Fact is many parents are lazy these days and like to seem engaged more than they are. Exactly. Logging firewall/router. Logging passive proxies. Auto-recording VOIP. GPS phone/car. No cable TV. My kids are going to hate having a geek dad.:)
You forgot to mention the practical impossibility of going 76 mph anywhere in San Antonio at any time in the last 20 years. I've never been to another city where traffic flow sucked so badly everywhere, all the time.
Ow, my brain:

I'm confused. Why are they throwing away large amounts of hot water at all, if they generate power with steam turbines? Wouldn't it make more sense to keep the hot water and reheat it, instead of heating cooler river water? Or am I missing something? It seems like a hotter river would make them more efficient, since it would take less energy to boil it.
Going from memory myself... I believe what he said was that if anyone were convicted of a crime they would no longer work in his administration; and the crime he was alluding to was of course the outing of Valerie Plame. Now, Libby was convicted of a different crime (lying), that occurred after the President made that statement, and he did in fact leave the administration as soon as he was indicted. Further, it appears that he lied for nothing, since in all likelyhood there was no crime committed originally. Not excusing this in the least, but let's not make it more than it is.
Solution: Crash Mars into Venus. Vaporizes the atmosphere, so it can start afresh. Melts the crust, to start plate tectonics. Speeds up rotation, and probably gives it a moon to boot. Just have to wait a few million years for it to cool down enough.
Yes. and if you're a man who finds himself being nagged about the seat position, this creates the perfect defense. The same women who go ballistic about an occasional toilet seat slip-up will *never* actually change their own habits. The conversation with my wife went something like this:
she: You left the seat up last night, you insensitive clod! I almost fell in the toilet! me: I'm sorry, I usually lower both the seat and the lid, but I must have forgotten last night. she: Well, you should be more attentive! me: Yes, I should, but if you were to make a habit of lowering the lid each time, as I've asked you to on
numerous occasions, then you would always automatically check it, and never suffer such a mishap.
Have you *ever* lowered the lid after using the toilet? she: I don't see what that has to do with anything! me: It is very relevant because if you cannot be bothered to ever do such a simple thing as lowering the
lid, how can you expect something close to perfection from me in lowering the seat? she: er, uh...
She never brought up the issue again, even though I probably still do forget every once in a while. Guys, this is your one chance to outright, slam-dunk, win an argument with the missus, and take an issue she has hanging over your head, and turn it around straight back at her. Just start putting the lid down.
In that case, the message is simple: Raise your children well....
Except that's a completely useless statement!
Whenever someone asks a question about the proper course of action regarding the raising of children, someone who has a philosophy of few restrictions and light oversight for children (usually a child or recent child themselves) will always answer, "Don't do that, just raise your children well!". "Don't poke through their things , just raise them well and trust them." "Don't censor their entertainment, just raise them well." The problem is that this just leads back to the original question: Is Doing X or allowing X raising my children well or not?
Sadly, it seems that most people's answer to such a question boils down to: "Whatever fits the way I like to do things is raising children well, and what other people do isn't."
You have some very good questions mixed with some that have trivial answers. You can look at a specific person and make arguments that some of the trivial answers don't apply, but in a broad sense the questions with trivial answers don't present much of a conundrum:
Why do conservatives disregard conservation?
Good Question.
Why do right-to-lifer's support the death penalty?
Trivial answer: Because they support saving the innocent and punishing the guilty. A better conundrum is, why do some (I said *some*) pro-choicers insist that an innocent unborn human has no rights whatsoever, but that even the most vile drug-dealing, rapist, murderer should never be executed?
Why do liberals promote loss of liberty?
Good Question.
Why do those who dodge military service advocate preemptive war?
Multiple trivial answers: Because that was a long time ago and their perspective has changed. Because every situation is different and they feel that preemptive action is called for now. Because sometimes even those who have a genuine set of altruistic principles that guide their decisions generally, will still act selfishly when things affect them personally. Because they were 18-22 years old at the time. Looking back, God I was a freaking imbecile when I was that age, and wish I could take back most of my major decisions of that time. How about you?

No, there are 3 kinds of people: those who can count and those who can't.

This is a pretty clever idea. Even better would be to organize a flash mob of people taking pictures of each other without them memory cards.
