Sell your stock when the fiscal year starts, transfer it to a country that taxes you based in residency, live there less time than the requireed to become taxable (normally six months) then live somewhere else during the fiscal year.
Once you are done move back home.
This should not cost you too much, perhaps one year in current wages, and if organized correctly even less (you could work while abroad).
You are quite brutal sir, stramen als have feelings.
Responsible Greens in general do not want you stop using your car. But surely most people and soccer mums don't need inneficient gas guzzlers that can hardly move but burn fossil fuels like there is no tomorrow (who knows, thanks to this people maybe there is not) and that transpport most of the time one person.
As for not buying in Walmart or your freedom of speech, frankly you can not be serious.
.... is that people that decide, by means of their informed free will, to become USians, are not to be trusted, because the could be hiding malevolous intents.
When are you going to move forward to the XXI century where global travel is a fact of life and borders are becomming more and more porous?
Always pretending to hate Europe when in reality are envious for lacking the style, panache and free thinking that has shaped most of humanity (for good or worst).
The furry creatures were taken to Australia and the destroyed many crops and became a real plague (because the unintended consequences of taking an species and dropping it without warning somewhere else is a dangerous exercise).
If we can't foresee what a creature we think we know can do the the environment, what qualifies us to understand the complexities of letting genetically modified organisms out in the wild?
We are playing with fire, and we need a moratory until we find a safe harbour where to run if things get out of control (Mars?) or simply discard the technology as to dangerous to be used safely.
You can use natural methods to control plagues. Chemical pesticides are not needed.
We don't need GM food because we don't understand how they will influence the environment and right now, without them in most of the world, we could manage to feed everybody.
You make it appear like without GM technology we would starve, when in reality many countries have been self suficient for donkey years without GM patented nonsense.
Which could be eye-candied, but making the clear point that IE is a different product and that you have to make a decission to install it (implying there may be other options).
For one simple reason: they are not prepared to drop the fundmantal tenant of their belief system.
The carbon dating mention is such a piss poor excuse that begs disbelief. There are many other dating methods, including how fast your DNA changes. So for starters all the religious nuts (which is the more accurate description I can think of) that believe Earth and the Universe is a few thousend years old can go and fuck themsleves.
Your alleged discrepancies in the geological record my friend funnily enough don't match up with the science that geologists and geophyscists use in a day to day basis to extract oil and gas for your perusal. It is that same science which is used in paleontology. But of course no religious nut questions it when it delivers the gas for their SUVs.
Speciation has been widely explained . Not by Darwin, but it is not our fault if you are trying to fight a 19th century scientist while ignoring the progress of the following 140 years.
Science is helping our lives become better, religion tried for thousend of years and achieved precious little in providing equality and comfort for the common person. Hopefully one day religion will be consigned to the history books, and althoug certainly there is a political agenda in how many scientists promote scientific knowledge, the religious nuts also have theor own agenda, thus it is perfeclty legitimate to fight them blow by blow until they stop perpetuating the ignorance that stop many people being free and masters of their own destiny.
-How do you observe anything in the past wise guy? I could say the same thing about your wacko beliefs about a superior being.
-The big bang is testable. Check Doppler effect, red shift, cosmic microwave background.
-Although the big bang is not repeatable (trus me on this one buddy), the conditions that existed during the big bang may one day be replicated in very small scale.
As for evolution by means of natural selection:
-It is observable. Check the history of the HIV virus. For goodness sake, check the history of dog or cow breeds. Scientists use mutation rate in a daily basis when dealing with bacteria. As for all the fossils, well, honestly, what else do you want?
-Evolution is testable, there are multiple examples of how human interaction changes species. And see above as well.
- See first point.
Honestly, don't make a fool of yourslef, it is not a pretty sight.
Unless Sagan would have turned around 180 degress politically, it is pretty easy to see where he would have been in the political debate on this day.
He was an environmentalist (Bush is not), pacifist (Bush is not), internationalist (which Bush is not), atheist (no comment regarding Bush), pro choice, humanist scientist.
The man can speak for himself on his many writings, we don't need to presume anything since all is in balck on white for posterity.
He delves into the consequences of green house gases when studying the athmosphere of Venus. Sagan was involved in the first US probes to that planet and helped develop the theory that explains why green house gases like CO2 could leead to a raise in temperatures and even a runaway process in which the athmosphere becomes unfit for life.
That you consider that criticizing religious fundamentalism is not political, specially on these troubled times in which one religious fundmanetalist is chasing a group of religious murderous fundamentalists, begs disbelief.
If anything Sagan was a political visionary for warning us of the dangers of religious fundamentalism 30 years before it became an issue with global implications.
Sagan did not mention nuclear war in passing remarks, he devoted several minutes in one or two episodes of Cosmos explaining how technological societies had to survive the nuclear age if they would have any relatively long life.
He also includes the chance of a planetary society destroying itself as part of an equation to predict the number of technological societies existing in our galaxy. To say that he mentioned this problem only peripherically is most puzzling.

You just need timing.

Did not have Internet.
Enough said.
I mean, most democracies use direct popular vote.
It works out of the box.
No, honest.
A bit of iptables, a superior and safer web browser, intelligent email clients.
I stopped worrying about viruses and being owned some time ago.
ANybody could claim such a thing.
If your lawyers do not demand to know what is that you are violating then they seem to be pretty incompetent to me.
You are quite brutal sir, stramen als have feelings.

Remember rabbits?

Two words: US Supreme Court.
OK, they were more than two, but what the heck.
Show me one example of a nuclear plant that is not a money sink.
It is that simple.
In the meantime I have solar heating in my house (UK, that place with *cloudy* weather) and don't miss the gas guzzling system I had.

the MP3 patent will eventually expire.
In the meantime it is just fair to pay to people that for once innovated.
Or are you just illiterate?
Can you tell us:
-How many machines originally sold with Windows are used with a pirated version of Windows?
Most pirates I am pretty sure buy a computer, and decide to upgrade the OS.
They go crazy scared about the insane price and decide to do the easiest thing: pirate the damn thing.
It would be interesting if Gartner can come with statistics that show another side of the same issue.
THen why to create more redundant, quasi facist, legislation?
A chap in the UK detained under "anti-terrorism" laws was released a couple of weeks ago after 3 years of detention without trial or any due process.
To this date he does not know why he was detained.
Now, tell us again that we are not close to 1984 scenario.
If you are serious, you are a jerk.
If you are not, you are not funny.

Poor puppy.
That is to what religious nuts have been reduced, to call propaganda a solid body of knowledge.
Whay a sorry espectacle.
