Yes, societies stratify, but hardly anyone in the developed world dies of dysentery anymore. I have central air-conditioning and central heat. I can talk to people on all seven continents instantly. Not too many years ago those would all be science fiction.
Some people are really getting hosed compared to others, but they've probably got indoor plumbing. The world is a better place for almost everyone.
Yes, you can turn off the TV and read a book. I'm actually quite fond of it.
This is quite similar to the Microsoft antitrust case where Microsoft was using the popularity of Windows to push people towards IE.
No one needs a computer and if they have one they don't need Windows, but a large number of people still use IE.
I just wish that HBO would take my money so I could watch Game of Thrones without having to jump up a tier to get the option. I already have too many ESPNs as it is.
You could make the argument that the big media companies are using monopoly powers to force people to buy products that they don't want. That should probably fall under current legislation, though.
I went to the courthouse over lunch a week ago wrote my drivers license number on a form and got out in about 10 minutes. It took so long because the lady at the desk had to get my form from the back room.
Unions are also incapable of supporting performance-based rewards and promotion In what way? Unions are governed by their bylaws and pay is determined by the contract with the employer. There's no reason that either of those must forbid performance based incentives.
Unless you look at a book as a turning point in your life. For me it was The Silver Chair (I didn't know that you were supposed to read them in order.) Before that I was getting bored with Hatchet and probably about to quit reading. It was my first fantasy novel and it opened up a whole new genre of books that have kept me reading the rest of my life.
All of those seem like reasonable things to question, but I think most people realize that "limited government" is code for eliminate the FDA, EPA, Social Security, Medicare, and food stamps.

Corporate inertia.
We'll probably just shoot each other. It's much faster.
Exactly, think less Jetsons more Player Piano.

Sure, but I could probably still get the 5 channels I want for less than I spend on the 300 I never watch.
It's the content providers (Viacom et al.) that are the real targets here. The cable companies are being pushed around almost as much at the consumer.

Dinosaur Comics too.
Hot pursuit may apply in this case.
I have to agree. Average is probably one of the more useful and easy to use functions in Excel.
Of course, Hot Grits was completely discredited with the introduction of the Portman Petrification hypothesis.
The constitution has changed many times. All by people who questioned it. There's nothing unpatriotic about wanting to make our country better.
It's worth noting that while 22 children were attacked, none of them were killed.
So can a $50 BluRay player.
If we were to get the Democrats back in the majority, though, these guys wouldn't be the chairmen.

I actually have it hanging in my cube.
Yes, they're going to deliver them for free.
Depending on how bad his arthritis is, you could take over the wiring and he could start writing the code.
Or vagina.

Why would that matter? "Gee officer, that car was really expensive so I thought I'd just steal it and threaten the owner with a lawsuit for libel."
