Don't forget that the editors remove people from the mod pool if they upset them. I haven't been able to moderate in almost 3 years even when I metamoderate.
I think that is they way you sue state governments. Kind of like all the lawsuits that were XXX Vs John Ashcroft when they were really suing the federal government.
The two most up to date hospitals in my area (Trinity Mother Francis in Tyler, Texas) and (Good Shephard in Longview, Texas) are non profit hospitals and the most advanced in the area.
The bring in a lot of money, they just can not make a profit. A non-profit hospital is a different animal than a charity hospital.
Not all hospitals in the USA are for-profit. A lot of them are non-profit and, at least in my area, the non-profit hospitals have a lot more volunteers than the for-profit ones.

Some consider oral sex and other than missionary position sex to be "violent" and/or "against natural law" so should we make those acts illegal?

Would it have been better to have cost the PostgreSQL project money by just posting a link? It isn't like they are a for profit org that has money to spare.
Forgive me for posting information about a free open source database in a discussion of databases on a site that runs stories on open source and databases.
And if a simple posting on a site stops you from using a product,well, you were never qualified to make such a decision in the first place.
PostgreSQL is a powerful, open source relational database system. It has more than 15 years of active development and a proven architecture that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, data integrity, and correctness. It runs on all major operating systems, including Linux, UNIX (AIX, BSD, HP-UX, SGI IRIX, Mac OS X, Solaris, SunOS, Tru64), BeOS, and Windows. It is fully ACID compliant, has full support for foreign keys, joins, views, triggers, and stored procedures (in multiple languages). It includes most SQL92 and SQL99 data types, including INTEGER, NUMERIC, BOOLEAN, CHAR, VARCHAR, DATE, INTERVAL, and TIMESTAMP. It also supports storage of binary large objects, including pictures, sounds, or video. It has native programming interfaces for C/C++, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl, ODBC, among others, and exceptional documentation.
An enterprise class database, PostgreSQL boasts sophisticated features such as the Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MVCC), point in time recovery, tablespaces, asynchronous replication, nested transactions (savepoints), online/hot backups, a sophisticated query planner/optimizer, and write ahead log for fault tolerance. It supports international character sets, multibyte character encodings, Unicode, and in is locale-aware for sorting, case-sensitivity, and formatting. It is highly scalable both in sheer quantity of data it can manage and and in the number of concurrent users it can accommodate. There are active PostgreSQL systems in production environments that manage in excess of 4 terabytes of data. Some general PostgreSQL limits are included in the table below. Limit Value Maximum Database Size Unlimited Maximum Table Size 32 TB Maximum Row Size 1.6 TB Maximum Field Size 1 GB Maximum Rows per Table Unlimited Maximum Columns per Table 250 - 1600 depending on column types Maximum Indexes per Table Unlimited
PostgreSQL has won praise from it's users and industry recognition, including the Linux New Media Award for Best Database System and three time winner of the The Linux Journal Editors' Choice Award for best DBMS. Featureful and Standards Compliant
PostgreSQL prides itself in standards compliance. Its SQL implementation strongly conforms to the ANSI-SQL 92/99 standards. It has full support for subqueries (including subselects in the FROM clause), read-committed and serializable transaction isolation levels. And while PostgreSQL has a fully relational system catalog which itself supports multiple schemas per database, its catalog is also accessible through the Information Schema as defined in the SQL standard.
Data integrity features include (compound) primary keys, foreign keys with restricting and cascading updates/deletes, check constraints, unique constraints, and not null constraints, all of which are deferrable.
It also has a host of extensions and advanced features. Among the conveniences are auto-increment columns through sequences, and LIMIT/OFFSET allowing the return of partial result sets. PostgreSQL supports compound, unique, partial, and functional indexes which can use any of its B-tree, R-tree, hash, or GiST storage methods.
GiST (Generalized Search Tree) indexing is an advanced system which brings together a wide array of different sorting and searching algorithms including B-tree, B+-tree, R-tree, partial sum trees, ranked B+-trees and many others. It also provides an interface which allows both the creation of custom data types as well as extensible query methods with which to search them. Thus, GiST offers the flexibility to specify what you store, how you store it, and the ability to define new ways to search through it --- ways that far exceed those offered by standard B-tree, R-tree and other generalized search algorithms.
GiST serves as a foundation for many public projects that use PostgreSQL such as OpenFTS and PostG
