    Why not Halliburton did so has Disney and Microsoft. Of course people eventually wise up and the laws get changed back for a while but that takes time and trustworthy politicians are hard to find.

    Is that's what I'm doing, I used the term mealworm for a reason they are the sucks of human food production their only use is to serve as bird food. You want Darwin there you go. Toady all you want but that's all you will ever be. By the way this "Tough. Darwinism in action, says I." disproves this "The stupid get weeded out..."

    They would either have to have a concept of using a parabolic to reflect and focus sunlight or have a supply of fuel to heat the water which would likely take up more space than the water it's self.

    Those damn lazy single mothers that can't take time away from raising children and working two jobs to do their civic duty and read obscure news sites at the public library. Give me a break.

    The funny thing is the same people arguing for fewer government regulations when corporations are concerned are almost always arguing for aggressive enforcement of copyright laws. Why is that... why is it ok for the FCC to hand over the spectrum to the ones with the most cash and the least incentive to act responsibly. if you're arguing for the removal of laws from the books let's just get rid of the FCC all together and let everyone broadcast. Why are we protecting clear channel, why are we protecting NBC or Disney. Should the laws work for them and not for us? Ask yourself are you really as libertarian as you claim or are you really just one of those mealworms that view the holders of wealth as a species apart and the privileged as the chosen of God?

    E 7 if E has a odd number on the back the statement is disproved if 7 has a vowel on the back the statement is disproved. since 8 is not a vowel and the statement dosn't assert anythign about all even numbered cards it's irrelivent what is on it's back and since Q is a concinent it's similarly irrelivent .

    No not flamebait but certainly ignorant. Let's recharacterize environmentalists or (tree huggers as you say) as those who don't shit in the drinking water and after we do that let's talk about woman that make their own decisions about their procreative habits and why you would oppose them enough to speak out publicly against a industry that publicly supports their right to do so.
