Of course! Not having to worry about job availability, students can major in Mesopotamian folk music and minor in vaginas. No reason to study difficult stuff. In 30 years, there will be no engineers, no mathematicians, and no doctors to provide free health service. At least there won't be any lawyers.
The protection of the President has improved for obvious reasons.
Since your post implies that you have some sort of moral standard by which you determine that Trump is worse than JFK, it's clear that your education is lacking. The males of the political Kennedy family were, among other things, rapists. Do some research.
There's more than one elective office at stake. Vote for Representative and Senator. Vote in state, county, and local elections. Vote for school budgets, or whatever else is happening. Some elections do turn on a single vote.
Evidence was recently released that in just one town in New Hampshire, there were enough fraudulent votes that had those votes not been cast, the new Senator from N.H. would not be a Democrat. This was in a college town, where most of the fraudulent voters would have been students, who vote overwhelmingly Democrat.
It's the United States of America, not the United People of America.
Have you read "Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds"? Do you want the nation's policies determined by the sort of people who would trade a year's wages for a tulip bulb?
Any sole source of power is dangerous to the well-being of most people. A successful rabble-rouser is deadly. A mob is deadly. A mob is made up of some of the country's own citizens, and I certainly want protection from a mob.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed . ..---Declaration of Independence
Note that the purpose is "to secure these rights". Rights take precedent over the consent of the governed.
>>The U.S. government isn't trying to make a profit on your insurance so they are... more likely to keep costs in check. Did you think about what you posted? Do you see how idiotic it is?
Building relationships in government is called cronyism, a form of corruption.
This is why protections against firing the bureaucracy should be removed.. Nobody outside the military should have lifetime employment in the federal government.
One characteristic of rights is that they still exist in the absence of other people. Your right to free speech cannot be violated if there is nobody to violate it.
In contrast, free medical care requires other people to provide it, therefor it is not a right.
There are talk radio stations, NPR, and (egads) Christian radio stations. That hardly constitutes a homogenized opinion source. Then there are the music radio stations, whose listeners change stations when the music stops, so they get no opinion from the radio.
Bond issues are frequently on ballots. They usually succeed. If you vote for them, you're voting away your freedom to keep your own money. Other examples of voting away your freedom are more subtle.
At least half of the 16 or so primary opponents of Trump could have beaten Hillary. Although Trump has a large and very enthusiastic base, he has a personality almost as odious as Hillary has. The many people who voted against Trump (as distinguished from those who voted for Hillary) or who stayed home, because of his personality, could easily have voted for one of the following: Cruz, Carson, Kasich, Rubio, Fiorina, Gilmore, Santorum, Perry, Jindal, Pataki.
Audible sound can damage nerves in the ear. Ultrasonic waves might be audible if they're powerful enough to drive the ear (or the air) into nonlinearity, but if the subject moves his head away from a local maximum or just turns his head to that the waves don't enter his ear well then they become inaudible. Perhaps the ultrasonics can cause localized heating in the ear's nerves and damage them, without being audible.
Deep brain damage? The shape of the skull might focus the ultrasonic waves.
A good argument can also be made for electromagnetic microwaves, which have killed humans by heating. A beam focused on your head could easily cause brain damage. A similar argument can be made for x-rays, although that might cause visible skin reddening at the power levels necessary to cause brain damage.

As you get older, the places most prone to cavities get fillings. They don't get cavities again unless the fillings fail.
There's always going to be a bit of reflection upwards.
Lasers are narrow spectrum. The Mako Shark was a Corvette concept car. A meme come true.
When you get home, have someone examine your body for ticks.
I saw that the people around me weren't as smart as I was. Cheating would have been futile.
Television also helps. Gives them something to do when the sun goes down.

The article you cite gives the average payback, not the median.
You were too stupid to fake it? Deface your ballot. Write in a person. Vote third party. Leave the President line blank.

Write and mail a letter. Use a telephone. You don't have to have your nervous systems fused together to keep in touch.

Bernie would have fared as well as McGovern. Leftist loons don't appeal to enough voters.

We've already had two terrible Presidents named Johnson. This is not a mistake that should be repeated.
You have someone particular in mind? I suspect you like the communist from Vermont with multiple mansions.

You misread the post you responded to. There is a difference between people born here and people brought here as infants.
