Cause this is the kind of market regulation the US needs, and not single-payer health care. At least these kinds of people are consistent on killing. Killing progress, and people, all while making a killing.
Okay, who wants to explain to me how a 10% reduction in pig production ends up doubling the price? Also, my bacon from the food co-op will remain the exact same price until demand gets so crazy that each pig is worth about as much as a Ferrari.
Wery well! I stand corrected. Makes me wonder why I thought what I did though, and I how I found the information that I did. A MYSTERY FOR ANOTHER DAY.
Yeah, cause the US allows you to hold dual-citizenship in a nation you weren't born in/claimed before you turned 18. Wait... The other thing. Or is that only a rule for poor people?
Tolkien is good for kids, though by eight years old he may already be spoiled by television's constant action to thoroughly enjoy his works. Then again, the hobbit has songs and quite a bit of mostly family friendly action so thats still a good choice. I read Jurassic Park in first grade, but it took me all year and I was obscenely obsessed with dinosaurs, so I may already have been where you want your son to be. I would also suggest books by Terry Pratchett -- namely The Wee Free Men, which is a great story from a child's point of view, is hilarious to read (even for you) and has two sequels that are very much in the same vein. The books are easily readable, and reasonably quick. (200 some pages)
I know it doesn't vanish, but it can be relocated -- there's no promise that water taken from one area will be released in such a way that it rejoins the natural flow -- it could easily be locked up in some form, whether that be sewage or storage, or simply bottled and sent elsewhere. Depending on the water's use by whatever desert society is using it, it may never be released back into the system. Unlikely to have a major effect, I know, but I don't think anybody makes the argument that dams don't have an impact on how water flows in an environment. To me, that's what this is. A wind dam. Small now, but...
Maybe this is the paranoid eco-terrorist hippy in me, but I wonder what kind of affect these things would have in already arid desert environments. I imagine that a field of a thousand of these things could seriously affect the local ecosystem, and perhaps the weather in neighboring areas.
Though this would be good for Arrakis. Maybe Mars too actually. Now wouldn't that be something. Wouldn't even need to land near the poles to get a little H2O.
Was it obvious and also STRANGE to anyone else that the video was randomly narrated by a robot british lady?
I'm impressed because its solid voice work, from a machine. But you can still tell it wasn't a person.

If there's not, then Mars will at least have hos. Which is all the more reason to get us there now.
No argument to small time use -- everything works great when there's not a lot of it. Especially people.
