No single pair of ancestors? Fine, that's science. No apple? That fruit is not in Genesis chapter 3... darn public school cutbacks must have fused religious art appreciation and theology into one class. No fall from grace? Well, it's pretty obvious that part has nothing to do with anthropology, and is pretty darn consistent with what we know about psychology.
I'm not a fan of Perry myself, but I can't help but notice the trolls that come out of the woodwork whenever a new presidential candidate appears. It's almost as if someone's setting them off.
Do you really think teachers are the only ones having trouble finding work near their homes? You might have to move: I don't like it either, but things are hard right now. And your $27,000 starting salary sounds pretty good for slightly more than nine months work, with great benefits that you have to pay little or nothing for. That's like $36,000 a year. You can't find work for the other three months? Teachers have been doing this forever. People don't go into teaching to get rich. Well, frankly, no one should ever go into a career to get rich... getting rich is for people who want to start their own business or invest.
Private interests used to build roads. Look up the Lincoln Highway, for example. The bad side? They charged tolls, so instead, we pay road taxes (on gasoline and diesel, mostly). Except OOPS now the state governments are charging us tolls on top of that anyway.
I just paid $1600 for two prescriptions that certainly don't cast that much to make, not even close. But, because no one stops them they charge what they want.
It's called R&D. And when the patents expire, the generics appear and the free market forces stop them from charging what they want. Should the patents be shorter? I'd be willing to talk about that. But we'd have to make sure there's enough time for the companies to make a profit after they go thorough all the research, testing, and FDA approval costs.
We just had a showdown in our congress where the rich won, badly needed social programs will be cut so that the rich can enjoy the lowest taxes in decades.
Thanks for lying but no, that didn't happen. The last time any "entitlements" were cut was when Obamacare was passed. You see, Obamacare cut Medicare. Also, it took away the OTC drug benefit from HSA accounts and lowered the savings cap-- because after all, the government wants you to spend, not save. That would put the power and responsibility for your health in your own hands, instead of the government's.
In the USA, part of the union dues are supposed to be set aside so that the workers can still be paid (by the union) while on strike. Our union bosses are already fat cats even with this arrangement; I can't imagine the corpulence of the bosses over in Europe if they can keep all the dues for themselves at the expense of free enterprise.
1. Union goes on strike. 2. Union uses dues to pay off judge and get a favorable judgement so they can continue to collect pay for not working. 3. PROFIT
My Motorola DVR with Comcast doesn't behave that way. Now mind you, it wouldn't qualify as reliable because I've had it get "stuck" in FFWD a few times, but that's a bug, not a "feature".
Jay Leno is a steam car nut. He described driving one as like "being pushed by the hand of god." They were nearly silent, and a Stanley Steamer held the land speed record for some time. The Dobles were more refined than some of the diesel passenger cars of the 1970s. Turn the key, wait 30-40 seconds to depart, and WOOOOSH. No clutch or transmission.
Steam cars, starting with the late Stanleys and continuing with the Dobles, had condensors. They ran several hundred up to 1,500 miles before needing to have their tanks filled (around 25 gallons).
The propaganda machine is running full steam and full press. They will stir up violence here, I will bet money on it. They stirred that one idiot to shoot that little girl and congresswoman.
The man was ill, and never claimed Fox News motivated him. Besides, are you one of the folks who really think violent movies and games make people kill?

Is he president right now? No? Wow, some people should listen to themselves.
So you're hoping they'll become either dismissive or willfully ignorant?

I think it has something to do with that "collective salvation" think our President has been crowing about.
Redistribution of wealth is not charity.

You mean in Europe? So in which country do you live: one of the ones that is being bailed out, or one that is doing the bailing?

Have ya noticed the economy? Have ya?

I assume that, in the old dueling tradition, his opponent gets to choose the mod. I recommend INSTAGIB.
I hear someone took a double-dose of his prescribed oxycodone and almost killed himself. He's the poster child for why we should ban all painkillers.
Someone pilfered a bastard sword, golden dwarven ring, and 150,000 gold coins from another player on my DikuMUD yesterday.
Because it says so on the box? Because the nutrition is in the mass, not the air?
Why the heck aren't you working from home?
Whoa... you only get 20,000 miles out of a set of tires? What, do you autocross on the side?

The Doble steam cars got over 15 MPG on kerosene about 90 years ago. I'm sure we could build a better small turbine now.
