---Whether you agree with their politics or not, their ultimate point is clear: a few hundred votes in particular states could determine the outcome of this election."
It was NOT a few hundred votes in Florida that won GWBush's presidency. It was a panel of 9 elistists in the name of Florida Supreme Court. They singlehandedly could decide which votes "live" and which ones are bad, and not counted. They knew the numbers beforehand.
For that court "trial", they were essentially picking who our next president was. And if I recall correctly, the vote did go down party lines in the Fl. Supreme court
I perfectly understand what he's saying, and I agree with it too.
Currently, we acknologe "religous marriages" as a special type of governmental license with many special benefits. States seem to have that right, as it is not stated as a federal power (but that has not stopped them). YOu end up with the State/Federal saying who can get "married" and who cannot.
Instead, "Marriage" is a religous institution. A civil union (union without marriage) is the special type of contract, based in law. A civil union is just a contract with one sex defined for each space.
The point of contention is that Marriage and Civil unions be seperated, and civil unions be moved fully to the domain of contract law. Any church can "marry", as long as you have that legal binding contract. That would mean that a male/female, male/male, or female/female, or 3 or more can enter into a contract.
As usual, "civil unions" to non-sentient beings (dogs, cats, fish..), mentally retarded as defined by court or psychiatrist, or others not being able to legally bind themselves into a contract, cannot do so.
The most logical solution with regards to state and federal law pertaining to marriage is that those rules/regulations be dissolved. There should be no discernable benefit for "grouping together".
Ahh, I thought you were linking the winning of the team compared to the estimated winning this time.
If you were talking about the chances of that comnnection being held 12 opr so times, then youre right... but those 12 or so do not hold this current game to that same percantage of win. It's still 50% chance.
Your idea is stupid. The electorial vote IS linked to populist vote... just the populist doesnt matter as long as you win 50%+1 votes in that state.
The laws made to ALLOW electoriate votes be divided by state were gotten rid of by the Dems and Repubs both. An example of this is a state with 10 electorial votes, Bush gets 60%. In our system, he takes 10 votes. In the correct divided system, he'd get 6. The problem is this allows 3'rd party candidates to get electorial vodes WITHOUT winning a state.
In case of I/O, you can use a type of inductive tap with ferrite sheilding rings to disperse EMP.
Or better yet, you can have analog inputs coming from tube acquisition units. Just purchase adc's (or better yet, chips with adc's) and do same shielding.
If you know any, this is the kind of "stuff" that the NSA, raytheon, and such groups do. Many spy/military sattelites we have in orbit use these same principles. If an EMP-capacitor bomb went off (or thermonuclear, they create emp too), many things would get disabled.. but the GovSats wouldnt. The sensors would detect a emp shift, ground the sattelite for minute, then automatically reengage.
First off, electronics can be made EMP-proof, and a few ways at that.
1: Surround COMPLETELY the device with shielding, ala TEMPEST. Ground the shielding.
2: Use EMP detecters around the object to detect incoming pulse. When slight spike is recorded, cut electricity and ground the chips. These "hardened" chips have a cutoff which crucial parts are grounded/ungrounded on accepting a signal.
3: Use electron tubes for the base part of the system. Connect e-tubes to tempest surrounded internal computer. Use self-grounding chips for best survivalibility.

---Maybe it's just because I grew up in the 80's which was during the height of the cold war (and the movie War Games, of course), but I've actually sat down and thought about the consequences of the U.S. duking it out with another country in a nuclear war (I live in Canada, BTW). These days, of course, it would be called a nukular war, which is a little different, but probably not any more fun.
Well.. no movie is anything lke what would likely happen.
First, foregin relations regarding countries that have nucleonic weapons would have to break down. The US, in all likelyhood, will go to a isolationist-authoritarian government for regards to "Safety".
With protection treasties and isolations, smaller countries under our protection will be invaded by the nearest power capible of doing so. I would suspect Japan, South Korea, Kuwait, Israel, and a few other areas demoloished or under different rule.
China would likely take Japan for the resulting technology.
South Korea and possibly North Korea would be re-annexed by China too. If not, North Korea would take South Korea.
Kuwait would be taken most likely by United Arab emirate and Iraq supporters. Kuwait has plenty of resources and weak firepower.
Israel would be demoloished by every Arab nation, likely incomings would be Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, and such. Due to home of 3 religions, I doubt that nuclear bombs would be used there.
With the US falling into a isolationist-authoritarian style government, many people would rebel against that type of system. Some of it, in regards of data mining, rough handling of protesters at political conventions, and the like are already examples of current abuse. Cities would be paramount to a military regime to maintain "security", whether it be for the better or not.
---I mean, it's not like everybody would die. Something like 40% of Americans live in rural areas, and most parts of the world would not be directly hit. But, the average family anywhere would live a pretty nasty, brutish, and short life after that.
Many, not knowing how to survive a nuclear attack would likely be killed, if not by the radiation exposure, but to suffocation, lack of water, or malnourishment. Hopefully, if we did come to a full-out nuclear war, all would be required for a citywide destruction is a 1-3 megaton nuke. That type of yield clears out roughly a 35 mile area of structures. "Toothpicks to the sky" would be left.
---Billions would be sick from radiation sickness, which itself is torturous. There's no way current services and infrastructures would actually stay in control. The only way to maintain any kind of control in the harder hit areas would be to enforce a Saddam type rule.
Some radiation sickness can be provented. The radioactive iodine made by a blast is normally absorbed to the thyroid. If you take 500 mg of KI per day, you can aviod 99% of the effects from (I). The other problem is the deterioration of the small and large intestine. In that type of death, you simply starve from not being able to absorb foods. It'd be better to be shot dead if youre positive that you have this.
Also, the only rule would be a real rugged individualist style. The gun would be the "law". Also, if there was a nuclear war, water would be a real issue. Water, in itself, cannot easily be made radioactive, but the suspended particulates can be. A distillery could make clean water, but with highly hazardous runoff would be a serious issue. Hydroponics would be a source of foods until the radioactive particles wash themselves off most the land.
---And during all this, the only people mostly immune from all this destruction will be the people who pushed the button. They'll be safely tucked away in their mountain bunkers, while the rest of the world suffers the consequences.
Wrong. How long do you think they can live in those bunkers? Roughly 3 months, with a full implement of staff. They'd be lucky to push 5 months, if the nuclear bombs headed th

There's a realy good method I use to approximate Square roots.
1: You choose said number to "squareroot-ize". (227) 2: You list List closest natural square above and below said number. (15, 16) 3: Now, treat this as a fraction where the deniminator is the distance away from X^2 and (X+1)^2 ( 16^2 - 15^2 = 31) 4: The numerator is the difference between the chosen number to square root to the lower natural square. (227-225 = 2) 5: Now craft and solve said fraction. (2/31 = roughly.064 ) 6: Add on to the fraction the lower natural square to obtain an accurate square root using fractions. Higher numbers are, of course, more accurate. ( 15.064- fraction 15.066-true square root)
