The gov could forbid a company from doing business (jailtime) or even dissolve it (death). Of course, since the companies are what pays the gov's bills they won't enforce any harsh punishments.
Not just pay their bills -- there are registered voters working there as well, and they (unlike/. members) probably have friends (who also vote)...
"He gets to say goodbye to the fans," Chris said. "My dad has always been moved by the fans. If someone comes up and asks him for an autograph, he signs. He never turns anyone down."
Things must've changed since 1986, then; I met him at a Con back then and his response to an autograph request was "Aye, autographs are later."
In particular I'd like to know, why does it have to be a RED laser pointer? The reasons given in the article "it gives a better shadow" and "it doesn't have other wavelengths to make it fuzzy" don't sound right. If it's really a parallel universe (and that's the wildest excuse for this experiment I've read yet,) it should work the same way with any wavelength, shouldn't it?
So what's the difference? The wavelength. Red is particularly prone to overlap / interfere with itself, perhaps? I just get this feeling that there's some really simple explanation for this, and people want to believe the most bizarre one.

It's hard to be impressed by "lower turnover" when there so many people not eligible for turnover because they're still unemployed...

Apparently a gaggle of gaggers is needed for so many gags. Makes you want to gag, doesn't it? (N)ix
