The Tea Party has been trying to defund the TSA for several years now. And is probably it's #1 opponent. Have you heard of Senator Rand Paul???????????
I am pretty much for a $100 billion dollar fine. Those stupid credit reporting agencies are bane to American's. So if they're going to cause actual illegal harm. They might as well be nailed to the wall. They sure nail us....
I started with cable internet at $40 a month. They went to raise it to like $68. Just for internet. Comcast started charging a $18 fee for not have cable TV, granted the basic cable was $21/month.
It got to the point where for another $20 on a promotion I got cable TV+HBO (for Game of Thrones).
Seriously, I don't even get BBC. Since Doctor Who went big, they moved that up to the upper echelons of plans. I want 5 channels. That's about it.
REALLY.....sorry....yes, we have a chance of complete extinction within 20 years. But it's more likely due to us missing that big ol' rock headed toward earth *ka-BOOM*
Because top notch leaves require not just cold, but a quick change. And some of the best leaves I saw were around those 1998-2003 hottest ever periods.
You do realize that humans have survived far warmer and far colder weather. And honestly, we usually do better in the warmer. Less deserts in warmer climate periods too.
We are pointing out one of many predictions that have failed on the part of AGW. In fact, AGW has an extremely poor track record on predictions.
Second, we're not the one who keeps writing articles about every variance of weather as a sign of global warming. Record hot, record cold, record rain, record snow, record temperate mild temperature with perfect rain and a smattering of snow = proof GLOBAL WARMING
We just wish you dumb !@#$% would live by what you preach. Every time you guys say weather != climate, I sit there *facepalming* and exclaiming "That's what we've been trying to prove to almost every author of these dumb articles."
And that's why those potatoes are flavorless and nutritionless. That's why Americans are so obese. Because our food is so nutrient deprived. Your body knows it needs the micronutrients. And you wind up eating 4 slices of bread to get them. Eat two monocropped nutrient starved potatoe OR eat one naturally rotated potato = same nutrients. Except the first is twice the carbs. And the latter tastes much better.
That is not crop rotation. That is a mere 3 varietis mostly grown corn, soy and (alfalfa/wheat secondaries). That is not crop rotation. That is merely doing a bean to affix nitrogren or not much would grow.
That is not a sufficient crop variety to ensure that nutrient depletion or toxic build up doesn't occur.
The midwest has never suffered from floods and dustbowls before in modern history.
*yawns*
Honestly, the poor agricultural techniques practiced are probably more to blame than anything else. Corn, Soy, Corn, Soy, Corn, Soy, oh and Alfalfa on occasion.
Miles of mono-crop with poorly tended farm soil and bad farming practices. There is a reason the dustbowl happened. And no, we didn't change ANYTHING except discover a deep underwater aquifer.
"The rest of the world looks at the US stance on this and shakes their heads. But, hey, if America wants to be known as heartless bastards where life is cheap, that's your choice."
And those like me, keep saying "Why are we policing the world. We could take that $1 trillion dollars a year and use it at home. And let all those countries with small military defense expenditure and nice health care programs face funding their own defense."
The issue is that we often are spending exhorbitant amounts of $$$ not to save a life, but to prolong its existence in a cold sterile hospital room when we know the end outcome is death. That is not a judicious use of $$$. I am all for spending $$$ to save a life, I am not for spending $$$ to merely push death a few weeks or a few months back.
We need to be a bit more honest... (and I'm not the only one saying this, so are many doctors and nurses)
As one married to a nurse, who was involved in programs to help those poor and needy. They would actually do house care, and half the time they wouldn't even be home for their appointments.
Do you know how much it would cost you or I to have a nurse or doctor show up to our home to provide care?
Um, why would the U.S. dollar lose its status as the reserve currency? Because of the debt and the fear that said debt won't be repaid, without devaluing the currency.
Hence, while I agree with your argument. It is merely an off shoot from the main root - debt.
Oh, no I am in full agreement. Republicans spend exhorbitant amounts. The Tea Partiers being the small vocal exception saying we need to stop earning $50,000 a year and putting $25,000 more on a credit cards.

And my understanding is that is packaged with Disney. So they have to get them all together at about $15.
Everyone has been paying exhorbitant fees $$$$$$$$ to subsidize those who watch sports.
Cable TV would be much more economical if we us nerds didn't have to pay for sports.

Thank you.

Actually, I'd wager we're growing more food per acre farmed than ever before. Oh, plants love CO2. It's why greenhouses often add it.
Maybe...just maybe...it's cause so-called experts have so often been WRONG!!!
Hey dumb !@#$

Plus a large part of it is to let the ruminant animals feed on the fallow ground. Thus pouring their manure into it.

And the Soviets would have collapsed without the aid, materials, manufacturing, etc. that the U.S. was also sending them.

Seems like a brilliant strategy to me.

"Well, yes....but it's unlikely to help." - Doctor
"Do it...."
$150,000 later, life was extended an extra week.

No, but having had insurance for most of my life. I've seldom been giving routine testings either.
