The Red Scare goes back to much earlier than the Cold war(1919-1920), but yes you're right about the good old days, they were never really that good, but this is getting to the point were the US is becoming a parody of the old Soviet Union. Didn't a former White House Chef just die in an accident?
What part of "run the equipment on biodiesel" did you not understand?
The part were they get less biodiesel from the crop than they use to get the crop, also the part were poor people starve because food production is changed to energy production.
The ONLY barriers are social and political--even now the economics are so compelling that every call for projects solicits more than regulators and utilities want to accept.
I don't think you understand economics. If it were so compelling there would be no need for regulators to get involved, unless its their subsidies that are required. The utilities would be doing this themselves because it would turn a profit. If it requires the regulators actions to make the economics compelling then the barriers aren't social and political but economic.
I've bought and sold at Gun shows. The ATF usually sets up a booth there and police are present providing security at the doors. FFL's have to log in and out every firearm received and sold/transferred with a to and from. If the to isn't an FFL they have to have a matching 4473 form, and the ATF audits them. People have and do go to jail for innocent paperwork errors. If there is anything intentional suspected then their business gets shut down until the investigation is over. Personal buys and sells are not wink/wink because there is likely as not undercover agents there as well. The 60 minutes documentary had the journalists actually committing several felonies and were(cough*David Gregory*cough) not prosecuted because of who they are.
To be fair; the inference(an let me be clear, it is an inference) is from the quote in the article:
Modified soybean oil is also an option. Monsanto Co. is testing an oil called Vistive Gold made from soybeans that have been genetically modified to make it heart-healthier and good for frying without the need to hydrogenate it, said Sarah Vacek, soybean quality traits manager at Monsanto. Restaurants will be Vistive Gold’s main target.
Devils in their details.

FDA Bans Trans Fat
·
· Score: 4, Informative
If the measurement threshold is large enough than it can be like those fat free butter sprays that are made from oil and water. When you can say trans fat free as long as it has less than a gram of it why bother changing it when they're mostly milligram doses anyway? Oh and from the fine article it appears the real reason is that Monsanto genetically engineered Soybeans to naturally produce trans fats. So they can use them but not have to claim them.
That is a lie. The ONLY change a gun show allows is a Federal Firearms Licensee to transfer a firearm at the gun show instead of at the business location. Every law is still in force and enforced even at gunshows.
I think you may be referring to a fraudulent loan; taking the loan out with no intention of ever paying it back. The reality is that with student loans going into the low hundreds of thousands no one will get enough credit card limit to pay them down. If the amount is low enough to put on a credit card, its likely low enough to pay down quickly.
burying a serious and good idea here now; there is something deeply troubling about students having huge loan debt that cannot be discharged from going to a university that has hundreds of millions to billions of dollars in endowment and with a university president pulling down multi-million dollar a year sallary and a mansion to live in rent free. I suggest we tax university endowments of over $200million to pay off student loans.
Where's the room for graft in that? No room for graft and it will never happen. You talk as if the whole college student loan thing were about educating people. Its actually about getting money to politically connected and "right thinking" individuals. Why else are there more administrators than faculty at universities now?
He's taking the Jon Corzine way out. You can't discharge student loans with bankruptcy and they can and will garnish your wages. Credit cards don't have either of these remedies.
Its a better plan than defaulting on the student loans which will balloon their amounts as default fees are added.
I will say two things: 1. I do not think "Reckless Borrowing" means what he thinks it means. 2. Banks and businesses have no qualms about shafting their creditors, why should ordinary people? (ex. see MF Global, etc.)
You didn't politely ask. You were dishonest. You put words in my mouth:
" What makes you think they are not?"
I did not say nor think that they had not created the protein. I answered the question in the post above.
You're still telling lies saying your question was honest and polite. Don't be an asshole and then call me a dick, when I treat your dishonesty and rudeness as they deserve.
Reading is fundamental. Re-read what I wrote. Or I guess I'll bring it down to your level. Hair is made from keratin. So are finger nails. If I engineer a yeast to produce keratin, will it be hair, fingernails, or neither that the yeas produces? But the protein is the same.
Structure; Natural silk owes most of its properties to the structure the proteins are woven into at nano-scale. They've synthesized the proteins in the lab before, but that is a long way from synthesizing the silk.
The only relation to NFA and prohibition is the revenuers had to keep their jobs after prohibition ended in '33(note the year before). It was more linked to red scares than to gangsters.
Your starting to understand the BATFE. Now read up on the akins accelerator. It was approved as legal, sold a bunch with the approval, then the BATFE decided it was illegal and confiscated them all.
Since when is Very Bad Thing stopped legislation? It is the law of the land right now. Question 11.h on the 4473
Question 11.h. Definition of Restraining Order:
Under 18 U.S.C. 922,
firearms may not be sold to or received by persons subject to a
court order that:
(A) was issued after a hearing which the person received
actual notice of and had
an opportunity to participate in; (B) restrains such person from harassing, stalking,
or threatening an intimate partner or child of such intimate part
ner or person, or
engaging in other conduct that would place an
intimate partner in reasonable
fear of bodily injury to the partner or child; and (C)(i)
includes a f
inding that
such person represents a credible threat to
the physical safety of
such
intimate
partner or child; or (ii) by its terms explicitly prohibits the use, attempted use,
or threatened use of physical force against such intimate partner or child that
would reasonably be expected to cause bodily injury. An
“intimate partner” of
a person is: the
spouse
or former spouse
of the person, the p

the person, or an individual who cohabit

the person"
Try moving to Czech republic or Switzerland. Both are fairly liberal with gun licensing at least by European standards. Both also make some very nice firearms. Of course if NL is Netherlands, you also have fairly liberal gun laws by European standards. I've seen some pictures of gun shops there that had some very nice things.:)
I can see claymores as good home defense just need them right outside the doors and windows for when someone tries to break in; but miniguns seem really impractical. Have you ever tried to carry one? You would be getting it caught on everything in your house and it would be really hard to bring up to target in close quarters.
No state requires a license to operate a motor vehicle
The license is only required to operate one on public roads.
Many states license people to possess firearms in public, and some states require a license to posses a firearm on private lands, unlike operating motor vehicles.

It wasn't about finding who or an investigation. it was about stifling speech they don't like.

When did the United States become the society we were told the USSR was during the cold war?

The real reason for the whole gun show loophole propaganda is to get people who don't know about the laws and realities to push to make it illegal for private individuals to buy, sell, gift, and inherit guns to each other without going through a federal licensee/dealer. This raises the prices of guns by at least $100 per sale, and creates a de-facto gun registry so that later they can tell you like Dianne Feinstein wanted to "If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them . . . Mr. and Mrs. America, turn 'em all in, I would have done it. I could not do that. The votes weren't here."

Okay I did;
"A fraudulent conveyance, or fraudulent transfer, is an attempt to avoid debt by transferring money to another person or company."
However he's not transferring his assets nor his debt to someone else. He still has the debt, its just to a different creditor. Or is it a fraudulent transfer to take a personal loan to pay off a secured loan? If so then the law is an ass.
Where's the room for graft in that? No room for graft and it will never happen.

Actually if he's transferring his student loan debt to the credit cards the advice is brilliant.
