Not just minorities. Try being white and entering a "known drug neighborhood". Worse, try being white and living in or near one. It is almost as if being white in the wrong part of the city is a crime.
Doing without ID cards is no worse than working with a flawed ID card system. Probably better.
If you have a flawed ID system it gives a false sense of trust. For example, (living in the US) I could tell you a dozen ways to obtain a false driver's license. However, when the police or a business tries to identify you, they will trust that document much more than they would a simple statement, yet that document is no more turstworthy.
I don't disagree with your description of things, just the use of herbivore. If by definition a herbivore is a creature which eats only plants, then by definition it does not eat meat. That few such creatures exist does not change the definition.
Also, I would challenge your statement about horses. They WILL bite, but rarely actually ingest the flesh after biting. It is more of an offensive/defensive action than a dietary act.
Anyone lacking the capacity to peel a potato lacks the intelligence to do pretty much anything. I doubt your "ruling class" is so out of touch with reality that they lack some of the basic skills you describe.
Also, though you think it impossible, some do rise through the ranks to join your so-called ruling class. Do you think they then forget all that they previously knew?
In fact, that's one of the major shortcomings of your Marxist view, it assumes "classes" are somehow innate, assigned at birth, and immutable. The theory is at odds with reality.
Not to defend the grandparent, but isn't spotting holes one of the main reasons for publication? Peer review is not infallible. I agree that our mouse killing poster probably will not be the one to spot any irregularities, but it is possible.
Stale old punchline: Easier giving it to politicians as there some thing even rats won't do. (OK, it was a lawyer joke, but lawyer, politician, what's the difference...)
I think if Castro (or anyone, for that matter) wants to kill his own citizens, bullets are a lot cheaper than the R&D required to develop a sufficiently lethal prion. Actually, not even bullets, guys with clubs, an even cheaper alternative.
I think by definition feeding meat to a herbivore is unnatural. Otherwise it would be an omnivore, not a herbivore.
You could argue that we have incorrectly categorized these animals as herbivores, but to argue that herbivores naturally eat meat is to argue against the definition of the word itself.

If I recall, Konquerer doesn't easily display multiple directories for this single-click change, does it? so a command line "find./ -user X -exec chown Y {} \;" can do in one action something it would take any number of konquerer actions to do.

Actually, Solaris sh (on 2.6 - I think. I has been years) was non standard. Try while X do... done >file. All variables set in the loop have a local scope.Not only non-standard but contrary to their own manpage.
Actually, copyrights and patents are not a novel idea, so "intellectual property" is hardly a novelty in ccapitalism. It may have expanded greatly in recent years, but it is nothing new.
Even ignoring the IP realm, capitalism has been just as concerned with services as with products for quite some time.
It is quite innaccurate to state that physical commodities were the sole concern of capitalism until yesterday, or maybe the day before.
Unlike the other posts, this one is absolutely correct... Kashrut applies to things being eaten (or preparation of food), so unless you cook on your drive, or eat it, kashrut does not apply.
To be fair, Lloyd Bentsen, the "Senator from Texaco" was aDemocrat. Both parties are quite heavily involved in protecting big business, big agriculture and whatever local unions are influential. The unions tend slightly Democrat, industry tends slightly Republican, but there really is very little noticeable difference.
This is amusing. I have read three or four posts talking about "Everyone starts at the same time +/- 5 minutes", but the "same" start times they give range from 7:50 AM to 9:00 AM. Thus, it appears there is well over an hour of variation in the time "everyone" starts...

An official Louisiana State document? Someone who obviously live outside of LA and has never heard of Huey Long.
You mean you actually expect Duke Nukem Forever to eventually get published? Otherwise, we have at least one cliche that should last forver.
So a blog is more like a New York Times editorial?
Oh nno! It's the guy from the urban legend about the poodle!
If your real life involves high radiation levels on a regular basis, you should think about making some changes in your lifestyle.

Shouldn't that be IANAM, or are you suggesting you are not a very small biologist?

Remember IANAR (The yeshiva version of IANAL)
This feature was also on some 1980's Smith-Corona electric typewriters with built in correction tapes.

Millions of lookups in a userland database would be more efficient than persistent connections?
