1) So once someone contracts an expensive illness they are "a drain on the system" and they should die. I'll tell my grandfather that; No, better I'll put him on an iceberg and push him off into the sea. That's how the Inuit used to handle 'a drain on the system'.
2) What is this public system to fall back on for a last resort? I guess you are not in The USA because we have no system of last resort here. You get sick, you go bankrupt, then you die. That's how our politicians want it, that's how we want it, and that's how God wants it.
Say, that is interesting. I find it fascinating that someone can write Propenso Calc (tm) and that the public can find Propenso Calc (tm) in an online store, and can buy Propenso Calc (tm) (special half-off deal today only!) and can solve lots of interesting problems with Propenso Calc (tm). I don't know if there was any other time in history when Propenso Calc (tm) could have done as well as Propenso Calc (tm) has done.
No she didn't. She raised flaws that are directly opposed to the TSA revenue model. The TSA gets no benefit from operating well. It gets funded by lobbying and generating fear.
This would go a long way towards fixing the whole mess we are in. I currently have a high deductible medical insurance plan ($6,000 deductible) and a Health Savings Account. My premiums SAVE ME MORE THAN $6,000 in a year over a traditional plan, so in essence I can't lose.I've become a very careful consumer of health care and bargain down the price of all of my health care (as much as possible). I am forced to understand what is being recommended and I take a very active role in choosing what will be done.
I guarantee you the lawyers were bored with this case about 30 minutes after it began. I know a lot of lawyers. I don't know any that enjoy anything about what they do besides the money, which to be fair is fantastic.
They could hire some Monsanto lawyers as consultants. "Our vaccine has accidentally blown into Mr. Smith's bloodstream. We require Mr. Smith to pay licensing fees or return all of his blood to us."
It is this foreshadowing that is the key to the point of the book. Ender is not in a regular "school". Ender is in military training with other children selected for their brilliance and potential ability to save the Earth in their war against the enemy. They are manipulating the children on purpose, looking for one that can excel at military strategy and find new insights in ways to kill the enemy. I won't spoil the ending for those that haven't read it, but they have been manipulating Ender and the others from the beginning and a few dead children along the way wouldn't be a problem if it wins the war.
No, as soon as some rich guy gets banned congress will force an exemption for members of congress and it will be business as usual for us plebes. Like the exemption for insider trading congress granted itself.
My mini-CD business cards contain a set of malware that install root-kits as soon as they are inserted into your computer. They've worked out really well for me; Paid for a skiing trip to Aspen.
And if the top 1% holds 2% of the wealth, which means they hold double their proportional share, I will be satisfied. But when the top 1% hold 40% of the wealth (and thus the power), we have a problem.

Well, don't blame me. I voted for Kodos.

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

I often think 'She totally wants me', and find that it was just an eye twitch, a sneeze, or Bell's Palsy that I misinterpreted.
Ah, finally we can have one port to rule them all! It's about time.
I think this is appropriate.

Hope you like the cold.

Screw that, I'm breeding my own personal army.
This!

But if you didn't have an FBI file, does requesting your FBI file cause them to open an FBI file on you?

The higher estimate of $1.5 billion is contingent on using Monster Cables.

Speaking of double-think, #25 is a doozy of double-think considering which book it comes from.
No, because they will have time to have kids before they die, therefore it will not be evolved out of the population.
Don't be in such a rush to fix things when you are wrong.
10 (binary) = 1*2^1 + 0*2^0 = 2. Two.
There are TWO (2) kinds of people in the world.
10 (ternary or trinary) = 1*3^1 + 0*3^0 = 3. Three.
You can, you know, have sex with an awesome interesting woman instead.
No, there are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand binary and those that don't.
