That kind of depends on your definition of "normal yard", right? I have a total of 0.8 acres of land. Probably.4-.5 of it is covered by my house, a shed, a stream, driveway, and woods, so I only need to mow about a half acre. That used to take me three hours with a 21" walk-behind. I bought a used lawn tractor and it now takes me half the time. It would probably take me even less time if I didn't have so many trees, the shed, various parts of my overly complicated septic system, etc. in my way.
Not everyone has a tiny little yard, and not everyone buys a lawn tractor. Home Depot has many because not everyone has the same amount of money to spend or the same needs. Do you go to Best Buy and complain that not everyone needs one of those 50" TVs?
They took away the lives of other people. The idea of a limited democratic government is that its main function should be to defend the rights of the people.
I think that's why the word "local" was used. LOCAL. The real problem we have right now are the people who want to enact change globally and nationally for small problems that need to be managed locally, where the people maintain the most power.
One of the things that was an unintended (hopefully) consequences of the cash for clunkers is it wiped out the used car market.
No, it was intended. That result is far too obvious for our brilliant legislators and president to miss... unless they're idiots. In which case, you're a racist, or something.
The Texans fought for their own independence. Sure, many of them weren't supposed to be there... but we have a bunch of people in the US who aren't supposed to be here de jure and it's now fashionable to call people who want to do something about it (other than amnesty... again) "prejudiced".
Let's be honest: even the BBC has garbage shows that people want to like, because it makes them feel like better citizens.
If there were more than WOW FIVE CHANNELS, the amount of trash would be more evident. I personally like Dr. Who and Top Gear, but the fact that BBC America finds the need to air ST:TNG reruns is telling.
I don't see a big difference between the "TV licence" and simply confiscating the funds through taxes, as is done here through funding the amusingly named "Corporation for Public Broadcasting". You don't have any real control over what the BBC does and don't benefit from its success, and we don't have any real control over PBS or benefit from the taxes we pay to support it. It's simple.
Just like changing the annual funding increase for a program from 10% to 5% isn't a "cut", being opposed to subsidies isn't an "attack" on green energy.
This is a frivilous lawsuit, and an embarrassment to the global community.
Unless they want to sue Bill Clinton, because it was under his administration that the dismantling of the stockpile leveled off.
Even under W, who at the very least saw that traditional nuclear weapons (as opposed to tactical warheads) were not worth the hazard, we reduced the stockpile by half.
In New Jersey, an acquaintance lost her driver's license because, after passing multiple breathalyzer tests in front of two cops, she refused to allow them to take her back to the station to be tested there. Being brought back to the station in a police car is de facto arrest, but somehow the judge didn't think this mattered and was perfectly happy to cause a mother who wasn't driving drunk and had a clean record to lose her license and her job.
So how do those who identify as "liberal" like Scalia now, I wonder?
He is firmly in the correct camp. I am not afraid of siding with Ginsberg, Sotomayor, and Kagan if they're correct. And they certainly are! There was no need for the search.
History dictates that Obama will declare "executive privilege" or some other nonsense. He has already done this for himself and his AG; the latter currently in contempt of an ineffective Congress which is unlikely to do anything about it. With a Democratic Senate, there will be no impeachment.
These are the facts, and I commend all of you who could read them before down-moderation.
The STATE government require you to have car insurance. You can avoid it by not driving a car, or by going to a state with lower or no requirements. Is there anywhere in the USA you can live without health insurance now? You are "taxed" for breathing.
Yes you will-- he'll be standing next to the President on his daily fundraising speech. What we never see are the thousands of people who can't afford their premiums for plans that don't actually cover anything until you've spent $50,000.
I feel that there's something wrong when a powerful lobby is fighting to make Hobby Lobby pay for abortions but doesn't mind people having to pay for their own prostheses.

Don't make this about comparative religions.
No, you're not wrong to have an opinion-- it's just that your opinion might be wrong.
Stop acting like a victim just because people disagree with you. Is that an official logical fallacy? "Appeal to victimhood?"
Shaka... when the walls fell.

Yeah, except that Jesus' name in Greek starts with an "I" and in Hebrew and Aramaic with a "Y".
Weird AC post, for sure. Every day, a new conspiracy theory.
Well, Win2K3 SP2 is still supported, and it can run IE 6. That doesn't mean IE 6 should be supported, but they do mention it in the KB article.

Fantastic old-school post from someone with a high six-digit ID. Although, I guess a sixer counts as a old-timer now.
I'm going to get ahead of the game and work on that "heat death of the universe" limit.
*swish*
Not always.
Only if management is stupid. My company has many, many people who earn squarely upper-middle class, and they almost never step foot in an office.
No. He was saying that if a door exists, there must be some way of opening it. If it's locked, then it must be unlockable.

I used to be a scientist like you, until I took a marshmallow in the eye.
