That's a good plan, but between me and you, biotech is a tulip craze. Even if Kerry wins and gives billions of dollars to collect stem cells, it'll all be gone in a couple years. 99% of what can be done with biotech only needs a few hundred researchers worldwide, and the other 98% is science fiction.
For every hour of labor kept in America, the company is forced to pay $10 to the government for the person who got the job, for a typical worker making $40,000 a year. And then the government takes another $10 from the worker every hour to boot.
I'm going back to community college to take a couple business and accounting classes, declining to collect unemployment, and am looking for at least a half dozen highly skilled computer related businesses located here in the USA to outsource to. I'm looking for people with domain knowledge in Unix System Administration, particularly email server management, systems programming, graphic design, marketing, business application development, accounting, vertical market knowledge (hotels, restaurants, various small businesses), international contacts (to outsource American work to), and possibly wifi and/or voip gurus. Know anyone?
I'm a Scientist and I claim the world is not getting warmer. Even Al Gore (not a scientist, though he invented the internet) now believes that global warming will cause a catastrophic sudden ice age.
Er... the president doesn't make the headlines either. Again, that's someone else's job. A president belonging to the same party as the Congress *may* have enormous influence over Congress (if he controls the party, often not so) or if the Congress already agrees with him. Likewise, if the president controls the press (or if they already agree with him) then he can have an influence over the headlines.
Necessity is the mother of invention. In order to become inventors, we have to first be implementors. If you take away the obstacles, there is no incentive to find solutions.
There's nothing wrong with Walmart. Trust me, I used to have to wear KMart sneakers, and my unbranded airwalk knock-offs from Walmart beat the crap out of Traxx.
The military gave us plastic and dynamite and steel and jets and the internet. They're all byproducts, but you'd be surprised how much progress can be made as a byproduct of labelling people as different and then killing them.
That's why real engineers are even more useless than software engineers. In the real world it is the workers that work around the engineers designed to get stuff done. There's typically a head butting between a foreman who worked his way up from a grunt, and a lead engineer which results in the foreman losing his job, and then the engineer "permitting" it to be implemented the way the foreman said all along.
The good ones come to America, get working visas, and work for half what you will. Six year later they get green cards and work for 90% of your price, but now they're the experienced ones with domain expertise and have the additional advantage of being able to speak the same language as the call center reps, testers, and code monkeys who have been outsourced.
You've never once uttered the work 'accessable' -- or 'accessible' for that matter. And I'll bet you've never said 'seasoned' either. And I'll bet Bush has used 'quell' many times for that matter.
"But to date we have seen no evidence that these or earlier contacts ever developed into a collaborative operational relationship."
That statement is equivalent to:
"I can verify that I have heard nothing specific about an imminent invasion by aliens from Jupiter in the southern hemisphere next Wednesday in order to procure bananas"
Deciphering such newspeak is difficult, but if you heard it stated seriously, you couldn't help but believe the statement is trying to disguise a partial truth.
Saddam had chemical weapons. Many of them were destroyed. Not all of them. The question is what happened to the rest?
There are three possibilities:
1) They were destroyed without the knowledge of the UN weapons inspectors.
2) They did not, in fact, exist. However, Saddam prevented the UN weapons inspectors from verifying this.
3) They still exist but have not been found.
Under which circumstance was removing Saddm Hussein from power a mistake?
The aluminum tubes were for centrifuges. It's possible they could have been used for something else, but I haven't heard any reasonable suggestions. The same tubes were sold by the same manufacturer for nuclear enrichment by others. Anyway, they didn't make it to Iraq. We stopped the shipment. The claims that the yellowcake claims were false were proven to be false. Joe Wilson lied. His wife, a bureaucrat at the CIA, not an operative, had him appointed to do a job which he did not do. Iraqi agents did visit Nigeria and ask about purchasing raw Uranium. The "firetrucks" had rooms inside them and had recently been washed with ammonia, a substance that would prevent detection of biological weapons cultures. Iraq used chemical weapons, both mustard and nerve gases against both the Iranians as well as Kurds inside Iraq. Warheads and containers (both not significant stockpiles) were found with traces of both agents. Saddam declared he had x amount of chemical weapons stores as part of the ceasefire agreement in 1991 and agreed to dispose of them and have the disposal verified by inspectors. The inspectors did not verify the disposal of all declared chemical weapons and was prevented form verifying the lack of biological and nuclear weapons programs. Where did the chemical weapons that Saddam himself declared to have -- and was known to have used in the past --- go? Unless Saddam did destroy all his chemical weapons and then lied about it and refused to allow inspectors to verify it, those weapons still exist somewhere. You can hide enough chemical weapons to kill a million people in one truck. One such truck was found in Jordan full of chemical weapons, manned by terrorists on their way to Amman. There's no proof that those weapons came from Iraq, but no other regime in the area is known to have produced chemical weapons.
So does Kerry support the war in Iraq or not? That's what all the "Knowing what you know now..." questions are about. Does anyone know? I know Kerry supporters who don't. I know Bush supporters who think they do, though it contradicts some of Kerry's most recent statements.
Reagan is dead. Reeve is dead. Fox will die. So will you and I. "Embryonic Stem Cell" Research won't save any of us. It won't cure Alzheimer's or Diabetes, a broken spine, cancer, or old age. Ever. Maybe it will lead to some interesting discoveries, maybe it won't. The question is, is it worth creating a market for abortions just to further the research? Yes, there are enough aborted embryos to provide stem cells for research. But do we want to experiment with cloning? Do we want to discover something that may lead to a market for mass deaths? If embryonic stem cells do lead to a cure for the common cold or the ability to enlarge your penis, do you really think poor black women should be forced to get pregnant and abort their fetuses just to make rent so you rich bastards with small dicks can feel good about yourselves while you jack off.
You know that retard he didn't pardon only started using coloring crayons once his lawyers told him it might get him off the death penalty. Now, the reason that retard got the death penalty was because a woman he killed was the sister of a famous football player.
Should a governor pardon every murderer whose guilt is certain just because they have famous relatives which might have influence the prosecution to more vigorously perform their job? There are lots of legitimate retards who manage to spend their lives not committing multiple murders and rape? Are they all to be denigrated by being lumped in with this degenerate who claims to be retarded but somehow was aware enough of his crimes to try to cover them up?
What's wrong with killing people who definitely committed rape and murder, definitely were aware of both their actions and the conseqeuences, but possibly have a IQ below 100?
Mr. Kerry said that he swore off eating hot dogs, but then was photographed eating a hotdog at a Red Sox game. When asked whether he was still against eating hot dogs he replied that he did not actually eat the hotdog, but merely posed for the picture as if he were eating the hotdog. When it was pointed out that there was mustard on his face, so he must have eaten the hotdog, he denied it, saying that it was ketchup, and asked who would not pose with ketchup on his face if their current wife's former husband bequeathed to her a billion dollar fortune made selling ketchup.
The next week at a Yankees game, Kerry cheered on the Brooklyn team and declared it un-American to not eat hot dogs at baseball games. That same evening at a vegetarian fundraiser, he said that the hotdog industry should be more regulated due to health concerns about their packing (citing Upton Sinclair's documentary about the current state of the industry, 'Aerosmith'.) Although Kerry voted against a bill that would toughen restrictions on meat packing.
He also proposed that vegetarian hot dogs should be required to made available at all ball parks where meat franks are available. This legislation would even affect little league games and potentially prohibit many locales from offering the tasty, allegedly offal-contaminated foods.
In other statements Kerry has both affirmed his love for hot dogs and decried them as unhealthy.

Yes it would, but that was included in the No Child Left Behind bill.

The problem with the deflationary spiral, is that it's so tempting to 'sit on cash' because it becomes a good investment.

Bush gave longer responses than Kerry, so what?
You've never once uttered the work 'accessable' -- or 'accessible' for that matter. And I'll bet you've never said 'seasoned' either. And I'll bet Bush has used 'quell' many times for that matter.
