And probably more importantly, we do know, with numerous studies, that for all popularized tests, IQ is more than 90% training determined and not genetic.
Amtrack sucks, but Social Security? Pretty awesome for the payees. There are millions of people cashing their checks successfully every month. Postal Service? Best delivery company in the world by a wide margin in terms of reliability and price.
This isn't going to work out as well as you'd like. Given the massive government investment recently, short term economics ARE going to get better. Which means Ds can take credit for that at the 2 and 4 year elections, so I think you can safely assume we'll hold the presidency for 8 years. At the end of that, the natural business cycle will ALSO be recovering, which likely means that the picture will be even rosier, and you may well be facing down 8 years of Hillary riding on Obama's coattails.
But, but... while I distance myself from the nutcases in my party, your statement seems to embrace the nutcases of yours. At least we both admit the nutcases exist, but I like my position better than yours.
Unfortunately, there are other explanations for the injury rates. Many more people run today. With more people running, the number of injuries is up, proportionally. With the number of injuries way up, you have many more people looking for solutions. The more injured, the more desperate, driving up the price they will pay for a shoe to try to fix their problem. Therefore, the more you pay for a shoe, the more likely you are to be injured. And once you are injured, compensating for injury will make you even more likely to become injured again or injured worse. So the people with the most expensive shoes will have the worst and the most injuries. Older runners is another dimension. People are now regularly running into their 50s and 60s, where running after 40 used to be a rarity. And guess what age group has the most disposable income to pamper injuries, while also having the most frequent injuries?
If you can run a car miles on twisted up rubber bands, that is a breakthrough. Current twisted rubber band technology is weight bound, and can't run a real car more than about a quarter mile within the volume legally allowed for passenger cars in the US.
Better call it a whole year unless your solar installation migrates around the globe fast enough to keep up with the sun.:-) (And realistically, It's probably more like 3 years).
You do misunderstand. In addition to the age line there exists a mental competency line, and people not mentally competent to give consent are found to be rape victims on a regular basis by the justice system. A 30 year old with the mind of a 12 year old cannot give consent.
Most people have the brain development to consent for sex before 18 (or so our society has decided). In fact, many are probably ready at 16 or 15 or even 14 (before 14 brain development rules out the possibility of truly informed consent, your brain is simply too mushy and easily manipulated by someone who knows what they are doing... seriously, have a look at the psych research in this area). But in order to have a safety margin, we boost the age a bit so that statistically we will have as few unready people coerced into sex as possible.
Yes, you should definitely card people before you take them home. Not doing so in questionable circumstances is just stupidity on your part.
People with special status like that are covered by the laws in every state. They are indeed incapable of giving informed consent, both literally AND legally.
They created a vaccine for polio, not a cure. Seriously, name a disease for which a cure rather than a management has been developed in the last 40 years.
Right, because there are no genetic differences between the Amish and the general population. Also, they don't use artificial conception methods. Or as much drugs while carrying their babies. Etc. Etc. The number of differences between the Amish and the general population unrelated to vaccination but relevant to autism is a very long list.
A.006% to 2% change would be easy to detect in a population study. You could detect it with less than a thousand children in a study running less than 10 years.
The fact that such studies have been run, and no such link has been found, indicates that either the risk difference is much, much, much smaller than that, or that there is no such risk at all, or that vaccine makers bribed an unbelievable number of doctors and researchers without detection.
There are also lots of other potential correlates with autism: Environmental (as you mentioned... sooooo many choices here). Conception (lots more babies via the test tube) Detection (maybe autism level hasn't changed, but detection is better, or simply wrong more often now)
Allergies are quite easy to come by... the vaccine has to be a small amount of the target disease (usually dead) suspended in solution. It's the solution a lot of people turn out to be allergic to.
But within a year, you'd have a robust, performant windows operating system. In two years you'd have the complete *nix api supported. And it would all be free, so why would you care if linux lived or died at that point?
Most light packaging lists lumens and watts these days. It's probably required by regulation, but even if not, who would buy unlabeled? You'd have to know you're probably getting crap if your bulb doesn't advertise its input and output.
The issue stems from Article I, Section 6, of the Constitution, which says: âoeNo Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time.â Emoluments refers to compensation.

I have a no soliciting sign and an electrified door bell, so when they show up at my door, they're going to kill themselves.

It's the only way we'll have a shot at defeating the aliens, so we really better get with the program.

Don't say I didn't warn you.
Slashdot isn't about being the fastest to the news story, it's about the audience.
Sadly, I'm pretty sure there's a non-thinking majority in this country who are completely buying into the fascism talk.

It's harder to imagine that you've had a functioning SSD for ten years than it is to imagine that he's had one hundred fail in less than a year.

And they created the vaccine long before the current era of evil drug companies. We've had only one new vaccine in the last 30? years.
Too long ago. There's almost nothing in use that wasn't invented 50+ years ago. The few that are newer are mostly minor derivatives.
They created a vaccine for polio, not a cure.

Why should people in rural states get to dictate policy the other direction? Why should either side get preferential treatment?

The GP was correct that there was a constitutional issue:
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/02/is-clinton-eligible-to-join-the-cabinet/
The issue stems from Article I, Section 6, of the Constitution, which says: âoeNo Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time.â Emoluments refers to compensation.
However, the issue has been addressed:
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/19/bush-approves-bill-reducing-secretary-of-states-pay/
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/19/bush-approves-bill-reducing-secretary-of-states-pay/
They reduced the pay of the position to make it constitutional.
