Hawa Akther Jui, a Bangladeshi woman whose husband disfigured her right hand when she dared to pursue higher education against his wishes. She's determined to continue learning by training her left hand to write, and I admire her persistence. Anyone who wants to join me is more than welcome, details in my linked blog post.
If you're not a terrorist, there is nothing to fear from this.
Kapil Sibal wants to be able to control what you can and cannot say. That makes him a more immediate threat than terrorists. It's a shame you're too naive to understand that.
True enough, although it's not like that sort of grandstanding isn't found all over the ideological map.
Seriously, listen to Rush Limbaugh once in a while. As far as he's concerned, the only thing stopping the US from being the conservative paradise that an overwhelming majority of citizens wants it to be is a small, dedicated cadre of highly-trained political saboteurs and brainwashing experts known as liberals.
I've listened to him in small doses, and agree that he sounds like that. But then, I suppose that sort of hysteria sells radio ad time.
The very summary of this article is just assuming that the US has already thrown out the constitution and completed the transition to a communist dictatorship.
Did you grow up in a bomb shelter or something? None of the three branches of the federal government have given the smallest shit about the tenth amendment for decades. But, in fairness, even if they did, the summary doesn't call for federal legislation, just for cities to implement this, which on an individual basis they can constitutionally do.
No kidding. My mobile phone isn't as reliable in connections or sound quality as a landline phone, but it's so much more convenient that it's been the only phone I've had for nearly a decade.
Well, it's one more amazing thing, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most rovers, you know, will have ten amazing things. You have ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you have ten amazing things on your rover. Where can you go from there? Where?
This is the sort of thing can could be done over the Internet. You can stay where you are currently living and can presumably even do this in your off hours.
You could read all federal legislation in your spare time? You are one fucktastically fast reader!

What was it like getting busted by the Bureaucrash guys in front of the Cato Institute? Do you just hate those guys or is there any sort of camaraderie or at least friendly rivalry among culture jammers, even those with different ideological motivations?
Eliminating corporate tax would attract a lot of money that's currently going to lower tax jurisdictions. It would be a job creation tactic more effective than any currently being proposed on either side of the aisle in Congress. And since corporate taxes account for less than 10% of the federal budget, with the jobs it would create it would likely be revenue neutral, since more would come in from payroll and personal income taxes. Sure, tax accountants would have to retool to do something that actually creates value, but that's not a bug, it's a feature.
And watching the Europeans go ballistic when they realize they have to compete against a corporate tax rate of zero? Priceless.
I'm driving to Las Vegas from Virginia in March, and there are no electric cars that will do that in the timeframe my WRX will.
That's true. But a model where people drive electric cars for day to day needs and rent carbonmobiles for trips like you describe would still take most gasoline powered cars off the road. (I'm not advocating a mandatory switch to that, just saying it might fit your use case.)
Well, Romney's still the most likely to get the Republican nomination, maybe. But whether he's "from the right" depends on which way the flip is flopping.

People who did a little too much LDS in the '60s.

This analogy is definitely the winner.
Surely on a college campus, you can find more than 34 females to do a study on?
Come on guys, no one took the bait on this one?

Apparently what they want isn't on the script?
When I think of centers for programming and engineering talent NYC does not jump off the list? I would think it's costs are too high.
As opposed to Silicon Valley or the Bay Area?
I remember using NCR SVR4 MP-RAS, which was NCR's flavor of UNIX after they were split off from AT&T in the late '80s.
Okay, now it's someone's turn from the upper five digit cadre. ;-)
His type certainly act like they do.

As an American, I'm impressed with your keen understanding that he speaks for all 310,000,000 of us.
They won't go bust. I find it hard to believe that if they really needed it they couldn't get a a huge grant from a place like the Hewlett Foundation.
Maybe he's into ChromeOS?

destroy a portion of the province for profit.... wring all the profit we can out of the land....
So... do you drive a car?

I'm talking about manufacturing. Cheap overseas labor isn't the only reason it's fleeing overseas, overtaxation is also a big part of it.
I hope you weren't expecting an argument, since I have no problem with any of that. :-)

They do have the moon as their logo. Case closed!
Ahhh, that's a good point. How do we know he's really human? Has he submitted to a DNA test to prove it?
