"So when did making a buck off me start to take precedence over everything in the Bill of Rights?"
Before the Civil War. In fact, a large part of the civil war wasn't about slavery- it was about the right of the federal government to say which parts of the constitution MATTER.
It was soon after that (well, within 20 years) that we got one national currency, corporations as people, and all the other claptrap that means that opting out of the market in subsidiarity and solidarity is illegal.
Not knowing what Verizon uses for bands, looks to me like the cheapest he'd get away with on that site is $79.95. Remember, he is 3 hours from the nearest town.
Should work with any smart phone that has "USB Memory" mode.
In my wife's van, though, I need to be actively listening to my MP3s off of my phone to use it for recharging. The port has no power unless the stereo is in USB mode.
"TCP/IP is what everyone else uses. If we weren't using it, we'd be using something else. It's like MP3: there were lots of competing standards, and the first one that's "good enough" will often dominate."
The reason everybody uses TCP/IP is because it is robust. The reason it is robust is because it was a DARPA project with a direct requirement of being able to route packets around a nuclear blast in the middle of the backbone.
The competing private industry version was Fidonet, which was based on late night long distance phone calls, and if your immediate upstream node went dead, NO messages got through.
If the plot of land is significantly secluded (say, the top of a Mesa with 300 foot cliffs in all directions), then not only would that explain the isolation, but it would also make military defense drop dead simple against anything short of a modern cruise missile.
And with an adze and a lot of time, possibly even that.
Then I would put in a bid to ONLY update the weather when an alert comes out or at startup (do you really need to check your server several times a day when it is running)? And any adverts should be downloaded at the same time.
There are lots of local clock cycles, but storage and network are still bottlenecks for most American users.
Could have sworn St. John was writing about this on Patemos back in the 90s. That is the 0090s for those four-digit-year software engineers who never bothered to study history let alone religion.
"It's all a stupid side show that distracts attention away from the looming financial catastrophe."
Which is exactly why the Libyan Ambassador had to be sacrificed and why Obama started the Birther nonsense and why he allows idiots to create petitions on his website to begin with.
Either that- or he simply has an alternate theory of how a democracy should work. But I think the result would be the same, because by far 5 banks in New York City own the majority of land in the United States.
I'm anti-abortion because I oppose technical intrusion into matters of life and death. Has nothing to do with who created what.
An artificial womb is a technical intrusion into creating human life.
Completely intellectually viable.
Now contrast that with a Malthusian materialist supporting IVF or artificial wombs- or even in fact, any action other than suicide. The world is already overpopulated, says the Malthusian, causing global warming and a myriad of other problems. How can a pro-abortion Malthusian possibly support creating more people? Obviously, the ideal would be the human race going extinct- because we're a Malevolent Species.

"that even the most minimalist state provides."
Try to get those services in Somalia.

Just a magic box that we borrow money from that takes care of us, at least since 1873 or so.

How did you post this without using the NSF Backbone and the Internet?

Didn't the recent Hobby Lobby decision do away with the constitutionality of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act?

Where do you live? There are quite a few in Oregon and Washington, and I bet they were instrumental in Washington's recent pot law change.

Not quite, because thanks to the housing bust, Democrats own all the land. Republicans just have mortgages and foreclosures.
How much thinner? He won by less than the statistical error!

I've noticed that urban populations, just because they have more people, never seem to recognize that maybe people live outside the city too.
Which is exactly why I support Cascadia Separation. Why the hell are we sending $4 billion extra to all those free loaders?
"what a disaster the "personhood" amendment would be"
Because of course, we need the right to kill inconvenient people.
The extreme ends. Certainly the extreme ends.

See the problem?
Which gets us back to good old fashioned fucking, doesn't it?
Oh yeah, except there's another group of humans working hard to destroy female fertility for everybody.
Except, of course, for the theological problem that these would be MAN'S creation, not GOD'S.
Why are pro-choicers always so intellectually dishonest?
These scientists...They only ask if they could, they never ask if they SHOULD.
Really? My local hardware store has a full aisle of metric.
