However, Johnson felt it was important for national continuity to do it anyway.

Ooooh! I wonder how it does for repetitive, gentle but firm motions?
Come on, politicians! It's clear Microsoft is abusing it's privleged place in the market to sustain huge losses year after year to build market share -- something smaller corporations cannot afford to do!
This is unfair, and they should be stopped.
Some brave politician should order the stop of the X-Box series of games given it's unfair advantages over the competition.*
* Before you knee-jerks start downmodding as "outfuckingrageous", realize this type of thought process was largely killed off by the Reagan revolution. It is realistic for its time, which is to say, pre-1980's, is not an exaggeration, and can be resurrected if the next generation lets its guard down.
Before you all jump on the awesome! bandwagon, just keep in mind:
1. It ain't free. It's paid for via taxes. What is the per-person cost?
2. Is competition allowed? What if someone wants better service?
3. What if there's censorship -- without competition, it's harder to get around it.
4. They're buying equipment to do this from more capitalistic endeavours that built this machinery in the first place. Were everyone to rely on what the government (or a government-approved legal monopoly like AT&T used to be) around the whole world, the Indian subcontinent would decidedly not be doing this now, and would have no capacity to do so whatsoever.
Sounds interesting. I wish to learn more about the physics of this "word" coming from His mouth, and how it goes about causing the metaphysical stability of instantiated reality.
Yes, but did they take the next step to completely scrap reality, as Einstein saw it, and wonder if the world was instantiated upon simulation hardware with limited abilities?

I once went on a tirade in the City of Heroes boards, trying to convince people to stop "crusing the city".
It seems that when you go around the city, you see things like muggings in progress all the time. You, the hero, are supposed to stop it, but rarely do unless it's in your xp range -- and even then you blow by it if you're on your way somewhere else.
But it's obvious the mugging wouldn't have occured if you (or some other PC) was in the immediate vicinity. By going out to save people from muggings, you are creating the very muggings you seek to prevent! Stop it! Stay inside and the total muggings will stay very low! No buildings being torched by gangs! No walking pumpkin heads terrorizing people!
I also posted a treatsie on the old EverQuest boards, before they were shut down to anything but technical problems, due to complaints, regarding the theory of the "Speed of Zoning". With/tell, you could telepathically talk to people on the other side of the world. Yet clearly it took a finite amount of time to zone to the next area, to say nothing of multiple zones to get there. Even a wizard teleport took one zone time. How could this faster-than-zone-time principle be violated by a message? NOT POSSIBLE!
God did it? What made God? And what made whatever made God? It's gods all the way up. Or physics laws, and meta laws, and meta-meta laws, and so on.
What are cells? Molecules. What are molecules? Atoms What are atoms? Electrons, protons, and neutrons What are they? Well, protons and neutrons are quarks.
What are Quarks? They, along with electrons, seem to be fundamental point particles with a charge or other force of some kind, but no spacial dimensions. Repeated slamming together with higher and higher energies always shows force deflection, but never any physical knock deflection, unlike protons and whatnot.
But maybe they're really, really tiny strings or whatnot, such that you'd never statistically see any collisions, even with quadrillions of tries.
And what makes those? Uhhhhh. We haven't gotten there yet.
It's also been suggested that cloning the entire universe every fraction of a nanosecond into uncounted trillions of copies is the ultimate violation of Occam's Razor.

Everybody "knows" that silicone breast implants rupture and cause joint problems, lupus, auto-immune diseases, etc. Yet gigantic population tests showed those with suffered the same rates of these things as those without. (And you'll notice no shortage of authors, lawyers, and others profiteering from the idea it was a problem.)
Everybody "knows" Olestra, the fake oil in potato chips, "causes cramps" and whatnot. Yet testing shows people who ate these chips actually had a slightly lower risk than those who ate regular chips. That's right. If you want to reduce your risk of cramps when eating thips -- use the Olestra ones instead of the regular ones. And you'll notice no shortage of authors, lawyers, and others trying to profiteer on this, before it was mercifully and quickly put to death.

I've got news for you -- much of the organic/anti-GM food crowd is loaded down with more FUD than Fat Bastard.
We have no problem demanding drugs (to say nothing of GM foods, etc.) are safe and effective -- isn't the reverse true? Shouldn't those who yap about the dangers be forced to put up proof or shut up before they get control of the laws?
Because nobody ever heard of a charlatan selling books and whatnot scaring people about the dangers of this or that thing. UFO books are getting so passe the past few decades.
