If you are sober, pay attention, and drive reasonably intelligently your chances of dieing or being seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident are acceptable. Head-on accidents are the worst case, but a small car has the best agility to avoid such an accident.
I've seen many intelligent people on each side of almost every issue. Many intelligent people use their intelligence to develop ways to support their nasty opinions. Judging any issue by those who support it is logical fallacy.
Judge a group or an issue by the facts and how humans will be affected.
The Pilgrims left the Netherlands because they thought that the Dutch society was corrupting their children. In other words, they went to America to be able to tyrannize their own children.
They didn't want to land in Plymouth, they were aiming further south.
Just because the chemical mentioned restored intelligence in mice whose brains had been damaged in one particular manner does not mean that it wouldn't help repair damage from other sources. In fact, the article even mentions other possibilities.
Given that the side effects of the chemical can be pretty nasty, I wouldn't try it.
Certain types of college education make certain careers easier. That doesn't mean a formal education is necessary for great success. Consider Rush Limbaugh, many athletes, and most of the people featured on Investors Business Daily "Leaders and Success" page.
As various forms of pollution have been slowly reduced, "environmentalists" have been casting around for some new way to destroy civilization that is both effective toward that goal and difficult to eradicate. They found it, and in the last two years they've been moving their focus from true pollutants to CO2.
I am astonished that this bald lie (that CO2 is harmful) is gaining widespread acceptance. The only good thing is that better technology like nuclear is being advanced in response to the foolish panic.
It's far worse than contempt of court, since the court in question is the Supreme Court and the violator in question is the Chief Executive.
"Checks and balances" is a two-edged sword. The relevant check here is the Court's lack of an enforcement mechanism (which belongs solely to the executive). The court has no way to enforce its idiotic decision, and we are protected by the Bush administration's refusal to enforce it.
This is a perfect example of the division of powers mandated by the Constitution having their desired effect.
Also, note that there's a long tradition of the President saying to the Supreme Court, "You've made your decision, now enforce it." There's a good reason that the Court doesn't have the ability to enforce its decisions.
The body has mechanisms to prevent cancer and mechanisms to destroy a cancer that has started. It is only when these mechanisms fail that cancer leads to death. There's no reason to believe that we won't eventually find ways to help our bodies to prevent or destroy all cancers.
Many of the Greeks that we know by name, such as Socrates and Aristotle, we know because they lived long enough to earn fame. Aristotle's student, Alexander the Great, lived only about 33 years.
TTL logic uses a lot of power and is pretty much obsolete these days. Same applies to 74LSxxx to a lesser degree. The ideal experimenter logic family is 74HCxxx... almost no power draw, better logic thresholds, unlikely to oscillate unexpectedly or produce a lot of RFI.
Because we already know that Digital Research was run by someone who was competing on technical merit
As far as I can tell, Digital Research stagnated from about 1982 to 1988. During that time Microsoft took control of the OS market for X86 processors, largely because DR dropped the ball.
Open it with oocalc 2.0. Make minor changes and save it in oocalc 1.0 format.
Open new file with oocalc 1.0. Watch oocalc crash.

Generally, if you create a spreadsheet with oocalc 2+, you have to save it in Excel format if you want oocalc 1.0 to open it. Why use 1.0? It's a lot more responsive.
In 1966 it was still standard operating procedure to rate engine horsepower without ancillaries (alternator, water pump, etc.) and with an open exhaust. Then 10% was added "for advertising". Modern practice is to test the engine as it is installed in the car, without exaggeration.
Please keep in mind when you read this eye-opening book that BAPTIST John D. Rockefeller BOUGHT the U.S. government after the Supreme Court decision to outlaw his monopoly in 1911.
It's comments like that which give slashdot its unsurpassed reputation for intelligent discourse.
A privilege is a special exemption extended to you by your master. A right is yours by the fact that you are a human being. Well established rights include liberty and property. For instance, the right to buy a jetski, an SUV, fuel for them both, homes and garages and lakefront property. Liberty includes the right to drive from one place to another.
Just who is the master who claims that he should prevent you or me from exercising the rights he would deny us? Perhaps that is the position that you aspire to?
Progressive is a name that a certain variety of policital thieves applied to themselves, and has nothing to do with progress.
Throughout the past century progressives have been fighting to bring social justice, equality, and higher standards of living to people who were being exploited without restriction by large businesses and the rich.
There is no such thing as "social justice". Justice applies only to an individual.
The laws created by "progressives" hurt producers, enlarged government, and restrained technical progress, causing immediate damage to the economiy and long term delay of technical advance. That long term delay can never be made up, and hurts us to this very day and into the future. Your so-called "exploited without restriction" ignores the fact that anyone can leave a job.
The increase in American's standard of living is a testament to the labor movement, the women's right's movement, and the civil rights movement, all of which were part of the progressive movement
The women's rights and (racial) civil rights movements, up until about 1970, did indeed boost the standard of living by legally recognizing the rights of those groups. Since then the movements have been perverted into power grabs. The labor movement has never been anything but a power grab, an attempt to use extortion and physical violence against the owners of productive property.
Before the progressive movement started, the benefits of industrialization were enjoyed only by a very small minority, the super-wealthy capitalists.
History and logic say otherwise. Do you think people left near-starvation-level farms and went to factories for the purpose of making their lives worse ?
Progressives spread these to the workers.
Reality spread the benefits of industrialization to the "workers". I don't have the space here to teach you economics, that's your responsibility.
Although oil production appears to be at a peak, it does not need to be so... yet.
"where's your magical creation of new oil via supply and demand?"
Your insulting language notwithstanding, this is the process: Demand raises prices, higher prices make it economically feasilble to get oil from previously uneconomical sources. It takes time; new resources can't be utilitized the minute prices rise, nor even the same year. In the U.S., it also takes the time to move traitorous and shortsighted polititians to allow new production.
Note that a recent effort to allow new drilling failed along party lines, with Democrats once again voting to cripple the U.S.
Can you name a single president (excepting possibly those who died too early to do anything) who didn't violate the Constitution? We've had some really good presidents, but even Washington, John Adams, and Jefferson violated the constitution.
Trees in the U.S. which are cut down are mostly replaced by new growth. Much of the lumber is used for house construction, which removes that particular bit of carbon from the atmosphere for a fairly long time.

That's why they're taking the cancer-fighting cells from healthy humans, and transfusing them into sick humans.

From the sentence quoted in the summary, it seems that the more aggressive actions of collection agencies would become illegal.
We're not coming out of an ice age because we're still in one. We have persistent ice caps, and that makes this an ice age.
