Actually many environmentalists do support well designed and properly run nuke plants. I agree that I'd prefer to have a few miles of mine shafts or a square mile of plant site contaminated than have massive swaths of the country plagued by acid rain or the whole atmosphere polluted. I don't think the issue is weapons, usually it is Three Mile Island and Chernobyl that are the boogy men that get waved around.
I'd add that Stalingrad was really the start of the downward slide for the Germans. They lost an entire army there. It was their highwater mark. Also at Kursk it wasn't just a matter of just T-34 vs Tiger, it was also a matter of the German's plans being known to the Soviets who then created a multilayered deep defense and massed their forces. It was a cobweb of AT guns, mines, bunkers, ditches, etc. The Germans insisted on attacking into this trap anyway.
I agree though that the Soviet "grunt" never gets any credit from the West.
Hold on now, if it wasn't for the "you idiots" argument discussions on the web would grind to a halt. If you weren't so stupid you'd know that already.
Taxpayers never share in gains, but somehow we are expected to "take one for the team" when there are loses?
Yes yes yes...I'd put this along side people who insist on building in areas known to be extremely risky (i.e. frequently flood prone areas, weak hillsides) yet expect the other taxpayers to bail them out if they get hit. The prudent get stuck with the bill. Fine, you can use my tax dollars to cover your ass as long as I get to use your beach house occasionally.
The result of the monetary policy of our nation has been nearly continuous punishment of savers through inflation
I love how they make sure they discourage you by taxing the interest on savings.
If they bothered to do some research they would've found out that the way to do this is to sit in a cloth, put on a turban, and play a flute in front of a basket with a rope coiled in it until it went up into the sky. Then you have a little kid climb up it.
It doesn't matter what the ethics are of the company as a whole. If they can't trust you as an employee they won't hire you since all organizations (whether you think they are corrupt or not) depend on trust. If they are cheating, they want to be the ones doing the cheating, not being cheated. Even an Enron wouldn't be in a rush to hire a convicted embezzler.
We already do this with children. We have different standards for kids in court. I don't see us being overrun with pint-size hitmen (except for a very angry Gary Coleman).

I thought the Seinfeld episode where George turns his desk into a bed was inspirational.
Maybe they just dreamt they were kissing a girl. Do your coworkers groan while they snore?
Finally, surviellance technology being used for good instead of evil.

Aim them at Polaris?

Isn't that what the Germans said about the Soviet Union during WWII?
My squad needs 5000 more AA batteries, now!
Actually they were excellent teachers. They were just more precise and clearer in their terms than you. :)

Funny, I don't remember this definition from my Physics 101 course in college. Are you quoting Newton or Maxwell?
It would be very dangerous to go back to the gold standard. Do you really want to risk having Pussy Galore destroying our monetary system?

I got a copy of his court filing. Here it is.
I'm glad the case wasn't about NAMBLA.
I thought it just required getting out the garden hose and some loud noise.
Don't throw out your old hardware. Who knows what they'll build into CD/DVD players in the future.

If you RTFA you'd have read that the goal wasn't to reach the earth's surface but to lower something to a lower orbit.
This explains the "atmospheric reentry safe" boxes they kept trying to sell to me in the UPS store.
