Reclaiming the land and enforcing a suitable building code would take care of that problem now, wouldn't it? The city exists in that location because it serves well as a very convenient shipping port. That kind of economics tends to draw a lot people.
Well, land reclamation would be the simple obvious answer for New Orleans to preclude the recurrence of such devastating flooding, but it looks like we just don't have the money for such niceties.

I guess you just don't the strength of character to explain why his post might be incorrect, so the insults fly. Such a shame. You were doing pretty good there for a while.
Well, without knowing the particulars in this case, technically, if there was a crime committed on US soil, then extradition could be justified, in theory. And by the way, as far as I know, burning an American flag, even in the US, is not a criminal offense...yet.
I didn't hear or see the word "all" the internet anywhere in the ads. "...Just the internet...on your phone". Am I seeing the same ad as all of you are?
The customers do. The business should be held responsible to declare the taxes owed as a condition of their license or corporate charter. And the only fair tax is the VAT. It's the simplest and requires the least paperwork, much to the bureaucrats' chagrin. And since bureaucrats make the rules, it will never happen and explains why the states constantly invent new ways to collect more taxes and lay the paperwork on us.
You might see it as unfair that a vote in Vermont counts more than one in California...
You got it in reverse. California has a bunch more clout because they have a bunch more electors. So your electoral college is doing nothing to prevent that. If it was to work the way you describe, each state should get one vote. So the winner would require a majority of states to win. If amount of electors should be in proportion to the population, we should demand they represent the wishes of that population without question.
...In that scenario, why keep the Senate around?
Over the last few years I've wondering that myself. They're supposed keep watch over the president. But we certainly have the fox watching the henhouse these days, don't we? Look, I'm not even for a majority rule, where the minority gets screwed as it does today. But there's nobody left but us animals to fix it. This system is not producing the needed results. I shall refer you to my post to another responder who tried to throw an overused Churchill quote at me in case you didn't read it already. I really don't know which one I like best. They all represent my view on the matter pretty well. Of course the man was a virulent racist: I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place. To the Palestine Royal Commission (1937) and a supporter of fascism until it became a threat to his power. But the quotes still stand on their own.
Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.
However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.
The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.
As was said before, I was born here. You ain't sendin' me nowhere. Some of us want to make sure we are counted also. You might be good with people like Clinton and Bush. The rest would like to see the country actually practice what it preaches. When there is a malfunction, it needs to be corrected, or the machine needs to be junked.
College kids have been smelling the bullshit since long before Kent State. What do we get? Another "Vietnam". And "reefer madness" is still a raging success with a thriving law enforcement and prison industry to show for it. Ever do time for cultivation? Well, lucky you if you haven't. Lucky me too. They let me plea it down. Yeah, I feel real lucky. Wanna tell me how much progress has been made since then? Over the last forty five years we have been regressing, not progressing.
Count your blessings that you even get to vote for your electors because there's nothing in the Constitution that says the states have to select their electors based on a popular vote.
Hmmm... You did read where I said, *The electoral college is not obligated to reflect the popular vote.*, right? That could very easily mean that the 270 votes do not reflect the results of the election. That would be quite arbitrary in my book. See, I'm not the least bit concerned about the constitutionality of all this. I'm perfectly aware of its legality. I only want my vote to be properly noted and counted. As small as the chance might be, the chance that my vote is being dismissed or ignored is still there under the present system.

The internet is a redundant fault tolerant network. It routes around damage.
Yeah, well how do it route around the ISP that cuts off my service? Or the occasional boat anchor that cuts the cable?

There, fixed that for you, shithead.
To paraphrase your previous sig:

So...when can we expect the JE?
Well, without knowing the particulars in this case, technically, if there was a crime committed on US soil, then extradition could be justified, in theory. And by the way, as far as I know, burning an American flag, even in the US, is not a criminal offense...yet.
Foregoing the purchase of a Lenovo will also require an NDA. Well, in "Communist" China anyway.
Isn't there some kind of interstate commerce thing in the constitution thing to cover that? Just a sperm of the moment thought...you know.
Ah okay then, the summary was misleading. Slashdot is so sued.
It was the ad in the link... I hope you don't don't expect me to listen to them all. Life's a bit short for that. So where's the offending ad then?
I didn't hear or see the word "all" the internet anywhere in the ads. "...Just the internet...on your phone". Am I seeing the same ad as all of you are?

Yeah, I admit it. I keep a partition handy to stay in practice...

Car analogies are welcome ;)
It's like putting Lee Iacocca in charge of the development of the Ford Pinto?

How can they maintain something they'll never have?
So afraid to offend. You make me want to puke. Games are games. Who cares if they leave exploding dog doo on your front porch?
When the design is defective, disaster results.

Look for ones which claim to not keep any logs.
LOL That's a good one.
I think we need to liscence who gets access to this "internet" you speak of since it's clearly dangerous.
Somebody beat you to it.
