Um, well...it does. Hell, bacteria are life, and they're far below a zygot.
"But it's academic to talk about civil liberties if you don't talk about the true protection of all life. So if you're going to protect liberty, you've got to protect the life of the unborn just as well."
might I chime in with a reminder that one of the few tasks of.gov is to protect life & liberty (from harm/attack from other entitities).
So nothing so crazy there...
"do you really think that cutting the Dept. of Commerce won't affect the economy? That cutting the Dept. of Education along with Housing and Urban Development won't have detrimental effects five, ten years down the line? And there's no mention at all of cutting the Department of Defense, which would probably give you that trillion right there, as long as we're ignoring the ramifications."
Having experienced public education. I don't think cutting the dept would make much difference. One might even argue that since it's incorporation in 1979 that academic levels have declined in America.
Defense, why not. We're wasting trillions on equipment that doesn't have a purpose. While our troops could use better protective body armor and vehicles.
Commerce, that's another word for taxation, right?
Housing & Urban....experienced that nightmare. No thanks.
"*and as well he shouldn't; if life truly begins at conception, he's morally obligated to work to prohibit abortions. Too bad for him that it really doesn't."
Too bad you're uneducated. Oh, it's just part of the woman's body - right?
Did you know science 100% disproved that fact a few decades back.
Do a DNA test of the mother and the fetus. You won't get a match. So guess what, NOT PART OF THE MOTHER'S BODY.
If you want to call it a parasite, fine. Just admit your killing a parasitic human life.
And that goes for many of the/. comments on this topic.
Things to consider....
1. Many people want to see films, but the cost of two tickets, soft drink and a baby sitter starts to approach $100.
Why not consider day cares in these giant megaplexes. Just saying it'd be an interesting approach.
2. For the price of a pair of tickets you could own the Blu-Ray.
Wait...how much does it cost to make a DVD? Not much...
I'd love to see a movie company experiment with a theater to provide the movie on DVD with purchase of tickets. Or simpler, mail your receipt and ticket stubs and get $10 off your DVD.
Be creative. Realize Americans have less leisure time. Less money. And less happiness.
I've seen people try. They are almost always removed from ballots on technicalities (signatures not being in cursive, or not matching a 50 year old voter registration card, its crazy to run outside the establishment)
When I dump a gallon of water in a river, it has an affect.
But is it significant?
If I recal correctly, a recent volcano and fire basically emitted about 15 years of CO2 savings.
To me, that means if we had about a dozen eruptions all of our savings would be eradicated. I am then left wondering, are our CO2 emissions significant?
But how do we know this? What is the basis for compensation. A man's hypothesis....
Few of these things are really fully testable in a scientific way. And when so many have been compromised, it does leaving evaluation to be questioned.
Remember, we're talking about a degree difference in temperature. Than dismissing any variance from these numerous weather gauges in inappropriate locations.
Seriously, eliminating cars would not eliminate the problem. What about all those plastic bottles?
What about heat, manufacturing, etc.
All the removal of cars would do is extend things. As for SUVs, you do realize that some people need SUVs. If you need to carry more than 5 people your choice is mini-van or SUV. SUVs are safer, offer 4x4 for snow, etc.
FYI, my last V8 engine was more economical than the V6 option.
The problem is not size of cars. The different of 20mpg and 30mpg is nearly irrelevant in the big scheme of things. Even a 100mpg merely delays the inevitable.
But that's okay, just keep telling yourself that hating SUVs will make the world a better place.
Here is one of those old style word math problems:
"Smart Car, carries 2 people and gets 40mpg. My Durango Carried 8 people and got 20mpg. Which vehicle is more economical?"
Oh, yes, I know...those crazy soccer mom's driving an SUV by themselves. Mind you, that's because you usally see them after they've dropped all the kids off or before they picked them up. But many times those SUVs wind up being stuff with kids and soccer gear.
Actually, we point to the historians and geologists who taught us that things like the fact there were once zero glaciers on planet earth. But no man....hmmm...ya think.
"There is no evidence of glaciation at or near either pole; in fact, the polar regions were apparently moist and temperate, a climate suitable for reptile-like creatures." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triassic
So what is the predominant theory for temperatuer for that period? Continental structure...
Hmm, just wondering, does anyone know if our continents shifts might have reached a point where it is affecting Earth's air/water currents?
Just saying...
And no, computer models developed by people trying to prove their own theory is not an adequate representation.
Slashdot Mirror
Right, and he failed.
So maybe we should try someone new.
Watch this...
Since when did peace, non-aggressionn, free trade, open relations and non-expansionism become equated with isolationism.

*shudders*
How did you know my master was Jewish....???
*shhh*
Don't tell anyone, most people are not aware of the super-secret fact that Jesus was Jewish.
*shhh*
It's supposed to be a secret. Jesus is a Jew, who happening to be God's son, controls everything behind the scenes.
In a few years, Facebook might buy HP for $1.2 billion.
That a government acting against it's Constitution will have courts that uphold acting against it's Constitution.
Constitution is naught but a museum piece. We have ceased to recognize it by passing laws and court decisions that by-pass it entirely.
And that goes for many of the /. comments on this topic.

Work with us.
No, he has it half right. It'll come with a flag, waving a cross, and everything else.
Both parties have contributed to this.
You know, there was a candidate who wanted to end the wars. Close Gitmo & the TSA. Who felt the government shouldn't have any role in marriage.
That candidate does happen to be running in this election. And may in fact place 1st or 2nd in our first state election.
Just saying...
(And no, I don't agree with all his policies. But dammit, I so wish him upon Congress. Congress so deserves Ron Paul.)
TWA Flight 500
Still hotly debated. Eye witnesses claim seeing something fly up and hit the airline.
Then gov denied it saying they'd have found yellow residue from a solid rocket booster. Then they found yellow residue. That was dismissed.
No it can't. There is zero threat of a passenger liner being used as a missile ever again.
Americans won't allow. We know the option. We'll die to stop it. As was done on the 4th plane.
Do you know how hard that is?
I've seen people try. They are almost always removed from ballots on technicalities (signatures not being in cursive, or not matching a 50 year old voter registration card, its crazy to run outside the establishment)
Hey leave me be to relish in my insignificance. I'm a IT contractor, by definition I'm insignificant.
Just out of curiosity....
If we did ever discover a living dinosaur. What would that say about our science?
And would McDonald's bring back Dino-Size meals. I want a large fry and a Dino-Sized burger!
I thought that just existed so I could do lens flare affects on my photos?????

The above proves that the above above was in deed correct.

Yes, but if you read it quickly, than catch it. It's quite fun.
Besides, everyone knows Anonymous Cowards have no sense of humor. :-P
Actually, we came up with a lot of questions that were never answered very well. Like why were both Mars and Pluto exhibiting signs of global warming.
Seriously, two solar powered Mars rovers can't be causing that much pollution on Mars.
But how do we know this? What is the basis for compensation. A man's hypothesis....

Hi Moron,

No, 15,000 people decided to just randomly die at the same time for no apparent reason.
It just happened to correspond with a huge heat wave. There was zero correlation.
Next question...
50 years in a 4.5 billion year history.
That's like comparing . to all of /.
Gee, I sure remember it talked about at lot in elementary school.
