If you want to develop space-related technologies, don't do it in Canada. Your government won't respect your property rights, and will intervene if you try to reap the rewards of building a valuable business.
So, what should you do instead? Emigrate, and build your business in a country whose government wants to encourage growth.
Then we'll see a bunch of businesses pop up in New Jersey and Connecticut which will forward packages to New York. They're not the buyer or the seller, so they'd have no obligation to tell New York what they shipped to whom and when.
It seems that most scientists insist that *every* vaccine is safe for *every* child,
Not even close. What they do say, is that the chances of side-effects from vaccines are less than the hazards of the disease that the vaccine prevents.
TFA says it's a shale deposit. We've known for decades that there's more oil in tar sands and shales in North America than there is in the Saudi fields, but there's the small detail of how much it costs to extract it.
Actually, there is some blame to give to Apple for this, and the mistake they made was in extending Carbon after most of the OS 9 apps had been ported. Carbon had to be done, but HIView was throwing good money after bad. By not saying flat-out, in no uncertain terms, that Carbon was going to be put into maintenance mode back around the 10.2 timeframe, Apple let developers believe that they didn't have get with the program.
maximizing profits over the long haul is often a very different game over maximizing them Right Now.
Exactly. Warren Buffet made his fortune by investing for the long haul.
I really can't figure out why the RIAA members seem to have a disproportionate share of numbskull management. Treating your customers as the enemy is simply asinine.
Maybe Hillary and Obama can have a duel to settle the nomination once and for all.
Well, much as I enjoy the idea, only one of them deserves the nomination. It would be a sad thing if a lucky shot were to thwart the will of the voters.
You're still way off the mark. What we object to, is the services you mention being monopolized and made compulsory by government.
The US is the worst 1st world country in the world for health-care, precisely BECAUSE of the everyone for themselves sentiment.
Wrong again. The problem here is the enormous degree of interference in health care, and particularly in the insurance market by the federal government.
Elections seem to be nothing but bitter slander now.
That's largely how they've been for most of the history of our republic. Try looking up some of the things that Alexander Hamilton said about Aaron Burr.
Just try for a moment to grasp the difference between obtaining information pursuant to a warrant, when a crime has been committed, and routinely gathering dossiers on everybody's finances.
Maybe we should just preemptively incarcerate everyone to get crime under control!
I think you're insane.
Gee, that would really hurt if I had any reason at all to value your judgement.
No, libertarians support separation of people from everyone else.
Just repeating the same lie doesn't really make your case, sunshine. Insurance works very well when offered in a free market, where both parties are able to make their own decisions as to what kind of coverage they're willing to buy or sell, and under what terms. That's how Lloyds of London and other maritime underwriters made it possible to vastly expand shipping in the 1700's. Voluntary pooling of risk is a brilliant idea, one of the best ones since the invention of the joint-stock corporation.
When it comes to health insurance, the fact is that we have had a ridiculously over-regulated insurance market for health care, ever since the middle of the last century, when the federal government first decided to meddle in our financial arrangements for health care.
Libertarians whole heartedly do not care about the public good
That's a rather vicious smear, not to mention being a baldfaced lie. Libertarians care far more about the public good, particularly about our freedom, than those on the right or left who constantly seek to increase the power of the government. We've noticed that the freer we are, the better off we are.
There's no balance to strike: either we're entitled to privacy, including privacy of our financial matters, or government power is total. I know which I'd prefer.
There's more than one element to the transformer. You have the coils, and you have the core. One coil induces a magnetic field in the core, which in turn induces a current in the other coil. If the coils are superconducting, you still have to convert energy from current to field and back.

Finland -along with the rest of the Nordic countries- seems to be a prime example of the opposite of libertarianism.
No, Cuba and North Korea are the prime examples. The Nordic countries don't completely strangle private enterprise.

I agree that some taxation is necessary, but socialism is killing the middle class.
Socialism certainly hurts the middle class, but the damage it inflicts on the poor is far, far worse. A dependent is a slave.

Rich people don't have to evade taxes, they can afford to buy politicians to manipulate the tax code for their benefit.
The reason for the Byzantine complexity of the US tax code is that it is the result of nearly a century of politicians selling favors to contributors.
