    Again, they don't.
    The US is number one, per capita.
    One could also argue that training matters. You mentioned having a gun for military purposes, I'm assuming you've been trained in how to properly store/clean/operate it.
    Lots of people in the US never bother with this.

    This. it's like any number of things people disagree with: guns, abortion, whatever: legislate it enough, make it difficult enough, it goes away.

    I'm going to risk getting hammered for this, but the Ribbon actually did work. The key, however, was you had to be someone with no prior experience with MS software. It was more intuitive if you were completely unexposed to prior ways of doing things.
    I actually liked it, because once you figured that out, things were a bit more simple. You just had to pretend like you were an idiot-- (insert jokes here).
    But since that sort of "non knowledge" is impossible to find, everyone hated it.
    Next time you run into the ribbon, try that.

    Even better, have the SSL site you connect to at the homesite only be accessible for the time you're in China, and have someone back there push/pull data from it while you're travelling, and only when you need it.
    That way, even if they get your VPN password, there's nothing to find.

    And, the reason for this, is because that same production knowledge was actually taught to overseas production facilites for a quick buck. PS: That toyota, more than likely, was made in the US. Assuming that's where you live.

    Sales taxes depends on the state. California, for example, requires you to declare your online purchases and account for the taxes in your state income tax. Of course, nobody does.
    BTW, How will you evaluate stuff once those stores you evaluate stuff in go broke and don't exist anymore? I used to work at a ski shop, where people did this, but then went down the street to Sports Chalet and bought it. Guess what? Store isn't there anymore for free evaluations.

    Why would that possibly change anyone's beliefs? It strikes me as a bit silly, condescending, and a little too much "we're the group power, bow to our might".
    Do you not get it? This argument isn't over NO government versus TOTALLY ALL ENCOMPASSING government, it's over what level of government is appropriate. I'm not Libertarian, and even I know that they don't advocate no government at all. That is the job of Anarchists.

    I'm curious what country you live in.
    Because, frankly, telling me that the world prefers one candidate to another means nothing to me.
    In fact, it almost makes me want to vote against it.
    It's like IBM telling Oracle that they prefer CEO A over CEO B.
    I would also expect you to feel my opinion is equally worthless in your elections.
