There are fires burning all over Colorado and Utah because of the very dry conditions. This one might have been caused by target shooters, but where's the outrage against the causes of all the other fires? Most are caused by campfires, burning trash, tossed cigarettes, lightning, railroad trains, etc. Target shooting is way down on the list of threats.
Demand is low because we're in a world wide recession. They'll go back up when the economy recovers, but that could be a while because we're still coming down off the 90's bubble which knocked everything out of line.

Much of the debate about American unemployment has focused on why companies have moved factories overseas, but only 8 percent of the American work force is in manufacturing, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Yea, that's the problem...Duh. People need jobs, so they work retail.
Yes, absolutely. Many grasses produce cyanide (usually called prussic acid by farmers). It's common and avoidable (Pro tip: never, ever let livestock graze near cherry trees. Wilted cherry leaves contain toxic levels of prussic acid). Plus this is not a GM plant, it's a hybrid.
No, that's the problem with a government that meddles in things it shouldn't. Moore is spouting the liberals' party line: Let big government decide what's best for all you little people.
I worked in a place where they did measuring and positioning based on satellite imagery. The sign on the door to their room said "Mensuration", which caused a lot of double takes and giggling.
Microsoft couldn't do this in the past because they were already defending themselves against charges of being a monopoly. Now that Apple has gained enough market share Microsoft is free to do whatever they want.
There will be Haves and Have Nots in any economic system you can name. Socialist, feudal, capitalist; it's only a matter of how much is controlled by people inside the government versus how much is left in private hands, nothing more.
If you are successful and at the head of your market then fear of change is natural
If you have a successful business you would be silly to abandon it unless you replace it with something better. The author's alternatives are better for the consumer who wants stuff for free, but not for the producers of that content who are in business to make a profit. It has nothing to do with fear.
If you read the letter from the IG, all he says is that he can't answer the question in an *unclassified* letter. He then goes on to point the senators to classified reports that contain most of what they're looking for; basically that sometimes they collect information and learn afterwards that the person wasn't where they thought (inside the US, so the data shouldn't have been collected). Of course if you choose not to believe anything he says then there's no reason to RTFA anyway.
From the article it sounds like RIM decided to drop them as a manufacturer. Maybe move to China, maybe move to Android or Windows based phones, maybe go bust. We'll see.
the union representing about 45 CBSA employees at the airport is concerned personal workplace conversations and remarks could be captured and become part of employees' official record...A 2008 RCMP report said at least 58 crime groups were believed active at major airports, typically by corrupting airport employees or placing criminal associates in airport jobs to move narcotics and other contraband to and from planes.
Sounds like the employees are more scared than the terrorists.

Iraq war for oil
Please. Saddam was pumping as much oil out of the ground as he could. Nothing the US could do would add any more of Iraq's oil to the world's supply.
Depends on who you mean by "we". Much of the oil imported by the US is refined and exported as gasoline and diesel fuel; China imports a lot of it.
Liu Wang took charge of the operation, while Liu Yang conducted aerospace experiments
... and Jing Haipeng was heard singing "Louie, Louie" in the background.

/s/The Monsanto Group/University of Georgia/
University of Georgia at Tifton and USDA, Monsanto is not involved at all.
still believing the anti-GM crowd must be nuts?
Yes, absolutely. Many grasses produce cyanide (usually called prussic acid by farmers). It's common and avoidable (Pro tip: never, ever let livestock graze near cherry trees. Wilted cherry leaves contain toxic levels of prussic acid). Plus this is not a GM plant, it's a hybrid.
Prussic acid poisoning happens when conditions are right, and this farmer did everything right. And CBS is totally wrong calling an F1 hybrid "GM".
tax cuts certainly didn't help the situation (they made it worse)
They didn't help the deficit, but they did keep the country from slipping further into recession than it already was when he took office.
Obama isn't spineless
Yes, he is. Every discussion of why his administration is such a failure starts with him or his delegate saying "I blame Bush".
Larry Page has Laryngitis...hehe
Buy a laptop and install LAMP
That's the trouble with capitalism.
No, that's the problem with a government that meddles in things it shouldn't. Moore is spouting the liberals' party line: Let big government decide what's best for all you little people.

That would make the circle complete.

You're free to make a copy of it and live in that one.
Not usually. Most often the house was designed by an architect who still owns the copyright. Kinda like when a musician or artist creates something.

You mean like these projects?
funds 2.5 private space
What's private about something that requires government funding?
