You're right. He basically didn't do squat, except act as a mediocre project manager who likes to say redundant humdingers like "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives" that any non-progressive would be lampooned for uttering.
Invariably? As a former sysadmin for what was an eight year old VAX at the time, I can assure you that we were able to completely shut down the hardware at least once while I was there-- disks and everything. The VAX had been booted for over a year and the disks and controllers for THREE.
Reagan left office over twenty years ago, and we're still blaming things on him? Well, then he deserves to get credit for everything that happened since 1981, including the great prosperity between 1993 and 1999. Should we "blame" that on Reagan?
I don't support licensing because we don't need licenses to use our other rights, although they are arguably infringing with items such as needing a permit to have a protest. Imagine if you needed a license to practice your religion or write an article for the newspaper.
Sorry, but this is Slashdot, where logical fallacies like the ad hominem, straw man, post hoc ergo propter hoc, and the like are the standard tools of the master-debater.
That is extremely misleading. If you take the look at the chart [wikimedia.org] of local temperature average and then tell me "The temperature is decreasing, actually"... Technically you aren't actually lying but either you are very close to that or very stupid.
Calling people stupid doesn't win your argument. And the chart you showed indicates a sideways trend since 2000. Maybe you're the stupid one who can't read a chart.
We haven't even spent CLOSE to a trillion dollars in Iraq. Even Iraq and Afghanistan together cost less. To put it in perspective, it's about $680 billion spent over eight years, while Obama and Congress found a way to spend over a trillion in a FEW MONTHS.
The thing is, pollutants like arsenic are readily traceable to health issues; not only can't scientists prove that human-produced CO2 is making the earth warmer, but they can't even prove it IS getting warmer (it hasn't since 1998)! It's like trying to solve a murder without a body, but even worse, you're not even sure the victim actually existed.
It's working in that Germany's emissions are now below the Kyoto accord requirements [dw-world.de]. All this, yet Germany's economy is recovering from their recession
Their enigmatic "business index" rose last month for the first time this year. That's not enough to declare a recovering trend. Their unemployment rate is still a horrible 9.1%.
You cannot honestly believe that the US government, which depends on tax revenue from American businesses and their employees, would intentionally handicap said businesses?
Not all of them; just the ones who don't play along. Carbon credits will become the new, ultra-regressive tax-- eliminating all the small and medium businesses (you know, the ones that employ most Americans) in the favor of mega-corps like GE/NBC who are in the pocket of the Feds.

We have laws against libel and slander for that. We don't need the state deciding what's "hate" speech.

Thanks for the WHOOSH, Lt. Commander Data.

Opinions: everyone has them. Yours is no better than anyone elses-- that is, if we really speaking logically.
That movie needs more cowbell.
It could easily be argued that choosing to live in the face of enduring pain is brave. Many cultures believe that suicide is cowardly for this reason.
Chewbacca on the moon? That just doesn't make any sense.
One doesn't need to guard the compost heap.
2005 was last year? Shut up, troll.
Thanks, Yogi Berra!
Unfortunately, the Beowulf cluster went up in smoke.

How do you tell the stuff that's used in integrated circuits (element 14 on the periodic table) apart from fake boobies, then?
This is why a buyer is supposed to get his own inspector.
This is the straw-man you inserted as the prop for your invalid argument.
