    I have many advantages. My work though needs help. My username on GitHub is the same as here.

  5. Amazon competes with Walmart. If only Sears and JC Penny's would merge and compete. K-Marts are a real mess. Morale is low there.

    You paid then too. Just didn't break it out into its own column. Believe me, our family was well aware there was technically a deposit. People around here used the term frequently.

    And not just government you happen to disagree with. The point is that they aren't taking that as a factor. Revolution is only illegal in the third person and the way these poorly conceived militias are implemented is without the proper vetting process that separates them from criminals even in their own eyes. The founding fathers had the militias in place as whole parts of the British empire before determining to make a clean break. These guys are loose cannons, not quite with the rest of the US, and they know it. Learn your history.

    No, there's something about the male mind that makes it unsuitable to get out of a career in Science. This stuff is hard.
