Nope, you guessed wrong. I was taking the pompous git to task for his overbearing attitude, which DOESN'T HELP when trying to convince people to take positive steps to address an issue.

Your approval is neither sought nor required, sunshine.
That's probably because I didn't state my position. That's OK though, don't let me stop you from jumping to whatever conclusions support your prejudices.
More profit means you can kill off the last 5% of a species and be making tons of money
'Cause, they're just as easy to find and catch as the first 95% were, right?

Oh, get over yourself. People have been predicting the Malthusian doom of mankind and the planet forever, and people like you have been sneering at the skeptics every time. But don't worry, I'm sure you can save us all from ourselves if you just work yourself into enough of a snit.
the $8mil fine is, frankly, a joke compared to the money he has got in the bank.
Well, with a criminal conviction, you can expect investor lawsuits to leave him destitute. In the case of fraud, I doubt that he can even get the homestead exemption.
Jesus H. Tap-Dancing Christ, when are people going to quit using that stupid, wishful-thinking name for that pile of voodoo?
When lazy bureacrats in law enforcement convince themselves that they can just use a machine to save them the trouble of real detective work, we get results like Aldrich Ames getting nearly every CIA agent in Russia killed. We see cold-blooded killers able to convince the cops that they're clean, and any number of innocent people having their lives ruined because "the machine said so".
There's a REASON why polygraphs aren't admissibile in court, and the reason is that judges aren't quite as easily fooled as politicians (thank goodness for small favors.)
Marston was as much of a charlatan as L. Ron Hubbard. It disgusts me how much we taxpayers have paid, and continued to pay for a fucking E-meter.
There are very few items that are only available from the USA, and foodstuffs are not among them. Cuba can buy whatever it wants from just about every other country on earth.
The reason that they're an economic basket case is that now that the Russians aren't buying sugar from them at artificially high prices, the consequences of punishing private enterprise are making themselves felt.
Well, I'm going to go way out on a limb here, and suggest that the blame lies not with either the current or the previous US administrations, but with the Stalinist thugs who are starving their people to death while they spend billions on developing nukes.
Apple's not on the RoR "Bandwagon". It's just another of the the widely-used UNIX apps that they include on the OS X disks, just like Python, Perl, Apache, BASH, PostFix, etc, etc.
