Gary Johnson is still on running on the libertarian ticket.
I did put quite a bit of effort into feeling out what his history and ideology was about. I would far prefer him over Romney. And he beats Obama on many important issues. But on economics, his zealous idolization of the free market makes him undesirable in this economic climate compared to Obama.
Flat taxes are not inherently bad... If they also go along with sufficiently effective and progressive social benefits.
The problem with most flat tax advocates though is that they want the rich to play less and keep getting all their benefits, but want the poor to pay more and get fewer benefits.
A 50% flat tax on all personal income (including capital gains, and with a 0% corporate income tax rate) could pay for 100% of what the government currently spends money on and also provide a stipend to every household equal to the poverty line. That isn't really an optimal solution, but it is technically feasible.
I wouldn't trust the word of priests, they are indisputable liars if the dogma of their faith contains any contradictions. And I have not yet found a faith that didn't contain contradictions.
The expression of your right to not vaccinate your children infringes on the health of your children and children they contact to survive.
Failing to vaccinate is as neglectful and abusive as failing to feed your children.
The state has a responsibility to the children in public school, and is under an obligation to defend them against the threat that unvaccinated children pose.
I'll assume you're being facetious, but the general idea is that a company can patent an idea...
NO!
You can not and never could patent "ideas". The only thing you can patent are inventions. Unfortunately people are twisting this with over broad definitions of "invention". Any patent that begins with "A method to solve" is invalid.
and profit from it on an exclusive basis for a short time. Unfortunately the 'short time' part has been twisted beyond recognition.
I actually agree with the original intent as it does give incentive to invent in the form of compensation, but now its just grown to ridiculous lengths for the length of time the patent can generate income and it stifles competition.
Copyright is the IP that has been twisted by unreasonable extensions of duration, not patents. Patents remain fairly limited in duration, even if they have been perverted to cover areas they never should have, such as math, genetics, software and business practices.
I don't pirate. But I don't buy any music at all. As long as this blasphemy of copywrongs exists in its current twisted form I will never support them. All the music I listen too is on the radio, public domain, or independent.
Never link a bank account to paypal, ever. Linking a credit card for payment gives you some small legal recourse in disputing the charges. Your bank is not required to do so. On second thought. Just never use paypal. They are a wretched hive of scum and villainy that blatantly flaunt the law and abuse their customers.
I can charge any of my usb devices from any of my chargers, wall mount, lighter socket, usb attached to my computer, playstation or even the keyboard dock on my transformer infinity.
This goes for phones, tablets and bluetooth headsets. Maybe apple is different, i don't use apple products. But every other usb charger I know of is universal.
Right. And no part of your instrument approach ui is modular and also used for engine maintenance.
Funny thing about nigh infinitely programmable computers, you can do nigh infinitely different tasks with them. And the components used for those tasks often overlap, and don't have to be redesigned for every purpose.
Machine learning would require you to manually configure your window layouts repeatedly and the machine would learn from that.
Coincidentally, we already have this to some extent. Firefox opens new windows in the same size and shape you have most recently forced a firefox window into.
... I've actually seen that interface, except it was mouse controlled, it was an early 90's program I had on my 66mhz 486 sx with 4 megs of ram, I no longer recall exactly what it was dialing for.
Well, I am paying $85 (including my employers 15% discount) a month for sprints "unlimited" "4g". In practice, I never get more than 300kbps on "3g", and I typically hover right about the 200kbps max that 2g edge offers. The speed doesn't even get better in the larger markets like New Orleans, where I should theoretically be getting WiMax.
So tMobile is most likely going to be better for me, considering that I have a coworker that gets consistently good signal on his phone.
By the time we have the technology to smash together enough rocks that it can hold an atmosphere with its natural gravitational force, we won't need to live on a rock with enough natural gravitational force to hold an atmosphere.
That godlike amount of effort could be spent doing something more practical.
The child isn't being punished because the child does not exist starting at conception. A child doesn't exist for the first several months of pregnancy.
The victim of rape should not be punished. And being forced to birth the child of your rapist is an unimaginably cruel punishment that wouldn't even be fit for a convicted criminal.

A flat tax less than 25% would result in deficit spending even with significant cuts to government services and the military.

Because vaccines are not 100% effective. They work because enough people are immunized that it prevents the disease from spreading.

So does M$ now stand for Metro $exual?

tMobile has sim only plans that are somewhat cheaper than the phone included plans.
You are wrong.

from what I have seen, not in the metro ui. Metro apps are full screen only.

Some of my friends have those games, and they are not worth playing even without drm, even for free.
You would have to pay me, and better than minimum wage, for me to waste my time on those games.
Uh. no.
None of those games are worth the drm.
bacteria don't thrive that well at temperatures that melt lead.
This is actually pretty much true.
