Not to be too snarky, but can I pick C) non of the above and just use cell phones to make phone calls, not as a half-assed computer? I have a lovely little netbook for that.
I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the goals of the scientific process. Unfortunately you are not alone, since this sort of comments pops up in every science thread on this site.
People forget that Adam Smith's 'free markets' were markets that had freedom of entry and exit, not markets free of regulation. Your example is a good one because it shows how gov't participation takes an area that, because of the infrastructure required, is a difficult market to enter for a new player and transforms it into a 'free market', where new participants can enter with little cost.
Well shit, I guess that I and my brother, sons of a homosexual man and a straight woman, can't possibly exist, and thus won't be able to produce children and grandchildren to look back on you with contempt.
And yet, when I was a legal resident of Japan with a valid work visa and entry permit (obtained for $50 several weeks before leaving) I was fingerprinted every time I reentered. But we never hear of people railing against the injustice of Japan's policies? Dow we simply hold them to a lower standard or does nobody go there? Or is it just more fun to yell at the US?
Really we never took pride in being a melting pot at the time immigration was happening. WE look back with pride on our own ancestors while complaining about the hordes of dirty foreigners who are ruining the country now, and we more or less always have. I am always struck by how unchanging nativist sentiment in this country is. In the 1840s and 50s it was the No Nothing party complaining about the Germans and Irish flooding the country, then it was the Italians and other undesirable Southern Europeans and Catholics, then it was the Eastern Europeans and most especially the Jews. Xenophobia has always been a fixture of this country's political discourse, only mellowed by the passage of time and the death of racists.
I would say it is somewhat unsurprising that a chiropractic adjustment helped with head and neck pain. The point where you should start to get a bit more skeptical is where they start telling you an adjustment can fix you stomach trouble, your insomnia, your depression, your cancer, your alcoholism etc.
In Ireland they like to give directions that include things that aren't there anymore: 'Well you gown the road and turn left at the old church...that is to say the church isn't there anymore, but turn where it used to be.' My wife didn't believe me till someone gave directions on out honeymoon to 'go past the pink house. Now you can't see the house from the road but...'
Well, I agre, but your notion that the Maori were primitive is not really valid. By the time the Maori ancestors arrived in New Zealand the Polynesian cultural template had been refined for many thousands of years. It came equipped with a kit of animal husbandry, plants, gear, sophisticated navigation all honed for the establishment of island hopping civilization. Just because none of this was made of metal or had blinken lights does not mean it wasn't technology. They were notstone age hunter gatherers like the !Kung or amazonian tribes.
The freedom is freedom from arrest or detention. You are free to say whatever horrid you want, just as I am free to get a bullhorn and call you a moron. You may get a bigger bullhorn if you wish. We may continue as nauseum barring noise complaints and assuming we are not trespassing. I fully support the ability of the KKK or whoever to march down the road, but they are not guaranteed that I won't show up with a counter-demonstration to drown them out. All the 1st amendment guarantees (a guarantee all to often violated) is that the police or other agents of the government won't come to drag either of us away. If a university invites some xenophobic yahoo to speak and the students jeer him out of the hall that is not censorship, just as it isn't censorship if they don't invite him to speak at all.

And that axis is also circular. All possible sociopolitical axes are simply a balance between radical ideology and practical moderation.

You are correct in that it is more or less equally silly.

I love you.

And then we will read more. Please, take your ball and go home.
That would be the same guy. Lazarus Long: a character I was never sure why we were supposed to care about.
Stalin was No True Scotsman!

Did you read the linked paper?
But it will be in the Pirate Bay edition.

My eeePC has bluetooth. No card slot but I could just use my little reader plugged into a usb port.

The Democratic Party would be better if it were in fact a socialist party.
'Viruses' is correct. The Latin plural of virus is just 'virus.'
Cobain wasn't depressed, he was a heroin addict.
Well, the correct reaction would be for your boss to fire you, no matter what the provenance of the music, for misuse of company resources.
Yeah, Utah is rather odd...
Or option C, begin revoking incorporation and re-instituting tariffs.
