Is it your argument, that regardless of the number of electricity users who demand renewable sources, there is a finite amount to be delivered? Does consumer demand not factor into this equation at all?
As far as this report indicates, Humphrey BELIEVED he put his nation's interests before his own. That said, your belief in good and evil is different from his and mine. No two parties will ever agree on what the right thing to do is in every circumstance, but I would trade what we have now for good intentions.
Opus, Bill, and Bloom County rocked liked Slayer! Syndicated strips are presently & unfortunately going the way of dead tree newspapers. Back in the day, it was comics section first to check out The Far Side.
Rats and mice will chew anything (though they have a weakness for the taste of wire cable sheathing) because like a dog's toenails, their teeth never stop growing. They must be worn down by constant use.
Indeed. We are, by and large, the grand sum of our experiences and our genetic predispositions. I don't subscribe to arguing nature versus nurture, so much as I believe what we are is a spectacularly random combination of the two. There is certainly the possibility that these things can continue to help decades later, too.
Amen. I have relatives there, and if I could make a living there remotely, I would make the move. In the Northeast Kingdom, 4-500 bucks a week is the average paycheck.
So we're okay with multi-national corporations outsourcing labor and manufacturing to the country with the lowest bid, but when one man does it for a lower cost of living he is the devil incarnate? No dog.
The inventor or innovator of a new product is usually not the big winner when his/her baby hits it big. Every now and then, an entrepreneur doesn't sell out to the "big" offer that comes along with initial success... but that's not the way it usually works. As for Siegel and Shuster, they have renegotiated the $130 sale of their Superman idea several times in the years since, and sued for rights of copy several times as well.
When I was 6 years old, my father took me back to the store where I'd stolen a pack of gum with the money to pay the owner. After a rather sheepish apology that involved no eye contact from me at all, the proprietor accepted my dime and my remorse. My punishment was to return to the store after school and sweep for a week, every day after school. In the movies, that's how the story ends, with an errant youth learning a valuable lesson. In riaal life, his 11 year old son kicked the shit out of me every day but one... and that one day was the worst because I waited all day for the beating that never came.
Until we develop the technology and generate the will to access off planet resources, these finite things on earth that are being squandered for the amusement of the few need to be rationed responsibly. The incredibly burdensome task of putting each bit of weight into space should not be sold to the highest bidder, but to the highest science.
Well, for one, morons who are attempting not to run checks through a personal/business account for purposes involving tax dodgery. In addition, most major banks charge a fee to non-customers anyway...Chase and Wells Fargo charge 5 or 6 bucks per check.
Maybe. But there has to be a Western World for this type of technological "piggybacking" to occur. But maybe not, too. According to (some) conventional wisdom, the present Corporate policy of shifting manufacturing bases to the least expensive labor market means Foxconn is only awaiting a bit of political stability in Mama Africa.
China has the totalitarian control many in government and other positions of influence are looking for. Your reasonable expectation of truth and honor in your overlord's conduct hinders his ability to serve you properly. The bright, shining light in all this seems to be that the Chinese are going to the trouble to cover it up... this at least implies they care what their indentured populace thinks of them. I, for one, welcome the day when their malfeasance is their undoing.
It's not always the lil guys...Khadafy was six ft tall before he was six ft under and the running joke in the rest of the World during the American's lengthy search for Bin Laden was, "How can they not find a two meter tall Arab in Pakistan?" There are many ways to develop a special needs complex, starting at birth... and continuing, for some damaged souls, right up till the day they miss that hug and take that AK to show and tell.

Seems to me, Humphrey actually put the good of his Country ahead of personal and party gain. This is a far cry from what we've become as a Nation.

And if the United States finds itself unable to export democracy, at least the World's appetite for it's entertainment industry is insatiable.

O-8.
Since a little bit is good, more must be better.
Right..... Yet the friggin' USPS is going, going, gone legendarily broke with all that ad space on the side of how many million vehicles?
Ah, so you're making fun of the Americans' "voluntary" income tax payments?

I haven't felt like this since they sent my 18 year old arse to the truck for the board stretcher...
Why not make an Al Gore Spider Goatse joke and be pwn with it.

Right back at you though... tomorrow, in remedial English, you and the other kids will have a pop quiz. The answers will all be A, B, C, and D.
