Evidence? 8 million innocents butchered in the name of that ideology, plus tens of millions more (many of them civilians as well) killed in the struggle to defeat it.
If genocide occupies a hazy spot on your moral compass, I think it's safe to say you don't really have one, or at least haven't really thought at any length about what it means to take a life.
The strawmen you're referring to get free healthcare NOW. They get it in emergency rooms for an order of magnitude more money than it would cost to provide reasonable preventative care. They get heart valves replaced for six figures because they can't afford $500 to get an abcessed tooth pulled. And everyone else foots the bill.
Of course, as the poster mentioned already, it's also not the most difficult thing in the world to have some access controls in place. How would you go about getting a doctor's visit fraudulently billed to Medicare today?
How is that possibly cheaper than just renting a car when yours is in the shop? And don't you have problems with cracked belts, congealed fluids, and collapsed sidewalls from hardly every driving the original?
You mean the way "Doom," "Quake," "Half-Life," "Blood," "Sin," "Fable," "Descent," "Tempest," "Wizardry," "Unreal," ""Joust," "Defender," "Driver," "Lemmings," "Torchlight," and "Fallout" are simply common words and not recognizable enough to be trademarked as a video game title?
New York has rich and poor areas situated cheek to jowl all over the place, but it almost never feels like the scarily abrupt transitions you see in Philadelphia.
ESPN is Disney, and ESPN is the stick they use to get cable operators to carry a whole bunch of Disney channels with lower viewership at fairly high prices. You won't be seeing ESPN OTA affiliates ever.
Before it was hard to fire civil servants, new administrations would fire everybody upon taking office and replace them with hacks who had done something (or who were related to people who had done something) to advance the politician's career. This led to widespread incompetence, in addition to being thoroughly corrupt.
Bear in mind that "answerable to the taxpayer" really means "answerable to the elected official purportedly representing the taxpayer. This is especially important to remember during a time when opposing the entire concept of government is apparently a popular political ideology.
Odd, because I just bothered to check myself, and indeed the Copyright Act of 1976 did away with the notice requirement. You are correct, however, that the act did not harmonize US Law with Berne, just with the Universal Copyright Convention.
Of course, the "experimentation" with degraded footage in the opening credits of Se7en, with color grading in Three Kings, with bullet time in The Matrix all had a huge impact on film grammar and influenced the look of many movies that followed.
Also, is a director's price for "success" (being tapped to direct a 100M+ studio action flick) that they shouldn't try anything new, different, or artistically fulfilling? Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
It's not the age, it's the massive marijuana habit.

Question - Might that $300 million be an investment that saves the government a lot of money?
You know, in -Medicaid or unpaid emergency room care for pregnancies, miscarriages, and births -Medicaid or unpaid care for STDs -Social Security disability payments for children born with severe birth defects due to lack of proper prenatal care -GDP shrinkage from family members having to stop working to care for the above children -Prison housing expenses for extra unwanted children from late teens onward -Police expenses from extra unwanted children from late teens onward
Also,
Heck, if Obama really wanted a nanny state he would take the $300 million and give 1 million to each american.
Iraq and Afghanistan? Despite being undeclared, not calling those two "operations" wars, and denying that they cost a hell of a lot of money, is deliberately obtuse.
We spent it on tax cuts for the richest people and the biggest businesses. Maybe they could be asked to give some of it back. The same Republicans who threatened a government shutdown over not allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire are now screaming about fiscal responsibility. This is also known as pissing on you and then telling you it's raining.

You forgot the asbestos, pthalates, glycerol ester of wood rosin, and kitten paws.
no, it's a total conversion mod FOR ET.
If you really need TFC for zero dollars, try the free mod for Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory.
It's really striking how the cultural difference between 1955 and 1985 is so much greater than the difference between 1985 and 2015.
There's two things I can't stand - people who are intolerant of other cultures, and the bloody Dutch!

It also didn't have an option to zone residential apartments above street-level retail, like on the main streets in every town and city in the world.
Nope. 35, and SimCity 2000 sucked up lots of my precious Heretic/Quake time in college.

So, a $4160/year pay cut, then. No wonder they're pissed.

Well, he used the weasel word "landers." He's not counting Pioneer, Voyager, Gallileo, Hubble, etc., etc. etc.

1989? Wasn't it in the late 1970s when the US adopted the Berne Convention?

That's $1, you moron.
