It's not up to the consumer if you're a politician from the left side.
(disclaimer: not all people from the left agree with the politicians of the left, and to prevent confusion my political views skew to the right)
But I have not seen a left politician in awhile say anything other than "You cannot protect yourself, you need the government to protect you. So let me decide what you can and cannot do for yourself."
Which gives you the lovely state of California.
Of course, in my state (not California) you can only have sex missionary style.
Clinton's administration said if our atmosphere became almost entirely CO2 the temperature would still be less than 25C:
"Scientists have been concerned with the greenhouse effect regarding not only the quality of life on Earth, but also its effect on other planets. Twenty-six million miles from Earth, in an orbit much closer to the Sun, Venus spins through space with a furnace-like surface temperature of more than 800o Fahrenheit (F) (426.5o Celsius [C]), which is much hotter than its proximity to the Sun would explain. Scientists used to believe that Venus fell victim to the greenhouse effect because 96 percent of its atmosphere is carbon dioxide, with nitrogen accounting for almost all the remainder [26]. It is now generally agreed within the planetary atmospheres community that carbon dioxide alone would lead to an average temperature of less than 25oC. The primary reason that Venus is warmer than this is the presence of sulfuric acid cloud cover over the entire planet, extending from about 50 kilometers to 70 kilometers from the surface."

So doesn't that mean the only harm CO2 presents is that we can't breathe it?... but CO2 is processed by plants so doesn't increased CO2 mean increased plant life which means reduced CO2 and increased O2? (assuming we stop destroying rain forests, etc)
Because he's my Uncle Don and thinks that if he could just find the time to sit down and OCR it (or equivalent) then he could include it in those damn Christmas letters he sends out every year. That way he can bored the hell out of us without even being present!
In high school i was just mocked incessantly for being a geek. In college I was still mocked occassionally but everyone would be my friend when they needed computer help.
My last year of college (jan 03-dec 03) I did a social experiment. When I talked with new people I expressed my interests as being motorcycles, mountain biking, that I was a Business Management student (I am), etc, but I never mentioned computers.
Not only did girls stop asking me to fix their computers all of the time, I started getting laid.
Except anyone familiar with this conspiracy theory and economics will tell you that oil hasn't worked like that. As much as OPEC has tried to raise the prices of oil by cutting back their production the U.S. has remained largely unaffected. Why? Because people other than OPEC sell us oil so we just shift our buying power to OPEC competitors. Then either OPEC catches on and opens the gates a little bit more or they themselves continue to lose revenues.
In fact, adjusted for inflation, gas prices in 1998 were the cheapest they had been since 1970. Almost 30 years and no price hike at that time...
I'd like to know why everything is my fault as an American.
Under the UN sanctions Saddam was being given money that was specifically for food and medicines.
Instead Saddam bought Russian tanks and French weaponry.
Mystically people started dying due to disease and starvation.
Wonder how in the hell that happened? Oh no wait, I know, him and his cohorts stole *billions* on top of *billions* instead of giving it to his people.
But it's still my fault as a Westerner that Saddam has a fetish for tanks instead of penicillin and bread.
Could you imagine this in your house? Your wife could be out grocery shopping but you'd still hear her voice yelling "DID YOU PUT THE LID DOWN?" upon leaving the bathroom.

You drop an e-bomb... you hinder your enemy. But your enemy is still there...
The perfect weapon is not the weapon that temporarily hinders the enemy. If I were involved in an assault on anything, my first concern is whether or not Johnny Badboy on the other side has a weapon and if so, ammo, not whether or not you succesfully disabled his communications to his boss or even took out Cartoon Network. If he's got something to fire at me and the means to do it, he is not *disabled* and it not out of the fight.
or maybe I'm missing something... but as far as I can think, nothing about taking communications out of the fight takes the fight out of the dog. Especially when our foes are in technological dark ages compared to us.
Just as good as the others. Everyone should see it. Fit in well with the others, had some good jokes, the big truck chase scenes were great and brought back memories. The TX was hot. Arnie is still the man. Connor still has personality problems.

They're defense might be that the fewer people getting paid overtime will require employers to hire more people to make up for those who stop working overtime. Theoretically more people will be employed and the companies can cut costs... but the person getting overtime is officially shafted..

Bill Gates doesn't want to pay dividends. The shareholders are forcing him to. If you hold it against Gates, which he can't control this, you're just being an anti-MS pro-Mac fanboy.
"The benchmark case in employment selection procedures is Griggs v Duke Power Company (1971). Willie Griggs had applied for the position of coal handler with the Duke Power Company. His request for the position was denied because he was not a high school graduate, a requirement for the position. Griggs claimed the job standard was discriminatory because it did not relate to job success and because the standard had an adverse impact on a protected class."
The courts rules discrimination did not have to be intentional to exist and that job qualifiers MUST be job related.
