When a group of people say, "massively open X will threaten Y freedom!"... what they are really saying is, "massively open X will actually increase Y freedom, but it will also threaten our pleasantly feathered nests!"
Unfortunately death is also pretty effective at getting rid of people who are just in the vicinity of young assholes (when those young assholes happen to be fond of guns, knives, alcohol, cars, trucks)
Wasn't aware there was any controversy about this. I always thought it was believed to be a meteor or comet.
Of course, I underestimated the power of human imagination. I shouldn't be surprised that some people out there thought it was OMG ALIENS or maybe a strange dark matter bomb placed by the Romulans.
After all, if there's a needlessly complicated, idiotic rationale for how the Pyramids have straight walls, there must be one for a giant explosion in Siberia.
I have news for you. They already do.
Watch anyone try to walk or eat dinner without constantly consulting their smartphone. They have us trained well.
Unfortunately, sometimes they train us to walk into walls or off of sidewalks into oncoming traffic, so it might not be a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship...
So therefore... no state can own any land on Earth? Or is it just the "Guinness World Record" pieces of land that are that should be exempt from governmental and legal control? Would that include the highest waterfall? What about the widest? What about the second-deepest lake or the biggest ocean?
And who decides whether something (non-human-created) is of "worldwide" importance?
Good thing there are no legitimate divers, hobbyists or home builders in Florida. It would be a shame if this brilliant plan accidentally snagged one or two thousand false leads and innocent citizens.
Yeah, actually there are a lot of similarities. Both are super-Christian, both have temperate humid climates, and both nurse old failed civil wars as grievances and matters of honor. And they are both fond of guns. And both speak dialects that are often incomprehensible to outsiders.
Having been born in the USA Georgia and travelled extensively in the Asian Georgia, I can vouch for all of these fun factoids:)
You can, however, tell them apart by the fact that Republic-of-Georgia citizens, despite their history of Soviet mismanagement, are much better educated in general than our American ones. Also, their mountains are higher, and their brand of Christianity has more robes and incense.
Fun Fact: In Georgian, the most common usages are reversed. "Deda" means mother, and "Mama" means father.
Not quite as confusing as those cultures that nod for "no" and shake their head for "yes," but pretty close.

As long as government has no power to keep the frontier CLOSED, free enterprise will have as much of a chance as anyone else to OPEN it.
I don't want to associate "icy plumes" with Uranus... or anybody's.
I thought 14 was the age of consent in Spain. Juanita... come in here. I have to ask you something...
Pretty much describes Superman from his first appearance. Not a whole lot of character complexity there to dig out.

They're just like onions. Layers, layers, layers.

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!! Oh, fine, I know we're talking robots, not genetically augmented humans, but I had to scream it.
Stun guns don't kill people, people kill people!

That's pretty rich, maybe the USDA should start calling themselves the "Scientific Ungulate Research Foundation for Science"

This news is nothing to sneeze at. Seriously, no matter how much you turn your noses up at it. I think it's just a drop in the bucket.

It's the ruins of the Great Wall of Mars. I always heard it could be seen from space...
I want to drones to take out the vuvuzela-players first. Then they can deliver my beer.
