"...it's easier to buy meth than it is to buy cough syrup."
It's easier to buy meth than it is to buy food! You gotta wait till the store opens, Our dealers are anywhere, anytime.. And they won't card ya either. If the wanted to sell food, he will spend months on paperwork for all the permits and inspections. And it's distribution channels are just as mob controlled as drugs. Fucking sick depraved world we've created.
It's a question of psychology, not physics, statistics, or politics. The latter three will not convince a rational person to kill, or even harm another person.
Why should routine health care not be a personal responsibility like anything else in life?
Too expensive... even for healthy people. Then the damn doctor is prescribing all sorts of unnecessary procedures and drugs. (you have high blood pressure, you're overweight) Get a second opinion? (okay, you're ugly, too) Oh yeah, let's double the cost
Maybe not a bad idea, but I believe it would be better to draft politicians. It's the only way to get a decent character into the job. The people who actually want it are obviously unfit.
...triage rules...
Absolutely. Right now money and celebrity status rule.
Single computer driven patient records system
Better get a second one... for backup
And to hell cost/benefit ratios. If the patient wants to live, you do everything possible. If he doesn't, you let him go. Relief of suffering is all that matters, regardless of economic cost.
Then he was a dumbass for not releasing it first. Or, is it already out there, hiding behind all these scandalous diversions? Who's running the game here anyway? If anything, we're finally seeing the government and its business allies de-cloak their superpowers over the communications infrastructure. Now we know how insecure and unreliable it really is. Please make a note of that.
Money is NOT power.. Money is money, and speech is speech. The desire for money is the power to be exploited. And as far as I'm concerned "McCain-Feingold" is a violation of the first amendment. There's no law requiring to anybody to believe or act on any speech.
Even the do not call lists in the US are an utter failure.
Not for the marketers and spammers they're not. The law served to pacify public outcry for regulation with teeth...
It is truly naive to take a "privacy policy" seriously. Opt-in, opt-out, it doesn't matter. "Your call may be recorded for 'training purposes'".. Our economic system demands it. It will always be this way until we drown all the bankers and their lawyers (metaphorically, of course!) and try a different system of trading goods and services where nobody can acquire undue influence over another. Something that prohibits hoarding and speculation.

Until another judge, or five come along and say it doesn't.

They don't work in a car? Make 'em mandatory! Oh wait. I have a convertible...
No wonder my centrifuges were running crazy..
There really should be a license requirement for using computers on the internet
No way! Next you'll be demanding sobriety checks. So let's just nip that dumb idea in the bud, shall we?
My MS messenger has been setting off the anti-virus alarms for several months now. They come in through the ads at the bottom of the main window.

In reality, what difference is there between Communism and Fascism?
Well, with one, a train schedule actually meant something.
Heheh, too easy to track these days..
Yes, If you love something set free
It will return if meant to be
If not, hunt it down and kill it

...adult stem cell research is universally free game.
You think so? Wait till you get the bill...
Yes, call the po-lice
Jeezus! Another useless press release. Wake me up when the thing hits the shelf.
Count how many times the phrase "show off" is used. *GAG!*
It's not rape at all...
So what? Who cares? The story is serving its function of diverting attention.
we are ruled by a very evil bunch of elitists with our lawmakers in their pockets.
And we LIKE it! Get offa my lawn!
I really don't see how just throwing out a bunch of diplomatic cables "helps" the democratic process.
I'll take anything that provides a glimpse of how people corrupt power.
I saw a weird Outer Limits on that... Oh well, another shot at knowledge and curiosity... Ignorance is strength and bliss...bla bla bla
Aren't they using cards that can only be written once? How about going back to using mini CDs?
It's another case of doing everything but locking and securing a sufficiently resistant cockpit door.
