Bad news for the new Revolution controller then. That thing is going to require massive arm movement. PS3 and XBox 360 will have to fill the lucrative Chemo Kids market.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with the national holiday of Thanksgiving. That was started during the Civil War. (George Washington had previously suggested a day of Thanksgiving, but interest and results varied.)
Small political parties should concentrate on small elections. So if you are a Green or Libertarian, set your sights a little lower and aim for a county seat.
Technically, the Shah was more of a king because there were previous Shahs going back hundreds of years. His repressions started after someone tried to usurp the throne (thus culminating in the 1979 revolution).
When machines do all our work, robots will be plentiful. Then, the rise of Robo-Marxism will lead to a new class struggle between humans (bourgeoisie) and robots (proletariat).
I kinda consider Canada's content requirements as barriers to free trade right up there with price controls and tariffs. Now, of course, I know the US has illegal tariffs against some Canadian things (like lumber), but that's no excuse for price controls and content requirements.
Incidentally, the US's lumber industry would be in a lot better shape if we stopped protecting that damned spotted owl.
I thought monorails were supposed to be on of the cheap(er) forms of mass transit. At least, they are supposed to be cheaper than subways, what with not having to dig underground and all.
I've heard that due to wording of most of the Amendments in the Bill of Rights that those restrictions really only applied to the federal government. State governments could pass laws against certain types of speech. They could establish a religion. This wasn't changed until the 15th Amendment. And that was created in response to Southern States denying the right to vote and other liberties (such as owning guns) to blacks.
I think the Gold Standard was mostly abandoned by the U.S. in the 1930s (during the Great Depression). Some big money industrialists were pissed off at the time and the actually consider deposing FDR. It wasn't until 1971 that the U.S. was taken completely off the gold standard.
The Prime Minister of Iran was a man named Muhammad Mussadegh. He became Prime Minister after nationalizing Iran's oil fields (seizing British-owned fields). The British were pissed and formed a blockade against Iran.
From the link provided, things seemed to get a little complicated: --> Mossadegh asks Shah for emergency/military powers. --> Shah refuses. --> Mossadegh resigns. --> New Prime Minister appointed. --> Iranian people outraged by new PM's policy of negotiating with British. --> Shah fires new Prime Minister, brings backs Mossadegh (with full military powers). --> Mossadegh enjoys popularity, has parliament give him new powers, he appoints a radical Muslim as house speaker, starts collective farming and other sociliast policies. --> Mossadegh also fires a lot of military leaders loyal to the Shah. --> They conspire against Mossadegh. --> At this time, Britain and U.S. grow fearful that Iran will turn to the Soviet Union for aid/alliance. Agree to work to stop him. --> Mossadegh knew of plots against him, rigged a referendum to get rid of parliament (he won with 99.9% of the vote). Extends his emergency powers. --> Popularity for Mossadegh was decreasing (bad economy due to blockade and promised reforms not coming). --> Mossadegh tried to convince the Shah to leave the country (because the Shah was a threat to him), the Shah refused and dismess Mossadegh, but Mossadegh refuses to quit, so the Shah leaves the country for his own safety. --> Pro-monarchy forces (with aid and support from U.S. and British intelligence services) storm the capital and arrest Mossadegh. --> The Shah now returns from exile.
After this, the Shah did become harder and more autocratic (he banned opposing political parties). He did some good things like modernization and suffrage for women, but he started to become repressive in the early 1970s and that's what lead to his ousting in 1979.
I believe the coal-burning power plants in the U.S. produce far more CO2 than cars and trucks in the U.S. Replacing those plants with nuclear plants would help reduce CO2 emissions.
And the U.S. has been working out an agreement between Chinda, India, and Australia about CO2...
Canada only has 1/3 gun ownership rate (per capita) compared to the U.S. Additionally, Canada has severe restrictions regarding the ownership of guns. People are largely limited to owning hunting guns and there are strict storage requirements for all guns.
In the U.S., State and local laws differ greatly on gun ownership and the right to self-defense. As a general rule (in the U.S.), if the area you live in has a high degree of gun control, there is a high crime rate.
I only drink Coke when I am eating food and, even then, the Coke must taste reasonably good while eating the food (IMO, Coke doesn't go so well with ramen, etc.).
When not eating, I'll drink root beer or some other liquid.

My PS2 is currently broken and I'm not looking to replace it or get it fixed.
Cable TV bill? What was he doing, watching porn?

They go to anti-U.S. protests where they try to tear down statues of General MacArthur.

That's the best part. They can just seize all his assets in Mexico!

I'm a Republican and I'm for the three G's:

I once heard someone pronounce "Gettysburg" as "Jettysburg".
As you can imagine, my reaction was laughter at how they could so obliviously piss on the corpses of 50,000 dead men.

Was that the rollerblading movie that had a talking, glowing orb?
Because I know such a movie existed, I just can't remember what it was called.

Say, you wouldn't know where I could get a ROM of Radical Dreamers (a sort-of sequel to Chrono Trigger), would you?

We didn't place the Shah, we returned him to power. Iran was a monarchy that existed since ~1500 (until 1979).
Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi was the last of the Shahs. He became Shah in 1941.

Don't CA and MA have higher taxes on gas (compared to other States)?
Of course, it could just be local businesses meeting demand...

The rest of us will continue with drinking piss to check its flavor, thank you very much.
They aired two episodes as part of "Giant Robot Week". That's hardly the whole series.
