It would help if someone could think of an example of actually knowing someone is driving versus was driving a minute beforehand but had been smart enough to pull over and stop.
Every woman I've asked about high heels has said they wear them *despite* the discomfort precisely because of the effect they have on the way men behave towards them.
A hundred years ago, with very rare exceptions, a woman's career was her marriage. The man was expected to participate in the money economy, and provide for her retirement, while the woman engaged in arguably harder and more important work (raising children) that happened to not be part of the money economy.
That, however, was a hundred years ago. Both sexes have to adapt to contemporary realities. It's both a systemic issue of opportunities (which both men and women are responsible for) and initiative on the part of the women to pursue certain careers.
Except everyone has a different idea of a just distribution of wealth.
Why are jobs with the lowest skills that are already overpaid the most likely to unionize? Why has no union ever dissolved itself after achieving its objective?
Their function is to *look* like they are tracking down actual enemies to national security while they really track down ordinary criminals, political opposition, and economic competitors in so-called allied nations.
Creating just a little bit of doubt in the public, without actually compromising their theoretical secrecy, accomplishes that.
America's over-reaction to 9/11 and the terrorism "threat" in general is doing far, far more damage than any terrorist could directly do in their wildest dreams.
It's even worse. This was what bin Laden wanted all along. He achieved complete strategic victory with the Americans doing almost all the work.
Your relationship with your employer is a business relationship. Don't make it personal.
Also there's a lot of satisfaction in later looking back and saying you were the better person and the better professional.
Plus, resolving all the loose ends and ensuring things are ready for your replacement makes for a good story in an interview situation.
Of course, if notice isn't possible under the circumstances, then just accept it's not possible, but otherwise act like the professional you want your next employer to see you as.
Roman values worked fine at first. After the subjugation of Carthage after the Second Punic War (or Germany/Japan after the Second World War) there was so much wealth in the hands of so few that values didn't count so much.

If the alternative is having no job and living in desperate poverty, one of the "jobs that are replaceable by machines" will look pretty good.
We already figured out it wasn't because people were being smart and rational.
Yes.
Let the class-action lawsuits begin!

Microsoft does things like this because they can.
Or at least they think they can.
But because they're insecure, they need to *actually* do the self-destructive behaviour in order to prove to the world that they can.
Yes. The Internet already does 90% of what a realtor does.
Blame is not all or nothing.

You have a bias against left-handed drive countries (of which there are many)?
Except that altruism is not logical.
Altruism by an individual is not logical.
Altruism within a group is an extremely successful survival strategy.
A 2000+ year old book (older, in some cases) fraudulently constructed by ignorant, illiterate peasant halfwits
It was constructed for ignorant peasants by people who knew it was all metaphorical.
"Dodging" tax laws has a negative connotation.
It's also exactly what they were trying to do.
There are Wall Street traders that are unethical?

Not merely convenient, but prevents a host of mental health disorders!
Insecure dictators have a history of making sure there's no-one available to replace them, as part of their strategy to avoid being replaced.

The civil service is officially French. The province itself is officially bilingual.
Earnings potential is a crude and incomplete measure.
But until a better measure is found it makes sense to use it.
I'm going to say that he was screwed up before ever entering the military;
I'm going to say that being illegally tortured was a factor.

FTFY.
