There it is.
We already have those. They're called insurance companies. Health care decisions, including the ethically complicated ones, are increasingly removed from the hands of the caregivers and the consumers. As a rule, that's bad medicine, but the bean-counters make the rules now, so fuck medically and ethically sound practices.
that's because the next big war will be between the rich and the poor, and live soldiers are less likely to fire on their family, friends and neighbors.
"Piss off, you hand-wringing, liberal, enviromentalist weenies. Your federal government is all about privatizing profit and socializing expenses. You want it cleaned up? You pay for it."
Frankly, if they still don't get that abusing the hand that feeds them tax dollars isn't in America's best interest.
Your mistake is in assuming that the motivation for this behavior is "America's best interest". The interests actually being represented may be "American" but that is only a coincidence.
By that logic, any act that has a reasonable expectation of shortening one's life is "suicide". True, most of us, including the Imam, I suspect, would disagree. Tough titty. That is the argument he made, while disregarding the tremendous opportunity presented by the mission. Such nonsense is what comes from so-called religious leaders trying to wedge their dogma into real-world problems.
make it so that they can compete and they can try any program they want. Non-competitive ideas will get priced out of the market.
That is an idiotic notion, for obvious reasons. What we really need is the public utility model. The rights of way and the cable/fiber strung or laid there are owned and maintained by the commons. Service delivery over that infrastructure can then be opened to competition.
There is no "controversy". No. There isn't. So there is nothing else to teach, other than credible scientific theory, when it comes to how we got here. No, your beliefs do not come anywhere near to the definition of "scientific theory". Get over it and stop trying to make your children stupid.
This is what you get when IT ACTS like annoying whining office jerks because they only explain things in completely condescending 100% tech speak ways to non techies, i.e. management.
Management is your first source of funds. When they need it explained in their terms, EXPLAIN IT TO THEM.
Nooo.... This is what you get when people who don't understand IT, and who can't be bothered to listen to any explanations, describe their experience when IT tries to explain why it is important to [insert security best practice here]. Yes, there are dickheads in IT too, who are condescending, etc., but that can hardly explain the constantly uphill battle that IT fights when trying to justify this expense or that policy.
Are you advocating the opposite, that the EPA should be able to issue regulations based on non-science
Does it hurt to be so dense? That's the whole point of the bill - non-science. The Republican's agenda doesn't give a shit about science, or the environment. Their agenda is profit for their corporate masters. The bill is a blatant, if ham-handed, attempt to place ridiculous restrictions on the enactment of regulations designed to protect the environment.

Got POTS? You've still got a landline as long as you have at least 1 PODF (Plain Old Dumb Phone)
False. Most residental POTS lines are analog (and thus line powered) for only the last mile. When the power goes out, unless the other end is a CO with backup generators, etc., your POTS service will last only as long as the batteries in the hut down the street, where your line is digitized for the backhaul to the CO.
One possible reason for the increase is that the Sun belched a superflare our way, engulfing the planet in huge cloud of high energy protons.
...and it could just be God, testing our faith. We learn from presentations at The Creation Museum that God does this all the time, putting riddles into nature to show us that we aren't all smart and sciency like we think we are. He could totally make a giant space gun that shoots high-energy protons at certain places in the earth to make it look like something happened a long time ago, just like he made it look like the dinosaurs lived way before Adam and Eve.
Because the large blocks of fundamentalist xtians have repeatedly managed to gain enough way on the state school board to have their religious views forced into textbooks.
While not a native, I too live in Texas and would agree that most Texans I know are decent and fair-minded people. But the religious nut bags who seem to feel that it is their right to force their beliefs into every corner of the life of every Texan are making us look bad.
I think it's ok to fund it, as long as everything is taught or easily available to learn about.
So teaching lies is OK in your book?
I've not met many people who don't believe in evolution. And I've never met anyone in Texas who things same-sex marriage should be banned. Most people I've met here(born and raised here) think it's criminal that is isn't legal already.
You need to get out more. If you live in or around Austin, or in the Heights or Montrose neighborhoods in Houston for example, such views are commonplace, but move out of the urban centers and it's a different world. The fundies are legion out there and I am here to tell you that they are not shy about showing their hatred and ignorance.
Yep. That our Congress has lacked the will to call this man on the crimes he has plainly committed is a sign that our government is beginning to fail. We could debate about when that failure really began, but when the head of a rogue agency is allowed to metaphorically extend his middle finger to the body of elected officials charged with the oversight of him and his agency, that failure is well established.
I know you're being sarcastic (in a way) but a market with the government of the largest world power as a player is anything but free. Still, here's betting that the fan boys of free market mythology still don't get it.
Chattanooga has symmetric 1gbps internet available to the entire city and suburbs for the same price as google fiber (but no "zero-cost" option for low speed). And, as a plus, it isn't google, it is the local electricity co-op.
But wait... That sounds like..., like... socialism! I thought that socializing anything (except corporate expenses, where you can swing it) was bad. I just don't know what to think anymore. I knew that the public utility model has been extremely effective in delivering inexpensive and reliable electrical power to large portions of the U.S., but now you're telling me that the same model will work for internet service too? How can this be? I mean, the challenges of delivering both services are virtually the same but... Oh...

That is because the radiation levels around the area of Fukisima are so low that no-one in the general population are likely to have any exposure

That last free-flowing stretch of the Columbia River that the OP mentions is also the last stretch of Columbia River that maintains spawning habitat.
You mean the stretch that actually has four more dams on it? That free flowing stretch?
If there is only one dam below Wanapum, this will be easy.
Not so much. The author of TFS is an idiot. He missed McNary, John Day, The Dalles, and Bonneville dams.
Sounds a lot like, "But you made me hit you, bitch!"
..we probably really do need "death panels"
There it is.

This should be good...

They said Bitcoin was just like currency, only better.
/sarcasm (C'mon mods. Mark this post as troll again. It doesn't change the reality.).
Be more careful and don't lose your shit. If I found something, even with a name on it, I'd keep it. Finders keepers and all that.
You are "what's wrong with the world today". You probably text in movie theaters and while driving because, you know, it's all about you. Right?

I don't see why Texas gets ragged on so much.
