If it was an unavoidable accident, you are not responsible.
One might feel guilt, remorse and have nightmares, but if all safe practices were followed, no distractions or impairments were involved, and the pedestrian instigated the incident through carelessness, then you are not responsible.
I hear reports on the news weekly, "No charges will be filed" because the person was hit accidentally and the driver stopped, was not impaired / distracted, called 911, and / or tried to help the victim.
You need to dial down the size of your paintbrush, it is way too wide.
But, what are those marketable skills? What are the jobs of tomorrow that the kids are supposed to be learning? Where are the funds for this education? Just like the crumbling infrastructure in the United States, upgrading the working class is not on the radar.
The work of the future is a shifting target, and tossing out abstracts and vapor add nothing to the argument. Most people are involved in the service economy anyway, and unless you own the company, the pay will never be very good.
Most people will spend their work lives catering to the well to do, or taking advantage or the poor.
I thought that we were all pretty much aware prior to the election that Obama and his crew were against personal freedom and all for corporate freedom.
Just wait until the courts finish granting natural person status benefits to corporations without imposing natural person responsibilities and liabilities.
Vegetables are factory farmed, mono-cropped, and do have a nervous system. They are alive, and if those carrots stared back at you from your plate with big Bambi eyes, would you still eat them?
Just say that you are an animal chauvinist and be done with it.
Our votes don't change anything except the faces. The puppetmasters of those faces are not elected and do not care.
You really want to change things? Stop being a consumer of anything of corporate origin. Get your food, clothes and entertainment from your neighbors. Go off grid.
I buy a vehicle because I need to have one. I drive them until they die (usually about 15 years and 450,000 miles). Car != investment. It is a tool for engaging in life. Like anything that I use, I look at 'does it do what I need' and 'how long will it last'.
First...I live in the Atlanta outer suburbs and you are a fool if you leave any property unlocked. I live on 15 acres where I can still use firearms, and stuff disappears overnight.
Public transit does not work for those of us out here though. Drive 6 miles to a regional bus station that only drops me downtown. Take the train back uptown, catch a bus to the area where I work. My schedule is shifted to late morning - early evening, so the bus does not run past a certain street. Get off and walk a mile. Takes about 2 - 3 hours to commute and $5 in fares.
I drive it in 45 minutes. No parking, 20-21 mpg, so about $50 in gas a week currently. We have a farm, so I would still have to own a vehicle or two. I do value my time, though I would take transit if it were more convenient. I imagine reading, working with my laptop, all sorts of things. I stopped driving aggressively, so I do manage to solve programming problems in my head going down the highway. More soothing than trying to wring another minute or two out of my commute. Plus with speeding, mpg drops to 16-17. Adds up over the course of a year.
I lived in town for 18 years and was never a victim of crime. Out here, I keep the guns loaded.
It is not the neo-cons that we have to worry about. It is which oligarchs have the reins of which legislators and judges. It is beginning to look like the oligarchs that control the Obama group are going to take our intellectual and cultural freedoms from us, rather than our constitutional freedoms.
...turn off, tune out. Don't buy music, don't steal music, let them have their own world and do not participate in it. Get together with friends, make music on your own, share with your family and on and on. If you can't do that, STFU, you are part ot the problem. Only by cutting them off will you win. Otherwise, you fail.
Exactly how we did it. 40+ users, only the CEO, AP, AR and VP still have a full Microsoft Office product on their system. Those folks have OO3 as well. Everyone else is OO3 and Outlook 2000 which I am about to upgrade to 2007.
I wish I could dump Outlook, but for our environment, there still is no (cheap) replacement.

Welcome to hell!
It is called a cost of doing business. Factor it into your overhead, the same as any other cost. Or do not engage in business and STFU.
That's okay, I still can't believe how you cannot understand that you are not being taxed by that state.
Your intelligence is obviously taxed. I am surprised that being so dense doesn't hurt.
collect and pay a Sales tax
collect and remit a Sales tax
Please copy and paste that into your post as a correction.

Drop out, turn on and tune out!
I issue the phones, build the phone lists and keep the users in line. So yeah, he's got my phone number.
Unlikely, but scary.
Your fears are not unfounded.
What he said!
I do not even let the company pay for my cell phone. Just make sure my paycheck covers what I do for the company.
The RIA guys are quoted as saying they're not worried, because HTML 5 + CSS 3 is 10 years out.
If this is the case, how far behind will the browsers be in supporting the standards?
Way cool, wild and wacky stuff. Thanks.
I remember it as being a rear engine, air cooled car. How you drop that 350 in there?
We dropped Porsche 6 cylinder H-opposed pancake engines in those babies. Now you were unsafe at any speed cause they only went fast!
Some people just do not care about depreciation.

Try Orbit gum!
Brilliant!
He was trying to get a couple of hundred from his parents upstairs so that he could by his bud's old Yugo. Wise parents told him no.

What would they reconstitute as?
Actually it really has.
You should get out more. And straighten out your eyes. They might stick that way.
And what is the best way to stop it spreading further?
Don't buy, don't share, don't download, don't listen, don't watch.
Tune In, Turn On and Drop Out! Starve them all into oblivion. Play the game and they are legitimate.
Shooting is too kind...
