    I did that once - I was 18, with no skills at all, so the company paid me crap wages. I learned a fair bit, and the next job was a lot better.

    Surely there's more data - $100k in NYC is middle class (barely). In Fairfax county, VA, it's submedian. In Manhattan, KS, it's living high on the hog. And yeah, what about inflation?

    I got myself some sony big earmuff headphones - no noise cancellation, but it looks like I'm tuning people out (so I get fewer interruptions) and it cuts down the noise by about 5-10 db.

    "Evolutionism" requires faith in the work of hundreds of scientists interpreting the present and making educated guesses about the past.

    Evolutionism - that's funny. Of course, it's easier to have faith in the work of a bunch of scientists when their methods are open and the concolusions subject to revision in the face of new evidence.

    you could rationalize this as a fraud prevention thing - you have to actually have access to whatever address you claim, and the DMV drones can't gin up a 'real' fake DL on site. They'd have to send it through central processing.

    Actually, it's us who need someone to hate. Sure, a lot of the ignorant masses believe all sorts of stupid things about jews (because that's what they've been taught and they've never met a jew), but do you really think they'd be so pissed off if we weren't bombing the bejesus out of them every 5-10 years?

    But, you know, if this country can't handle a presidency of a white female and vice presidency of black male who can win by a landslide if they just run together

    Huh, assuming facts not in evidence and answering the wrong question - you must be a politician :). It's not that I won't vote for the pair because I can't stomach them as a P/VP (many can't, perhaps enough to kill your second supposition), it's that Obama is a reasonable candidate and Clinton is not. Why are you suggesting that they run together? From here, it looks like you want a novelty. I want a president.

    Besides, if Obama WON, and said, Hillary, you take President first; I'll go second, would the Justices or Congress or Senate or Judiciary have any ground to say, "NO! It don't WERK DAT WAY!"?

    why the hell would they do that? It is illegal, by the way - Hillary has to get elected president in order to act as the president.

    Now you're requiring public key encryption, which people mostly don't understand. The electoral process must be transparent and reliable, or else nobody will trust it.

    You can't do that because it requires a large number of completely trustworthy people running the validation centers. What you're trying to do is evil because it corrodes one of the basic pillars of our system of government - I can't threaten to murder your family for voting the wrong way or fire you, or do much of anything.

    Here they have, for FIRST TIME IN US HISTORY TWO gender and color/gender minorities who BOTH have major votes and stand to easily defeat any member of their opposition.

    Who gives a rip? If you're voting for them because they're minorities, you're a racist tool - go kill yourself.

    So, technically, pretty much all non-Caucasian "Americans" have had since roughly 1975 to realize an opportunity to excel

    But poor whites are screwed. I guess that's okay, since they have 'white privelege' on their side.

    If what you were doing was illegal, they should report you to the police. The law is the law.

    they have no obligation to report anything. who cares about the law, anyway? No harm, no foul (DRTFA).

    how do you draw the line?

    Assault/murder seems good to me. Really, unless someone's bleeding, why involve a cop? They're usually not going to help matters.

    What will you define as under control ?

    Anywhere we exercise control - if it's an agent of the government that's in charge, he's subject to our laws, period. This means that the recent case where some blackwater goons gangraped a woman in iraq and will likely not be prosecuted would be under our jurisdiction.

    What happens to the laws of the host country [-] are they void ?

    No, just one more restriction on what our government can do. Why would you even ask such a question?

    Typically contries only try to pass laws and rule over their own territory. Your new dynamic extensions need a bit more thought. (and international agreement)

    Not really. They only apply to people working for our government. Someone under contract to our govt, but not actually a citizen/resident isn't subject to these laws, but the guy who hires him is - if that guy sends someone overseas to be tortured, he should be criminally liable.
