A long long time ago in a state that isn't mine a town decided they did not like the military presence from the local post and made life difficult by hassling soldiers on pass. Come payday the post CO paid everyone in $2 bills, since it was an unusual denomination. By then end of the day the town found out how much money the post brought into their little town. And everyone lived happily ever after.
Have none of you played No One Lives Forever 2?
Do you not know of the secret government plot to train sharks to use swim up Soviet rivers with nuclear weapons for a sneaky first strike? Of course we also had to train them to use special gear for fresh water, but after the classes in nuclear physics that was not problem ... and then some bright civilian had to go build a robotic shark for half the price.
Heart conditions are not a problem, just go to
Start > Settings > Control Pannel > Game Hardware > Shock Feedback Options and enable the Difibulator option.
In the event of cadiac arrest the computer will automatically re-start your heart, call the paramedics, reserve a room at the hospital, notify your family, and cancel your dinner reservations. That is unless the game locks up.
Lag would also be a pain if it happens right when you die.
You neglected to mention that the entire city counsel except one person is LDS. You also failed to address how such a large sale of public land that effects so many could happen with no public hearings. You also forgot that the sale was approved by the city but the state owned the property, that little oversight was quietly fixed with little media attention. The deal with Main Street would not have been able to happen the way it did if the city counsel had not been in the LDS Church's pocket.
Because Utah's legislature is controlled by the Mormon Church. Non-Mormons in Utah say that in our state the seperation of Church and State is exactly two city blocks. I don't think there is currently a non-mormon member of the senate or house of Utah.
Utah has a history of doing things that will result in huge court costs to the taxpayers. A few years ago they sold a section of Main street (also a state highway) to the Mormon Church so they could join two properties with a park. That's right, the church closed one block of Main street to traffic and turned it into a private park. All this was done under the table without any public hearings. The Catch: there was still a public right of way though the land, but the church decided to place "time, place and manner" restricitons on people in the park, which were enforced by private security. These included: church approved attire, no smoking, no drinking, no intoxication, no swearing, no prosthletizing (unless you were a Mormon missionary, then it's ok) no protesting, no picketing, no leafletting.. you get the idea. Of course this was challenged in court. The city and church sidestepped it by "trading" the right of way (also known as constitutional rights) for some bullshit land on the far side of town where no one lives. I guess you can put a price on the Bill of Rights.
Utah also created the position that came to be called the Porn Czar, but the actual title was far more Orwellian.
This is just business as usuall in Utah.
For every action there is an equal and opposite government program.
I'm not saying that recycling is not a noble idea, but I am sick to death of every little goverment agency dipping into my pocket. Most states already have disposal centers for things like TVs, monitors, batteries and other hazardous waste.
I was recently introduced to this stuff called "paper." Aparently you can take electonic signals and turn them into a "hard copy" or you can use a gizmo called a "pen" (kind of like a stylus) to interface directly with the Paper. Paper requires no batteries, or recharging, but I have been unable to locate any form of paper tech support.

So if R2 is doing social attacks on the network and plants a virus, does the Death Star then have a Social Disease?
