While your proposed reforms are interesting, they would require a constitutional amendment which would be very stongly opposed (of course it would be opposed by, who else, the business lobby!).
Current case law rules that $ = speech and corporations = people.
Um, yes. Read my post again. You also forgot petition, tool. We were talking about the first three items IN THE FIRST AMENDMENT, not the first three amendments.
The first 3 are the 3 that the general public knows (religion, speech, press).. so if the question did ask "first three" it wouldn't be that much different than "any three" because most people are going to answer the same either way.
If you want to play intellectual jujitsu, you could still be libertarian when it comes to personal drug use. However, to combat the meth problem you have to be decidedly non-libertarian on the business side (restricting the production and sale of pseudoephedrine).
In general, I don't take meds.. But there are times where you may have an event or other very good reason to not be constantly sneezing and blowing your nose.
Look, there's a lot of info out there about how caps don't work. I pasted but two sentences. If you don't want to believe me, take a look for yourself.
who's blaming anyone? as the public, we should have some more information and debate. in your world, 'innocent until proven guilty' means that they wouldn't have been able to ask OJ any questions!
Not really. The more people you tell, the more avenues you have for leaks. For this reason, secret information is (generally) kept to the minimum number of people necessary. I'm saying that this uncle probably wasn't one of those necessary people.
Unless your uncle was the chair or ranking member of the Intellience Committee, there's no requirement for him to have been informed of the strikes, iirc, for obvious security reasons.
I don't trust the govt to manage something that important
Well, I don't trust corporations to manage something that important. Looks like we have a problem. Also, you don't trust the government with health care.. what about the military and other national security matters?
Also, limiting the max awards (mostly punitive) on malpractice suits would help too.
Nope. Where caps were put in place, there was no positive effect on the cost of malpractice insurance or medical care in general.
"In states with caps, the median annual premium went up by 48.2%, but, surprisingly, in states without caps, the median annual premium increased at a slower clip--by 35.9%."
"Do caps on medical malpractice damage awards hold down doctors' liability insurance premiums? The nation's largest medical malpractice insurer says they don't."
I don't want lower taxes, better public transportation, or *gasp* national health care.
One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others By the time I finish my song?
That way I know about and accept the risk I want to take instead of the unknown.
You accept the risk once you open that network to the public. While this is a questionable class assignment, if your system is ruined by a port scan, you've got other things to do than post on slashdot.
This seems to indicate that income tax makes up at least a plurality of revenue.
While you may have a 10th amendment argument, the Constitution that SCOTUS uses does not include a 10th amendment, so good luck with that one. Further, "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States" has been interpretted to include education. Art I, Sec. 8.
(Admittedly I prefer when professors don't use PowerPoint. Do it on a marker board if you must write something. PPT is too lazy.)
Not everyone has good handwriting, especially on a large-scale like a marker/chalkboard. I had some professors where we constantly had to have them translate the chalkboard.. would have much preferred a PPT there!
Do you support a repeal of the standing military, as well? That's 15% of the budget right there (and that number doesn't include spending for Iraqistan).
Do you have 7,544 executables otherwise on your system? (Or roughly 15,000 executables total)
From your description this sounds so inane I just can't believe they would have implemented a system like this (granted, MS has made smoe boneheaded moves in the past...).. and I can't really figure out the point of copying the executable.

Yes, you are. If you're going to use email for business, don't be surprised if it comes back to bite you in the ass.

There's a difference between pronouncing guilt and demanding more information.
Not really. The more people you tell, the more avenues you have for leaks. For this reason, secret information is (generally) kept to the minimum number of people necessary. I'm saying that this uncle probably wasn't one of those necessary people.

FYI, Monk is several years old now. It's been bounced around various networks, which gives it the appearance of being new.
Good luck on your changes to planning/zoning ordinances.

I know the ideas arent exactly mutually exclusive.. but my reply was more fun.

No, that is unethical.
Congrats! You've just won today's stupidest analogy award!

In any case, education is roughly 2% of spending.

However, Public Radio is leftist. Period.
Only because, in this day and age, facts are considered leftist.
What state did you attend high school in?

I don't buy it. The total size of .exe files on my system is 500 MB (~1,300 files).
