Entrenched, incompetent civil servant bureaucracies like those in N.O. can't be dislodged w/o the thermonuclear bomb that is privatization, and a Democrat certainly won't do that...
I just asked my 12yo son, and -- as I will ever be thankful -- it would never cross his mind to ask me to find him a hero. (I even asked him if he would have when he was 8. Nope.)
taxes are still cheaper than having my own private doctor and hospital, my own roads, my own water towers and power generation, my own private library, swimming pool, and so on. Governments should do these things, because it's cheaper for everyone to pitch in.
Honest question: where does it stop?
Is it cheaper for the gov't to grow the crops, thresh the wheat, mill the grain, bake the bread, haul it all around, distribute it to the peasants?
Laissez-faire would support leaving the status quo as it is.
Eh? The status quo is DADT; how can the status quo be laissez-faire?
A "social laissez-faire" would allow anything (gay marriage, taking drugs, carrying guns, eating trans-fats, etc) as long as it doesn't directly impact someone else.
Fear not, for I have RTFA and the original article that the digitizor article is based on.
Fortunately for the ethics of Mozilla, the named Mozilla engineer (Rob Sayre) never claimed that IE9 cheated. Instead, he diplomatically refers to it as a "oddity" and "fragile analysis" and filed a bug w/ MSFT.

Which is why most people shouldn't have computers.
ROFLMAO.

RTFA. Dale is a "she".
Business students need a motivation to cheat????
No.
It's the parent's job to put him in an environment where he will (hopefully) choose parentally-acceptable role models.
(This means no /Family Guy/ and /Southpark/ for 8 year olds!!!!! Or 15 year olds, for that matter.)
Then, if he chooses a "bad" hero/role-model, you talk it over with him.
Mainly, though, a parent just has to accept that unless you home-school him, you have a lot less influence over him than you wish you would.
Find your own hero, kid.

The genesis of wealth is the conversion of public property into private, which is to say theft from society.
Interesting.
So what do Left-Libertarians say that we do with private property?
I don't know, but I suspect the latter.
Of course it's purpose is to get people to go through the AIT.
What do Conservatives want? To sell him the fish?
Or steal it from the Amerindians?
Finally, someone who makes sense!
we shouldn't legislate morality
Then what are the rules against "hate" speech and discrimination against gays/blacks/women?
They are legislation against the kind of morality that Progressives disagree with.
Read the whole thread and know that I am not a libertarian.

The Soviet Union tried that and failed miserably.
I'm not sure where the Tea Party fits in all this
They fit into the "I want to have my cake and eat it, too" camp of idiots who don't realize that deep cuts means cutting Medicare.

As I mentioned in a previous post, "None of my business" == "laissez-faire".
Socially liberal does not mean "spend money".
Any other definition necessarily requires taking my money and giving it to someone else.
Then you're looking for the phrase laissez-faire, which means let do.

So, blame Digitizor and ycombinator for putting words in Rob Sayre's mouth.
How can one be fiscally conservative (spend less money) and simultaneously be socially liberal (spend more money on those sad, pitiful poor people)?
But how many people actually live there?
I'm surprised the fuel didn't gel.
Or does the refinery add winterizers?
No one on /. should wonder at powers of 2.
Heck, a Z-80 and 64KB RAM is perfectly adequate for all 3 tasks you mentioned:
You stick ECMs in your ass?
