You'll have to excuse the great unwashed masses (sometime called "the middle class") for being a bit skeptical after being told by our Dear Leader that with a cap and trade system, electricity prices would "necessarily skyrocket". Every cost for the transition from coal and oil is being dropped on the (former) middle class in every scenario.
Let's try doing the hard thing, putting the greatest minds to work figuring out how to do this without violating the civil rights of the people, instead of coming up with half-asses "solutions" and imposing them at the point of a gun.
I have no need to steal land or patronize sex workers, Captain Straw Man.
I don't support the embargo, but every democratic country has the option to choose who it does business with. We should be choosing leaders who will end the embargo. Ironically, you as a socialist should oppose this because you don't believe in a free market.
This is irritating when I watch Mythbusters and the test cars have their logos removed. I'm bothered that they had to waste time doing this when the logos will probably be flying off on their own in the inevitable crash or explosion.
The Chronicle of Philanthropy used an indirect method of gathering statistics by zip code, whereas the CBO numbers are based on actual income reported. Neither method is perfect-- after all, people can lie on their tax returns-- but I could see the previous method being thrown greatly askew by a few wealthy holdouts in an impoverished neighborhood, or donors using the address of their business (which could very easily be smack in the middle of one of these working-class neighborhoods) instead of their residence.
It's no dumber than people who claim the same in reverse for taxes... that as your income goes up, you should be paying a greater percentage of it in taxes.
That would be funny if Fidel Castro had ever accomplished anything except murdering people, stealing property, and fooling a bunch of left-wing Westerners into thinking he had a working Communist paradise.
As I stuffed DD-WRT onto my Netgear router the other day in the hope I wouldn't have to keep rebooting it, I wondered when someone would come up with this sad feature. I didn't have to wait long for my answer.
I miss my Motorolas that would never need to be rebooted. Alas, 802.11g wasn't cutting it anymore.
Are we supposed to listen to random ignoramuses on Slashdot who assume that it's 1970 and American cars still don't corner well? Corvette skidpad: 1.03 G. Porsche 911 skidpad: 0.99.
Compared to what? Your 1989 Civic with the fart pipe?
You don't keep a marque going for 61 years by cranking out tired junk. Look at its competition, which is all priced far higher (including the Dodge/SRT Viper), yet the Corvette still manages to beat them in value and most performance metrics.
the idiots who think that turning on their high beams any time that there isn't an oncoming car is a good idea
So when is a good time? I use a flagger who walks in front of my car. If he doesn't see anyone walking his dog, he gives me the signal to turn on the brights.
It was a joke, based on the fact that having a large number of students with an IQ slightly above 100, but a tiny handful with extremely low scores, could skew the mean.
Internet atheists go out of their way to show that God is evil and vengeful. Then, when the truth that he is forgiving arises, they criticize that as a "get out of jail free card".

As it should be, because you are a time-wasting, inflammatory troll.
Then why is it that the EPA is regulating carbon dioxide emissions for wood burning stoves and furnaces?
No, he said "the Democrats" and included the President, implying a federal intervention.

They aren't even nonprofit, actually.

Because geography and astronomy are two different fields of study?

The Castros stole the private property of citizens and foreigners, alike.
Nice strawman. Regardless, it would STILL be better for the citizens than what they have now.

You are incorrect. It's my new open-source OS, VXINLX (aka VX is not linux) that is, of course, not Linux.
How to pronounce VXINLX is left as an exercise for the reader.
Join me, and we will h4x the galaxy as router and LAN.

"Merc" is short for Mercury.
"Benz" is short for Mercedes-Benz.
Thank you,

Lasers? They won't even penetrate the navigational deflectors on my Galaxy-class.

The Christian god doesn't send you to hell because you're bad. If he did, everyone would go to hell.
Once you understand this, you are on your way to understanding the nature of God.
Your math skills tell me that you probably went to public school.
