"The first thing we do is kill all the lawyers." Henry VI
Contrary to popular belief, the proposal was not designed to restore sanity to commercial life. Rather, it was intended to eliminate those who might stand in the way of a contemplated revolution -- thus underscoring the important role that lawyers can play in society.

"Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart, he dreams himself your master."
Who said this? I know the quote comes from SMAC, but who originally said this?
Infertility is not CAUSED by overpopulation. Infertiity is caused by genetic variations during the process of reproduction.
The greater the population, the more often you will see Infertility.
Look at it this way: If 1 percent of people in a population are infertile, and there are 100 people in the population there will be one infertile person. If there are 1000 people in the population, there will be 10 infertile people.
The fact that the number of infertile people rose with the population does not mean that infertility is caused by a rise in population.
People are not infertile because they are bad. They are not infertile beacuse God hates them. They are not infertile becase of overpopulation.
They are infertile because a small number of the many possible life producing combinations of sperm and egg are infertile.
It is the fault of no one that some people get dealt a bad hand of genes. If we can use gene therapy to improve the quality of the lives of the infertile, then we should do it.
Here's an intersting fact about the population of the planet (I read it on the internet - it must be true). If you take every person on the Earth. Every Living soul. Give each family a house with a small yard. You could pack them all into the state of Texas. I'm not saying that this is a good idea, just that you could do it.
P.S. It really doesn't help your arguemnt to claim that people that support your eugenicistic opinions have Common Sence and Intuition, and those that do not are meerly selfish people incapable of seeing the 'Big Picture'. In fact, it just makes you look arrogant.

I remember the first program I 'managed'. The project consisted of me and one half time C++ programmer.
It was the first time either of us had worked in Visual C++ and we were both experiencing the 'joy' that is the MS STL implementation.
It was during a code review with the prime contractor and the government customer that I noticed the following comment in front of a commented out block of code.
/* This should work like this, but it doesn't because the FUCKING MICRO$OFT MORONS can't write a proper STL */
So that is how the binary can run, but the source code not be ready.
After that I proofed all code BEFORE it left the building.
A lot of our customer's are in Canada's Bible Belt (Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Mission -- British Columbia), and let me tell you: you haven't heard moral outrage until you've heard an offended Xtian mother complain about receiving Hot Slippery Teens in her mailbox...
I had to think about this for a while. I can imagine why they'd be hot, being crammed in the mailbox and all. But the slipery part had me confused until I realized that they would have to be slippery to fit through the mail slot.
Personally, I would think that the Xtian Mother would me more concerned about the teens that the postman couldn't fit through the slot (because they weren't slippery) and were piled up outside the box. I mean SHEESH, it's Canada, they're probably freezing!
Javascript: an object oriented language interpreted by most browsers. It allows for client side dynamic html.
Java: an object oriented language that is compiled into an Applet which is downloaded to your browser and executed on a virtual machine. Because it is precompiled into an Applet, it is much faster than Javascript (after it's downloaded).
In general JavaScript allows you to dynamically manipulate the HTML on a page.
Java Applets allows you do things outside the scope of HMTL (like image manipulation or word processing).
Javascript and Java came out at about the same time, but the two really had nothing to do with each other. In fact, JavaScript was originally called LiveScript, but was renamed to capitalize on the Java name.
> steam-ships gave way to locomotives
I think you misspelled 'locomotives' its actually spelled 'airplanes'
Either that or you misspelled 'steam-ships' you may have meant to spell it 'canal-boats'
WOW! My Jack-Assedness astounds even me!!!
