In a democracy, a citizen is someone who has power over the government. However, a democracy also requires almost all residents to have such power; almost all residents must be citizens, otherwise you'll soon get to the slippery slope of ever larger share of the populace being excluded from power, leading to a dictatorship.
This explains perfectly why the proportion of the population with the franchise has been increasing consistently since the inception of the USA, and has been repeatedly expanded in Britain as well.
When you build your own computers, you can reuse components, and by looking for deals, you can end up with something equal in price to or cheaper than a similarly equipped computer from a manufacturer. Of course, you may not get software licenses included, but you can always reuse old ones or go with an OS which doesn't require one to be purchased (Linux, I'm looking at you).
Settlements are contracted between two parties to resolve court cases without recourse to the court. Basically, you go to the judge and say "we've worked it out, it's cool now" and that's it. It's also very different from fines paid to the state.
Chances are they'd be useless to a Haitian school too. When you're struggling to find a building to hold school in, you generally don't have time or money to worry about setting up a wifi link to your internet connection.
You might want to try the flashblock addon. It blocks all flash by default but shows an icon where the flash would be, so you can click on any given flash object to enable it and only it.
I'm not sure about illegal, but certainly not good for you. It tends to concentrate chemicals in the alcohol that would be tossed in the heads and tails of a normal distillation, which tend to give worse hangovers and may have other undesirable effects.
The flaw with your argument is that there is a much smaller pool of road construction workers to draw from than from the general population, which all of your other statistics represent. I don't know how many road construction workers there are, but I can guarantee it's significantly smaller than 300 million. If we make the assumption that there are 1 million road construction workers, which seems overly generous, the likelyhood of being struck by a car and dying while doing road construction work is roughly equivalent to the likelyhood of being murdered.
A quick look at the bureau of labor statistics here suggests that in 2008, in the US, there were approximately 83,000 road, bridge, and highway construction workers. Extrapolated to a risk for the general US population, you would expect to lose about 220,000 people to being struck by a car in a workzone, about 5.5 times as likely as dying in a car accident in general, and an order of magnitude more likely than being murdered.
I suspect that the qualities needed to lead a successful revolution and to take and hold on to power in a nation are at odds with the qualities needed to lead a successful transition to a communistic democracy.
As far as I can tell, all the national communist governments currently in operation came into being through revolution, rather than evolution.
You can look at India from independence through to the late 80s and early 90s, when it was greatly opened to foreign investment, as being a relatively communistic democracy for a counterpoint to your assertion, though this is of course debatable. There, as well, it has clearly transitioned FROM that state to a more standard capitalistic democracy.
It is also possible that human nature causes a group of people to effect laws that they believe will make their own situation better without improving (or to the detriment of) others', and that this would cause a communistic democracy to transition to something more meritocratic.
You'd think that if you were going to come up with a pseudo-pedantic argument to justify your use of 'virii' you would at least take the time to actually examine the latin, where there is no plural for virus attested because it is a neuter mass noun. Nor are there enough similar examples to even create an analogy from.
Intriguingly, studies show that people who move to a foreign culture have significantly lower incidences of mental illness, and this benefit confers to their children to some degree, though it's mostly gone by the third generation. It does not seem to matter, however, which culture you come from, and which you go to.
This is something that strikes at the very heart of (IMHO) antiquated conncepts like tenure, which often works to cement boring, mediocre teachers into irrevokable positions in schools, draining the will of otherwise good students, and making education more expensive and less valuable to all others involved.
While tenure may keep professors teaching when they're not that good at it, that's not the purpose of tenure, and to claim that it is seems a bit disingenuous. Tenure serves to protect professors from retaliation, either in terms of their research or general academic politics, of which there are far too many.
Personally, I feel that there is too much emphasis on research positions at schools when there should be more space for professors who focus primarily on teaching, but this is a separate issue from tenure.
You're making the mistake of assuming that the gender (noun-class) is so called because of the makeup of all its constituents. The reality is that the only groups of constituents in each class that are reliably assigned to one or the other is gender, so the classes are named that after the lack of other reliable indicators.
Of course, gender as a noun-class has since expanded to include similar noun-class groupings in other languages which don't correspond, as with common-neuter languages, masc-fem-neuter ones, and things like bantu languages where there are 8 or more 'genders'.
This is why computers, smart phones, and other BIOS-updateable machines should have a "service mode."
Set the "service mode" jumper and the machine boots to a ROM which does nothing but load new firmware from a known location.
The problem with this is that it makes firmware replacement trivial, and while you and I might be interested in doing this, Sony, Nintendo, et al. are most certainly against our doing so.
Clearly you went to school after the wedge dropped. Everyone who took basic cuneiform lessons in 2nd grade knows you push them into soft clay, then fire it.
That's a long rant, that I won't dissect completely. The English language has these funny things called metaphors, similes, as well as Irony, sarcasm and poetry. Every/any combination of words can make sense. Ever read Finnegan's wake?
Finnegan's Wake is a modern-day sword in the stone. Many have tried to read it, but none have succeeded.
If you want to go see a doctor every year, pay for it. If you get run over by a truck, that's what insurance is for.
Unfortunately, that is the current practice with health care, and we know what that leads to... Emergency rooms with 4 hour wait times....
No, what causes emergency rooms with four hour wait times is idiots who are in the emergency room rather than a doctors office.
They're not idiots. They're well cognizant of the fact that if they go to the emergency room, they will be treated regardless of ability to pay, which is not the case at the doctor's office. Their need for care they can not afford ends up driving up the cost for you, since you are subsidizing it anyways with your medical bills AND they are going to the most expensive place because it is the only one which will treat them.
My oldest, now 15, was 6 at the time thought "Ghost Writer" from the TV show was "talking" to her via her computer...
I installed VNC to maintain her computer along with others in the house. I was playing one day, with her via VNC by moving her mouse, click on things. She opened NotePad and asked if I was Ghost Writer. I said yes, for the next two years we (including her mother) had great conversations (even helped with spelling) via this method without her catching on that it her parents she was talking to...
What did she think of all this later, out of curiousity? I'm assuming that now, a decade later, the cat's come out of the bag?

Just to clarify, there are still many people with citizenship who cannot vote, being under the age of majority.

If you ever change your mind, it'd probably be quite easy to get that pardoned or expunged.

That's not prejudice, that's stereotyping.
