  1. God forbid that you ever owe for being a member of society.

    Being a member of society is not the same as involuntary servitude (13th Amendment). Got it. YOU MUST PAY to belong! So much for free association (1st Amendment).

    This is why socialists suck. They have no clue how they enslave a society.

    Just let that sink in. For you Bernie supporters, Bernie got 60% of the vote and 13 delegates, Hillary got 38% and got 15 delegates out of NH.

    Hillary knows she cannot lose, because she has already grabbed all the Super Delegates the DNC machine has in place to thwart people like Sanders. All she needs to do is win enough delegates to augment her sizable lead in SuperDelegate count and walk in the Convention without actually needing to win anything.

    Mark my word, Hillary is going to be the DNC nominee, even if there is FBI request for indictment.

    And you think you have a choice.

    Lose to Hillary? Hillary can't even win the DNC primaries fair. Though I don't put it past her to tie up all the super delegates and win enough others to trump (pun intended) Bernies delegates, and get the nomination. Which would keep all the Bernie fans home in Nov, or worse, going to one of the Socialist/Communist party candidates.

    As a Libertarian, I oppose the Min Wage. As a realist, I know you cannot repeal it. But as jobs disappear because Robots take over for humans (http://www.businessinsider.com/momentum-machines-burger-robot-2014-8 ) Min wage will become a non-issue.

    The people saying "global warming" are all paid to say "global warming" to get/keep Government funding, so that government can dictate to everyone (except rich n powerful) that we need to give up every technology that makes the world run.

    The fact is, ever number has been fudged to get the results they are wanting, to prove what they need to prove, to keep getting funding to support something that has no basis except "consensus"

    When every major prediction has failed, the the consensus cannot be right. I remember all those predictions of "worse hurricanes" followed by "almost no hurricanes", and "Polar Ice caps disappearing" only to have "polar Ice caps expanding (which is now the new "proof" of global warming), on down the line.

    not to mention the Greening of Africa, when it was supposed to be getting drier and more desert like: http://news.nationalgeographic...

    The problem isn't Global warming, it is that EVERYTHING is blamed on it. Ice growing or shrinking .. GLOBAL WARMING, more snow GLOBAL WARMING, more rain and greening in Africa GLOBAL WARMING!

    In fact, global warming may in fact be good for the planet, even if it isn't good for Humans. ;)

  16. My objection is that they are assumed "law" but never having been through the Legislature, cannot be "law" ... by definition. So the assumption should be "these aren't laws, more like guidelines".

    The problem isn't executive orders, it is that they aren't really laws, but are still treated as laws.

  17. Try disobeying an Executive Order. Then you'll realize that they are considered "law".

    Now, if what you're saying is that we can ignore them without consequences, then I'm in full agreement (in principle). But we all know that laws aren't meant for the rich and powerful, only us serfs.

    Gravity, from our understanding of Newton's laws, we now know Newton was wrong (technically) but close enough (approximately correct). We know this because Einstein's models are more accurate (and yet .. still not correct). The problem with science is that it evolves as we gain understanding. AGW has so many different variables in it, that it is bound to be wrong, and we can't even tell how wrong it is.

    This is why people use terms like "consensus" instead of "proven", because quite frankly it is still hypothesis and not even a very good one.

    When the answer to "it is settled" is based on "consensus" and not actual facts, then there is a problem. Once upon a time, Piltdown Man was "consensus" (and considered fact) science. The problem is that Science isn't consensus, it is fact based.

    Now, go and look at the Actual facts on AGW propopents, and you'll find all sorts of arbitrary and politically motivated "adjustments" to climate models whenever they break. Like the 15 years of "no global warming" (and counting) and the whole slew of predictions gone wrong. With a track record of failures why should we believe the GW proponents?

    IMHO the Science isn't settled, because science isn't consensus.

    HSR is a non-starter for most locations, IMHO. The cost is way too high for it to be functional.

    Hyperloop is, from what I understand, way more flexible than HSR, and just as fast (or faster), with less of the overhead. That would make it a good replacement for larger citys like LA or NYC or even in metroplexes like SD-LA and the whole Beltway on the East Coast. It might even work for San Diego - Seattle or Boston-Miami runs.

    Which is why I would suggest that if they start building it, start in NYC or LA with Proof of concept. The problem is, that nobody is going to build semi-permanent infrastructure for Proof of concept, as it is really egg-chicken problem.
