This is because the rest of the world has outsourced defense to the US for all the manufacturing jobs.
If your analysis doesn't take the global view, I feel that it's preliminary.
I would like to buy your line of reasoning, but you say nothing about the economic effect on the bigger countries about the GNP drain of the Polish plumbers sending the cash home.
Lack of a fully rounded argument makes the post as a whole rather suspect.
You're supposed to use Visual Studio Tools for Applications (VSTA).
Seems to remind me of some other smash hit from Redmond...Bob? Millenium Edition? DOS? What was that thing...
Oh, just "Nanny State Server" will do.
People seem relaxed about the bread, circuses, and state-run services.
Yet when the logical law-enforcement applications of state control come along, up go the hackles, revealing velveteen shackles, while the bureaucratic overlord quietly cackles.
I happen to believe that he is right that the economy is going to tank and we're in for a rough ride ahead.
Even the biggest alcoholics sometimes suffer a hangover.
No one is seriously pursuing a disengagement from the materialist society that has to waste thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours on stuff like the Super Bowl.
What alternative gospel do you have to "eat, drink and be merry"?
So there is a bit of an economic hangover (particularly if you pay attention to the media and its overlords). Once our shiny new presidential overlord is enshrined, won't they be telling us how much better everything is?
"Abolish" is not in the realm of the possible.
Now, one could start an education campaign to build popular support for weening ourselves off the federal nanny-state opium. Say that around 2020, all of the services where the federal government knows too much about individual citizens (SSA, IRS, Medi-x) are completely delegated to the states, and they have between now and then to absorb the records, arrange for staffing, and implement the policies.
Of course, such a net increase in civic responsibility would be a system shock to the lumpen proletariat, who would call you Moses and ask why you dragged them off the couch and away from the Wii to die in the desert of details, and couldn't they just go back to their metaphorical Egypt?
More seriously, you can't just flip a switch and disenfranchise those who've been honestly playing along these decades--this is two wrongs not achieving righteousness. There really has to be a transition plan, and one skillful salesperson to convince the bulk of the people.
If Ron Paul is such a racist, where are Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton and all of the other civil rights leaders who love national attention? How come all of the people throwing accusations at Ron Paul are white, tie wearing, political types?
Keeping their powder dry.
In the game-theoretical match being played out, RP only becomes valuable to the left if they can succeed in getting him the nomination.
If RP gets the nomination, stand by for Jesse and Al to come at you all ahead flank-3, main engines in battle-override.
Captialism can't, but stand by for his side-kick, Ad-Lad!

My personal opinion is that there is no conflict between Creation and the Bible.
Apparent conflicts arise when the interpretation of the truth of the Bible becomes excessively literal.
That said, I don't think Evolution is something in which you can have 'faith' in the same sense. It's a theory, and a moving target: if you don't like it, give it a month or two, and they'll be saying something else.
For me, the whole conversation is a bore. Evolutionary theories cannot be 'proven', either. Go in the lab with the periodic table of elements, and generate self-replicating life. Then I shall be quite impressed.
C has gravitated to a 'niche', system level stuff, situations where performance is more important than security (not everything is connected to the internet, impressions to the contrary). And - surprise - 30 years ago we were living in a different world security wise.
That is certainly a great trope, except that there are whole systems, such as the Gnome desktop, that are coded in C. You might well argue that GTK+ is almost a separate dialect, by the time you absorb the GObject system, but that really drives home my real point: It's really all information. Tool fetishism is a bore.
The real question to be asked is: how heavy of a run-time do I really want? The minimalist wrapper you have with C/C++, a medium-weight one as with a scripting language, or the 800lb gorilla of a JVM/CLR?
A Venn diagram of the choices would show _significant_ overlap.
Fair enough.
I think I would have said "argued in relatively unambiguous terms compared to faith".
admit that you just strung together a bunch of long words to give yourself an air of authority
Well, I certainly can't stop you from casting aspersions on my motives, but if you look at the whole post, one hopes that you'll see the attempt to draw a contrast between two concepts.
The concepts themselves are overloaded to the point that you can't effectively communicate an idea in a concise way.
Or, as you note, the mod points may indicate that there was some success in the endeavor.
Logic is something mostly objective, and provable in a mathematical sense.
Faith is subjective, mystical, and can have the appearance of utter hogwash to someone not participating therein.
The casual observer of one of my more meaningful experiences would have said: "Dude: you were parking the car".
Yet, at that time, in that context, I got a very deep message out of it.
The trick to peaceful existence is to keep a weather eye on the line of demarcation between faith an logic, and be respectful, if not accepting, of both sides.
And don't try to use elements of one to assail the other. Such is a quick trip to unhappy land.

Are you suggesting that Redmond use a tool whose original author is a Google employee?
Have this madman removed.

I hate the idea of the Fed managing individuals; financially, physically, sexually. Just say NO!

Oh, right, and the Democrats, collectively, are demonstrating such clear moral superiority...
Oh, indeed, will the sacred cow be butchered.

Remember to spell 'crisis' as 'business opportunity'.
I don't know what "pule" is, but we are about a score of IE versions away from seeing conformance with the new test:
