1) What exactly was that $12B supposed to yield? You presume raw research should be done regardless of expense. Untrue.
2) We have one and once we can get the NIMBY people quieted, we'll have more. And?
3) The amount of U.S. funds needed to design, launch, and operate the International Space Station will total about $94 billion through 2012. How are the other participants doing? It is an international space station, right?
Then you have not watched cats overly much. They will kill a series of mice just to kill them and line them up for you and they will sit and knock a mouse out repeatedly just to play with it.
"Any good artist is far too emotionally connected to their work to objectively critique it."
Then you need to read some interviews with a 'good artist' or two, like say, Dali, Rockwell, Picasso -- there are many more available. Your point not only is simply your opinion, many very good artists in history appear to disagree.
He didn't at all suggest deliverables were "per day", nor has any business I've dealt with in over thirty years used that. It's simply "Does it work" and "Did you come close to your estimate", both of which are reasonable metrics. I would also add "Can someone else easily understand it?"
And if you compare the numbers, his point still stands out strong. Over a hundred million to about three. No country is absolutely perfect, but the tirade about the US is bullshit.
Yes, and it was paid for, not free. At least, the quality artists everyone seems to want the music of was. To turn a phrase, downloaders don't give a crap about the artists, only about avoiding having to pay.
Let's say once you discover the energy from nowhere, someone else comes along behind and finds the source. That source now becomes part of reality and not supernatural anymore.
You say he cannot discover the source? I say he can. Parlor games.
This stuff is nothing new at all. I got security people telling me that in the days before digital, much less 9/11. Security guards make every attempt to feel self-important. That is all.
No, actually. What would draw more people into teaching science is to drop the stupid requirements that they have *teaching* degrees instead of science degrees. I would happily teach science, but have had no luck because I'm not DESE. I have 174 hours of college science, but nothing about constructing bulletin boards or running mimeograph machines, so I can't teach.
"Law enforcement's job is to see that they stay that way,..."
Uh, no. It is law enforcement's job to apprehend people who have committed a crime. It is not their job to ride shotgun on people who have in the past committed crimes, only to catch them again if they repeat.
"Someone that emotionally fragile would've committed suicide sooner or later."
Nothing more than an assumption to get the perp off. Simply because someone is emotionally fragile does not excuse harassment, especially that tailored to drive the fragility to breaking.

Uh, Websters --

Cool. His point was proved within a half hour.

So do chimps, on a relative basis. Others, notably solitary types, will kill those they come across.
Sure. Read up.

"Who are they to tell us how to feel?"
Who are you to tell them what to critique?
Then hit the unemployment line.

Interesting. You realize that you just made a supportive position for the huge prices of CD's right? I mean, charge a substantial fee up front.
"Once those costs are paid, they can run off as many prints as they want for almost no cost."
Showing that you do not understand professional photography. It's not like they use WalMart.
Yes, and it was paid for, not free. At least, the quality artists everyone seems to want the music of was. To turn a phrase, downloaders don't give a crap about the artists, only about avoiding having to pay.
It is. Only the degree to which the various mechanisms influenced the path are debatable.
Nice. Parlor games to guide science.

An assertion and a thin one. Using math to 'prove' the real world is the illusion. Cite please.
Um, no. You can't publish them, but you can take them.

language - wrong
culture - wrong
economics - wrong
Almost half wrong. You've been neglecting boning up on your abstract communication.
"any degree at all"
Worst error.

Monopoly -- I don't think that word means what you think it means.
Oh please. Give us your home country and we'll find a bunch of inane shit about there.
Obviously, you have no intention on crossing the border.
Where did you get the idea that someone somewhere has to believe the slander or libel?
