Such cars exist... however... they create more pollution not less... because they simply move the power generation from many locations to one location... and reduce the efficiency, because every time you translate energy(coal to electric, electric to battery, battery to power) you create entropy... so a gasoline powered car getting 30 MPG is more efficient(big picture) than a hybrid getting 100mpg...
I'm not muddying anything... I use force when I choose to buy from a instead of b. I use force when I chooose not to sell to x and sell to y(using arbitrary reasons y asked first, I don't like the tone of x's voice, etc) I use force when I excercise my right to vote for g over f... these are all uses of pre-emptive force...
Given that the earth's population is ~6.5 million...They could fit comfortably in the area's of the world where english is spoken natively(US,Canada,UK,NZ, and AUS... giving each person NLT 1 acre of land....
and diverse and intelligent cabinet ("better team") is what Bush had over Gore... Bush isn't as bright as Gore, but he has "people skills" he picked a team of people smarter than he was and who he trusted to advise him accurately.. Gore picked a team who would agree with his genius, right or wrong.
Bush also knows when to go against his team for the greater good... eg Thanksgiving in Bagdad.
We have gone to a new model... we now have public lending libraries.
you suggested that the public libraries of our founding fathers were like they are today... I simply corrected that misconception... In fact, many public reading libraries in the 17th and 18th centuries had subscription lending programs...
those libraries still exist today... and have quite a wealth of material for research about that era...
A public reading library is an old idea... a public lending idea is a new one... and subscription lending libraries were the norm among our founding fathers....
Healthcare and housing are not fundamental rights, although if you want to live somewhere, the government will give you land... on which you can build a house and subsistence farm... Or did you want housing without working for it... basic education is IMO a marginal issue and should be handled by the local community... and if the local commmunity does not value education... so be it. Roads are necessary for commerce.. and so are the purview of the goverernment... ditto for law and order and a small defense force..
it is your responsibility to make your life bearable, not mine...And no, I've never been one of the rich, and I have handled basic farming/gardening so that there would be edibles on the table...
But right now, today, I have more freedom that I would
have ad in Poland twenty years ago. I can start an independent
newspaper, just like any of the thousands now available,
without asking the government's permission or subjecting it to
any government censorship.
Business
license.
Available to all without question for one standard fee.
I can go to a church that
isn't licensed by the government.
IRS
charitable organization registration.
Actually not required...
I can
criticize the goverment without fear of reprisal. I can own
handgun for personal defense. I get a trial by a jury of my
peers.
Patriot Act. Military Tribunals.
Etc.
Ted Rall still flaps his trap and the NRA hasn't been emprisoned individually or en masse. And that ugly fat guy responsible for the fictional documentary about columbine is still flapping his trap
Origin theory encompasses all theories regarding the origin of the universe and life on earth... evolutionary and creationist and all other whacko theories out there....
I understand it, Perhaps it is you who does not understand the argument of reductio ad absurdam.
and since you weren't there, and I wasn't there, and it isn't possible to duplicate the proposed conditions without intelligence.... Or even with intelligence for that matter...

I have the right to invoke force... Money is force, intellect is force, a .30-06 is force, a 12 gauge is force.... etc
now, just like the government, my use of force has concequences.
Yes, but what do we get from Israel???
Well, for one, we got the most important communication tool of the last 10 years... ICQ.
You aren't getting it, these things were "impossible" and people don't throw money at the impossible unless there is an impossible goal..

I really enjoy books, and my budget restricts what I can buy new so I frequent library sales, now I can do that from the comfort of my chair...
strider would have been 20something...
Maiar not mayan...
Well since Elrond hadn't changed since the first war of the ring... why should he look different 50 years before the second one...
I have a friend that needs that can you giftwrap it and send it for me?

Well DUH!

I'll say that you are mistaken...
I must assume that USB Key means thumbdrive, although I couldn't find any reference on the linked site indicating what size this might be..
and your post referenced something I've never heard of.. reductio as absurdum... So neither of us can type straight...
Origin theory encompasses all theories regarding the origin of the universe and life on earth... evolutionary and creationist and all other whacko theories out there....
I know my latin... I also know my english, and Reductio ad absurdum is correct...
singularity is a theory, and is not scientific because it is not falsifiable...
Origin theory is not falsifiable... It is not a scientific theory. It's a faith based story.
I understand it, Perhaps it is you who does not understand the argument of reductio ad absurdam.
