You're quite wrong, they did come about by equivalent means, using very similar processes. Both are generalizations of oft observed phenomena that were shown to have incredible explanatory power to the rest of the universe. In other words, good science.
That wiki has a whiff of the tiger who said "It's well I'm named such, as I'm so fierce." Arithmetic, Geometry, Analysis, arose from careful observation of the universe. It's not really a mystery that they are well applied to the universe.
Didn't the concept of numbers and their properties arise out of observed reality? Is it so mysterious that even the airiest of results would be reflect in the reality from which it was derived?
Mathematics is a rigorous way to describe the relationships between things. In so far as physics is describable, there's no great mystery that a branch of mathematics arises to describe it, so that we may more precisely and unambiguously understand what happens in the universe.
But of course, you're wrong about accurate models. What physics now tells us is that we can very accurately model exactly how the universe cannot be modeled mathematically.
Your logic is flawed. If Beck shows a picture of a statue from Rockafeller Center that's made in the USSR, that doesn't transform him from a nutty conspiracy theorist into a whistle blower when he says that the Center is designed to turn you communist (real example).
If Beck has video of Sotomayor saying "A latina is wiser than a white dude" or some such, that doesn't mean he's not quoting her out of context.
Those aren't reasonable arguments, since we can easily afford it, and since the Republicans have and will stand against any measures to stimulate job creation.
You are a strong data point for the notion that IQ doesn't reflect intelligence. Beck is a phony and a viper, as would be apparent to Jefferson or anyone with two neurons to rub together. And, in case you didn't notice, Jefferson lost his argument against a strong Federal Government more than 200 years ago, and it was finally buried for good in the Civil War.
lawyers who take this cases typically don't get anything if they lose, and if the judge thinks a case is frivolous, they can order the other side's legal fees to be paid, but in no way should this be assessed to loser of a legitimate case.
The campaign of the corporate controlled media to make people sympathetic with the idea of protecting corporations for accountability has been tragically successful.
It's the 2D nature of the beast. Women don't want to be skinny, they want to look good. But a 2D projection of a normal person looks like a featureless block of fat. Therefore, hoop skirts are out, and tiny butts are in.
There's actually been huge stretches of time (postwar period, for one) where a lot of thought about policy was actually directed at making policy beneficial for the country and it's citizens. It's only since the '80s that this went by the wayside, and even then it took 20 years to completely die, when we elected an administration that didn't care at all about policy. As John D'Iulio, a Bush insider and student of prior administrations put it:
"In eight months, I heard many, many staff discussions, but not three meaningful, substantive policy discussions. There were no actual policy white papers on domestic issues. There were, truth be told, only a couple of people in the West Wing who worried at all about policy substance and analysis, and they were even more overworked than the stereotypical, nonstop, 20-hour-a-day White House staff. Every modern presidency moves on the fly, but, on social policy and related issues, the lack of even basic policy knowledge, and the only casual interest in knowing more, was somewhat breathtaking..."
Don't be pushing any false equivalence between this admin and the last or any previous. With any luck, the last 8 years, a low point in thoughtful policy since before FDR, will remain the low point and things will start getting better again.
Yeah, pretty funny joke, to say that the Jews control everything, because of course they don't. You got me in stitches here! Or don't they? Likely they do control it all, then it would be sweet if we took it all back, then we'd all get a good laugh that way, too.
Look, all presidents have a few pet projects where they're willing to exert themselves to go above and beyond the influence of corporations. Obama's got net neutrality, the public option (I hope!). Clinton had his taxes on the rich. Dubya had...something...maybe the best you can say for him is that there's a whole mess of things he didn't do for corporations that he could have.
If even a handful of Republicans were serious about health care reform, the handful of asshole Democrats (and ex-Democrats) who are holding things up wouldn't matter.
But the Republicans have made the mostly correct political calculation that if there is no bill, or if it's a bad bill, it's all over for the Democrats. They also know voting for a good deal won't help them politically. Republican party discipline is so good that no health care bill will get a single Republican vote no matter what.
That sets up a game of chicken between your average Democrat who wants to improve healthcare and get re-elected, and your asshole Democrat who doesn't give a shit about healthcare, he just doesn't want to face TV ads saying "Big Government Liberal" next year.
By calling it "national service" day, rather than "terrorists kicked our ass and now we have to act like idiots" day, we take the day back in some small way.

Why so mind boggling? Quaternions are a straight forward construct from simpler ideas that are well formed representations of reality.

I blame the prevalence of two dimensional imaging in the media.
What do you think?
We need to know which direction to look for the invasion fleet.
We're currently 5-10 hours behind, not too far, but we don't seem to be gaining.

We were mocking the same people. Why you posted your so-called joke here, I don't know. (Is Agri-business traditionally Jewish?)

Their car is likely heavier and caused more wear.
Have a bushel of boys and see if your wife can keep the toilet seat down. Victory is possible.
