Speaking of -40 degrees, the hidden victims here are those of us trying to heat our homes. I have a house that is insulated to R30-- minimal now, but tops in the 1980s-- with a radiant barrier, programmable thermostats, and I still burn 140-160 gallons of heating oil every winter month. My last delivery cost almost $600. I plan to bring it up a minimum of R49, but that does cost money and take time. A reasonable long-term solution is to switch to natural gas, which is amazingly cheap now, but the environmental lobby is doing its best to put a stop to that (admittedly there is a concern about the content of the fracking fluids). Europe doesn't have any real solutions other than to make people move into urban high-rises or make "rich" people pay for everything.
But Europe has created its own "unsustainable" problem with high gas taxes. That's one of the great features of socialism: create a problem, then create a government solution for it.
And that's why we built a Faraday cage around our mail room. Unfortunately, someone sent us an iPhone with a Sony battery and it burned the place down.
Well, everyone let it happen with the Tea Party. They didn't really like the Tea Party message, so the left let it be drowned out by accusations of racism and violence.
Slingshots are illegal to carry in NJ. Since even The Situation isn't dumb enough to actually consider something kids use to harass squirrels a menace, the guess is that this very old law actually refers to a slungshot, and some dummy just misspelled it. Regardless, no one ever tried to fix it and to this day you can't buy a slingshot in NJ. I'm sure that police occasionally have used it as an excuse to ruin the life of some kid they were annoyed by and couldn't find a real crime to charge them with.
1. Easier to tell Michael Westmore's humanoids apart with greater detail in head ridges 2. Enterprise-D now runs on heavily subsidized solar power instead of warp reactors from Big Antimatter 3.

You know, if I had a way to pick the pockets of fat cats while giving me the time to spend volunteering in third world countries or doing explorative expeditions - I just might.
I wouldn't, because it's still immoral. Everyday people use Bosch tools and parts, and ride Harleys... you're indirectly giving them the finger, too. When I think of immoral "fat cat" companies, Bosch and Harley-Davidson don't usually come to mind. Harley runs a non-profit foundation and the Bosch brand is actually owned by a private non-profit company.
I would have given them a more reasonable, but still lucrative rate (Like $150/hr) and done it. I would have felt just as satisfied putting their money in my bank account as I would have in picturing them laboring for hours to recreate the system. I would have also worried about them doing something foolish, but damaging nonetheless, like suing me. After all, they could have claimed you put a dead man's switch in the code or something.
Congratulations, you now have a weapon that is considered dangerous by the government of New Jersey and illegal to possess. Slingshot, slungshot, what's the diff, right?
You don't understand what a bill of attainder is. A felon isn't a race, creed, religion, or association. And anyone who has been tried, convicted, and sentenced has certainly experienced due process. We're talking about persons who have NOT been convicted of any crime in the judicial system, but have had their rights to life, liberty, or property curtailed nonetheless. What you are talking about is a separate issue.
Those are contained in civil and criminal law. I understand, our own elected representatives seem to have trouble figuring out what laws they can pass and what requires a constitutional amendment.
Some are like that, but I oppose involuntary vaccinations on principle. And if we're all good little progressives here, shouldn't we oppose the compulsory Gardisil because it's patented? Corporations being evil, and all.

Yes, I'm sure Eisenhower had his hand in the pockets of Big Auto.
I don't recall any French or British fighting in the Civil war. I'm pretty sure not a single country recognized the CSA, for starters.
Don't you think you should know what "primaries" are before you poke fun at them?
The token ring version comes from a more civilized time, when the ports must take turns hitting each other. Fisticuffs!
Please let the radical gun control advocates know.

And then you get hosed every 100... except when it's every 400.
It's called "progress". Everyone looks bad when they're compared to utopia.

Its already been done, but I think the French ended up killing a bunch of people first.

Like the one with Ashley Judd, because it has Ashley Judd.

That's funny... I always hear progressives saying they also support our troops. Are you telling me I'm wrong, and only "conservative dickweeds" do?
Definitely a better use of their time than chanting about the President's love of team sports.
Everyone knows that Apple only makes electric stoves!

I think you should form your opinions based on something other than the comments on Fox News or Huffington Post articles.
