No one can stop you from praying in school. Shut up and pray SILENTLY. Do not disturb people who are there to learn. Do not have the whole class reciting a prayer out loud, led by the teacher, implicitly threatening those who do not want to participate.
Prayer in state (public) schools is government endorsement of a particular religion. For a youngster not a member of that particular religion, such prayer is a chilling reminder that he is opposed by the ruling clique.
It's only been a couple of years since a man in Texas was jailed (!) for refusing to take a God-oath for jury duty.
School prayer is obvious evidence of a threat to the life and liberty of atheists.
By Chewbacca defense I assume you mean "he'll tear your arm off." That's argumentum ad baculum (argument by walking stick, i.e. threat of force).
The big lie technique does not fit into that category.
Ashcroft is a nut case; his statements should be discarded without further consideration.
First, multiplex the multiple lines down to just a few (you're going to have to do this anyway). Second, do the signal processing only on the few resulting lines.
About 15 years ago I had a conversation with a Ford engineer who claimed that the cat converters are no longer a significant source of backpressure compared to the muffler. Given that IC engines are more efficient than ever, and 400 HP car engines are readily available for those willing to spend the money, cat converters can no longer be considered a serious degrader of efficiency or power.
A few years ago, the reduction in sunlight (caused by pollution) reaching crops in China reduced the value of agricultural output by more than the gains produced by the sources of the pollution. So of course they're reducing pollution, because it makes economic sense.
This "exploiting of natural resources" is called civilization, and "those who have been gentler towards the planet" are primitives living in igloos or mud huts.
Kyoto is a massive fraud: based on false assumptions, it won't "fix" the "problem" it claims to address.
Increased Polution controls creates jobs, not destroys.
Sorry, this is just a disguised version of the broken window falacy. People who get jobs making polution controls are being diverted from the ultimate goal of all employment, making consumer goods.
Please look at Halliburton financials. They are losing money hand over fist. Even if they turned all revenue into profit, it wouldn't make financial sense to have a war waged for their benefit. And if the war were for oil, we would have simply wiped out the whole population of Iran and started pumping, instead of rebuilding the country.
Europe's gasoline prices are high because the various governments rip off the public by taxing fuel at absurd rates.
Hunger is not a problem, it is a proper body function notifying the body that it's time to eat. Starvation is not a modern scientific problem, it is a political problem restricted to tyrannies.
Assuming that by North America you mean the USA, and that by "more than two presidential candidates" you mean more than 2 with some realistic chance of being elected, there's still:
Such a government is one of the scariest things I can imagine. It is, literally, mob rule. There are no standards for proper behavior nor methods to enforce it. That's why we have "a government of law, not men."
Rose patents have ben around for a long time. The prohibition on propagation refers only to asexual reproduction (by cuttings, etc.) during the life of the patent. You're pretty much free to grow seeds from that rose (not easy) since they seldom breed true.
Your point is valid, but it works both ways. Under Windows, my Matrox Marvel G200TV captures TV video at half resolution - 240 lines - and fakes higher resolution by interpolating. No software is available to fix this glaring defect. Under Linux, capture resolution is full 480 lines.
SOI has been around for a long time. It was used in advanced DTL logic in the 1960s. Even if AMD wasn't using SOI in April 2001, that doesn't mean they couldn't have thought ahead.
Asphyxiation is rarely a problem unless you're using an awful lot of LN2 or have poor air circulation. I've used coolers with liquid CO2 and they are a nuisance. The high concentration of CO2 in the air forms carbonic acid on contact with water - such as the tears that lubricate your eyes. I suppose the stinging sensation is at least an early warning system for too much CO2 in the air you breath.

Taking the lead in the economic suicide represented by Kyoto is something we don't have any use for.

ENTITLED TO? By what or whom? For what, failing to develop a civilization? Your concept is floating in the clouds, without basis in reality.
Economic: both parties win, whining to the contrary notwithstanding.
Moral: It's my right to deal with whomever I choose, and it's NOT your right (or the government's) to prevent me from doing so.

And you posted as AC for what reason?

Brutish, short, and nasty.

In all likelihood, we'll also have nuclear fusion as a power source within the next hundred years. That's a energy source that will last a long time.
rm -i is the default alias for rm in many Linux distributions, including Red Hat 8.0
So you've never tossed playing cards?

What information? Null set.

Incompetent doctors get sued often.
Doctors performing risky procedures have higher failure rates and get sued more often.
I've seen interviews with doctors who have begun refusing to do risky procedures due to the chance of suits.
