Have you actually followed our history? We have suppressed actual revolutions previously. We had more trouble with former Presidents being used as fronts for possible military coups. If there is an insurrection, then the President has to send troops. It only makes sense. Just because a governor says no, is unacceptable. I seem to remember a whole bunch of governors that led an insurrection.

What kind of nonsense are you spewing? Minors can engage in contracts. The other party needs to be aware of the ramnifications of a minor making a contract and potential losses. Furthermore, EA would definitely choose to make a contract with the minor.
Does anyone on the website have a grasp of tax law? A not-for-profit organization can own a for-profit entity.
It simply makes very little sense other than a publicity stunt.
As a stockholder of Google I would be concerned about the waste of my money.
I think that you are absolutely right.
I am very concerned with the media pushing lateral communication problems.
They seem concerned with a firefighter talking to a police officer way too
much.
In many cases these communities do not build repeater systems with a plan
to cover the whole area. So how can you expect them to provide coverage
in a building? My town has poor coverage in the local Wal-Mart, but they have
poor handheld coverage in the whole area of the Walmart. No one in the police
department has thought much about terrain and radio coverage at all.
However, the real stinker is the cost. Motorola, ICOM, Vertex Standard, and
others just charge TOO MUCH. I have heard many stories about pricing reasons
and ham radio gear being subsidied, but really.
Would you think that a VX-150 can cost $79(when I purchased two at this price)
versus its commercial equivalent, which is completely the idential in the
$600-$800 range? This is the real problem. The radio companies have complete
control over the equipment pricing, and the procurement officers at government
agencies don't know anything about the product being purchased.

Brazil is rapidly destroying their ecosystem. They are building an economy of expansion, but seek little in environmental protection.
Now, how did they have elephants in Carthage or horses? I don't see how you could travel
through the Sahara of today by elephant or horse to Egypt. Yet, there are stories of
this and the carthagian empire.

What is wrong when poor people work in UNION sweatshops in New York
City. They work long hours and do not get their pay. The Union blasts
"sweatshops" in China; however, the people had a clean working environment
in the chinese shops. They were paid better, when you compare their
standards of living.
France is actually more EFFICIENT than America. The US
has workers that work longer to produce only a little bit
more GDP per capita than France.
They only work 37.5 hours per week, while many americans
work 60 hours a week. We make something like 110% GDP per
capita.
How the heck is it subidized? This just shows you that we
are in a decaying culture, that does not value individuals or
the people as a collective.
Only certain people get to enjoy things here.
Walmart has engaged in very weird pricing schemes that vary from time to time.
The carrying of Coca Cola in the Massachusetts market has been very mixed.
I have seen the 2 liter bottle sell for $1.79. Right now it is selling for
$1.28. Most of the groceries stores around here sell at $1.28, right now.
However, almost every week one chain is having a sale with the price being
at least $.99. I bought coke for $.69 on sale at Shaws only three weeks ago
while Walmart had it at $1.79.
The toys have been outrageously priced. Real toy stores also carried
a broad selection in addition to lower prices.
Bicycles are often horribly assembled at ALL of the local wal-marts. I make
it a project to review these bikes. They also tend to sell them at prices
such a $275 when they only paid Mongoose $10 for it. I've been watching these prices due to the bankrupcty and all of the lawsuits that walmart is receiving for poor assembly.
Bike stores are selling entry levle bikes in the same price range or
for slightly more with propery assembly and actual service.

Are we going to pretend camps such as Gitmo have not existed previously? Why doesn't someone make some comparisons to the legal context of the DP camps after World War II and the imprisonment of many German officers and soldiers for long
periods before they even received a trial?
They were fighting in uniform!
I look at the situation as a return to the 1940's and the 1950's after decades
of weakening Presidential power. We've just returned to the FDR regime, and it
isn't new. So can someone explain how the law changed in the meantime? I would
love to know.
If you think that I'm joking, then just remember that most people couldn't take pictures of much their surroundings during the 40's due to secrecy and security.

Lost, Medium, & Ghost Whisper are not sci-fi. I saw all of them. Stargate has been out for a long time. It is a very mature series that copies many themes from Star Trek. It has also drawn from Babylon 5 writing styles.
SG1 and Atlantis(two separate shows) are the only real sci-fi shows worth watching. Nothing else that is really sci-fi has been good so far. Oh... I forgot Battlestar... It is prtty good.
States will not release the sales tax money to them without proof. So they lose the sales tax
money, if they refund it to you without a receipt.
This is why the stores require a receipt for
a refund of sales tax. It is not a requirement of the law per se.
We import coal from South America on occasion to obtain the better emission outputs.
Much of our coal comes from Wyoming. We have
sent coal and a great deal of ores such as taconite to China. Canada is sending a lot
too.

Let me guess: you are an American. Let me answer at least a couple of the questions you just brought up: 3) Scientists are scientists (unless owned by a politician like the ones working for Bush that say global warming is OK..) and they are people who stay true to facts.
Many scientists have postulated a theory on global warming. There is not fact. Science has continually rewritten its "interpretation" on things. As you might know physics has different theories that do not agree with each other. The same in earth sciences.
