Why not? The NEA is the biggest obstacle to improving education.
Rather than improving, the NEA and state teachers' unions keep asking for more money and smaller class sizes. But private schools with less money and larger classes get far better results.
The current bailouts would be impossible with gold coins.
It would have been hard for the Federal Reserve to make money out of thin air -- which got us into this mess in the first place.
Instead of government bailouts, we need the market to right itself. That cannot happen when the government throws money out troubled companies and industries that would fail or contract without intervention.
Just like the Great Depression, government is making a problem worse. Only this time, we don't produce many goods to sell to other countries. Uh oh!
The cost of continuing to avoid such foods, even when we understand the science and can prepare them safely is minimal.
There is a high cost of avoiding pork and shellfish. I find it nearly impossible to eat Cantonese food, since there is pork and/or shrimp in everything, even vegetable dishes. And 'meat' products in the US most often have pork in them. It's a pain to find pork-free sausages, pepperoni, etc.
We also don't fully 'understand the science'. In the future, when scientists find out how bad pork and shellfish are for human consumption, we will understand it better. Science has not gotten there yet. (And I don't expect the food products industry to help pay for any research that will end pork consumption.)

Hilarious!
Badmouthing the NEA wasn't a good idea.

Shh. I've been charging your friend for the air he breathes for years.

The US banking industry still has a lot of inane regulations.
In a truly free market, bad banks would fail and go under, and customers would move and insure their savings accordingly.
But most people in the US don't save anyway, so who really cares?

What? Microsoft has a commitment to security?
It looks like the next administration will be even bigger than the current one.
How can we stop the rampant growth of government?
We don't need to keep adding new secretaries and departments, czars, special offices, and other positions all the time.
I trust the people, businesses, schools, state and local governments, etc. can use technology just fine without a national CTO.
That reminds me of the time we were partying with John DeLorean. Good times.
I already saw that in a movie.

A place like Arizona also doesn't have any severe weather worth speaking about
Heard of the state capital, Phoenix? It is sweaty-balls hot for about half of the year. (And it can get pretty cold at night during winter months.)
If people can't comfortably walk outside, it is extreme weather.
Cats were feared, driven out of human habitations and killed en mass.
Maybe that is because cats cause schizophrenia.

Great! I learned that Knight-Ridder sucks.
But I still would rather read a real newspaper than read Valleywag ever again. (That was the first and last time.)
It doesn't take a rocket scientist. . .
Oh wait. Maybe it does.
Next time get a rocket scientist who understands that we want to minimise weight.

That is one case where DNA evidence might make a difference.
But there are many ways that DNA is found at a crime scene and assumed to be from the perpetrator(s). And it is misleading.
He smuggled LSD aboard Apollo 14?
How can the police know that any given sample of DNA is tied to a specific crime?
Just finding blood samples at the scene of a crime does not mean that the blood was spilled by the victim (or the perpetrator).
Nope.
