    Didn't you just describe the progressive, individual tax scheme in the US?


    "Lets say you work really hard and do everything right. You keep a reasonable budget, work hard, behave sensibly , and generally just do a good job.

    Then lets say your neighbor is a complete fucktard that spend more money then they have, slack off doing nothing half the time, engage in dumb counter productive activities, and generally make every mistake possible one after the other...

    Should I be punished for the incompetence of my neighbor?

  13. Binoculars on Slashdot Asks: Cheap But Reasonable Telescopes for Kids? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I have had five scopes. My current primary scope is Celestron CGE 1100.

    First, get a good set of binocs and a star atlas. I recommend either "Turn Right at Orion" and/or Sky & Telescope's Pocket Sky Atlas. I have the Orion Mini-giants 9x63 and they are wonderful for astronomy. They are also light enough to be used without a tripod. It really helps to know the basic constellations when starting. Also get http://www.stellarium.org/

    Craigslist has used scopes all the time. You could pick up a Celestron C5, C6, or C8 for a few hundred and prob. not lose too much on resale. Stay away from "department store" scopes!

    Check out your local astronomy club. Our club has 20+ scope for loaning and at a star party you could check out a bunch of scope live.

    RINO

    This is the very essence of the parties, both of them. An unsold politician has no influence whatsoever. It's a shame to see the voters reward this behavior. Nothing will change until they do.
