Sheesh. Try some reading comprehension. I was obviously referring to the grandparent post's *suggestion* of a 100% tier. The parent post thought it meant taxing *all* income at 100% if you earned more than a certain amount. I corrected him and explained it would be another tier. Which, FOR EXAMPLE, could tax any income over $2 million at 100%.
but to take a small room and create a large, totally synthetic environment with an extended synthespian family, all via subscription service. And there you sit all day, listening to their dramatic, interesting lives while your own dull, wasted existance drains away.
It'd be an interesting exercise with the Sims. Watch them walk around and interact with each other... see sims from the neighbour's house come over.
Religion in North America is not treated special, simply like a charity. There are NO SPECIAL POWERS.
There are some. For instance, priests cannot be compelled to testify regarding the content of confessions. Religious affiliation is protected from discrimination by various measures of the law.
There's also a great deal of special treatment extended that's not codified in law. ie: a church will be granted an exemption from zoning regs to build a church that a charity wouldn't receive.
Let's say your state has 1,500,000 people. Out of those, 750,000 are actually registered. In a given election, you'll get 40% turnout, or 300,000 people total voting. It's probably less but let's assume 40%. To win the election, you need 50%+1, or 150,001 people.
So how do you get 150,001 votes with your 20,000? In most areas, you can expect "the other guy" or "no" or "yes" or whatever issue to garner a third of the vote no matter what. There are a lot of Yellow Dog Democrats & Republicans out there. Generally. That gives you a base of 100,000 to work with in addition to your 20,000.
That leaves 30,001 votes. I believe they're picking a state that will already sympathetic to their views. So having each activist persuade at least 2 undecided voters isn't that far off an idea, especially if they've got money behind them.
This is how campaigns are won. Identify and target undecided voters for persuasion(mailers, TV, doorbelling, etc) and target your base supporters for GOTV. Competent field directors will have a plan that details how this is done.

This is a hollow threat. Microsoft is simply going to *completely* concede the Australian video game market to Sony and Nintendo because they aren't getting their way.
Oh no! Please don't deny me your library of inferior games, Microsoft! Whatever would I do?
I very much doubt that collections of names from across the country allegedly in support of one thing or the other means very much to a given congress critter.
If you sent a letter who someone who doesn't represent you, we forwarded it to the office of the person who does.
In the case of petitions, internet or real, responses will be sent to anyone we have an address for in district. The rest gets chucked.

LIberal bias in the media, like Dan Rather, come into play when Dan slips Cythia Mckinney's loss into a segment about about US bias against muslims. Among many others.
Gee, I wonder if the vast resevoirs of Jewish money that flooded McKinney's opponent's coffers had anything to do with that perception? McKinney had also received a lot of Arab money, not surprising considering her pro-Palestinian views.
Anyone who had been following the race knows that it had turned into a sort of proxy "Jews vs Arabs" battle.
I too have struggled against those pointed-headed purveyors of immorality, SCEINTISTS!
While many are familar with thier athiest theory of godless "evilution", others, including many of my fellow creationists!, have fallen prey to their more insidious "theory"(and it is JUST a THOERY!)...
the "Theory" of Gravity.
More like the "Theory of Gravi-Sodom and Gomorrah."
As you all know, the Earth represents our morality. God holds us down to the earth just as he holds us accountable for our actions. Many scientists do not dispute this FACT.
But some(meaning "most" or "all") sceintists don't believe in morality. They think that things "fall" ON THIER OWNwithout an intervention from God.
This THEORY is being tauight in public schools to our impressisonable young people. Thanks to these godless "Gravilutionists", they are being tuaght that God's moral laws just aren't the same everywhere in the universe. They're being taught that morality is "different" on Mars or Venus... and that it SIMPLY DOESN'T EXIST IN OUTER SPACE.
Our children, our future, our most improtant resource, are being told that "Murder isn't okay here, but it is elsehwere!"
This is just part of the gravilutionist conspiracy to take us off God's paradise and into the realm of Satan.
Like my fellow Christians in the Scientific Creationism community, I have attempted to publish papers on this subject, but the scientific establishment has STOPPED me at every turn. They are obviously AFRIAD of what I have to say.
I am not some "crankpot". I hold a doctorate from the highly respected University of Ediacara, but the scientists ignore my obvious qualifications.
But just as sceintists laughed at Galileo, laughed at Newton, laughed at Einstein and laughed at Duane Gish, so they laugh at me. But history will prove me right, just as it proved those brave men correct.
And don't even get me started on the THEORY of "Electromagnetism". THat's just a THEORY too, you know.

You do realize that he was talking about a 100% tier, right? ie: All income higher than 2 million is taxed at 100%.
Nice work, trollboy.
Yeah, the Dreamcast died because of the homebrew community. [rollseyes]
And the GBA could potentially fail due to, at most, a few thousand people out of millions not buying games for it.

Like all those democratically elected governments we overthrew and replaced with murderous military regimes. Guatemala anyone?
But they weren't our own citizens so I guess they don't count.

There is also no way to know if a resident is from washington or not.
Yes there is. Washington State has a registry of e-mail addresses that residents can sign up for.

I wonder how Eric would like it if someone "modded" his article to change the conclusion and then posted it on their website?
I suppose the Feds would have to raid Microsoft's HQ because MS Word is a tool that could mod Eric's article in violation of the DMCA.
Maybe he wanted to take advantage of Southwest's Weekly Specials, "available only on southwest.com".

It likely depends on the state. In Washington state, they simply can't enter into a binding contract.
Not without complications. They'd still do it again because their sight was really bad to begin with but it's enough to put me off.

But this is the same Al Gore who said that Love Story was written about him.
That's because IT WAS. The author Eric Segal confirmed that Gore and Tommy Lee Jones were the inspiration for the male lead.
Yet the media and the dittohead drones never paid him any notice. After all, what would the author of the book know?
