Maybe make it like the NFL draft- if New Hampshire wants to be first so badly, make them give some concessions to the state that got the highest turnout in order to swap places.
Perhaps this will bring about some long-needed reform of the primary system- rather than have this leapfrog phenomenon, just have 10 primaries for each of 5 months, randomizing which states are in which of the 5 groups every cycle. Start it the 3 week of Jan, we'd be done by May. Simple and fair.
I think you're basically making my point: that there is no fundamental difference in the structure, just the size. Just because Catholic schools are hookin' em young doesn't mean it's not brainwashing. I think a better way of defining things is that a cult is a young religion, a religion is an old cult.
Carol Lam got fired after getting a $4.7 million settlement against the Golden State Co. for using illegal immigrants to build the border fence. If you can explain how her firing was above reproach, I'll give you a cookie. My guess- punishment for putting Duke Cunningham behind bars.
Most of the countries are in the 5-10% range. Japan is at 30, Switzerland is at 13. The US pulls in the rear at 0.13%. Nobody's saying rail is THE answer, there are many answers that are part of a bigger solution. Just imagine what would happen to our trade deficit if we cut our consumption of oil by 5-10%.
I'd say before bringing up religion, that most music around the world in the past has either been about getting laid or not getting laid, just like nowadays.
Just more stuff that will break the week after the warranty runs out. This is why I just bought a pickup (02 Tacoma)- thank god Toyota still makes vehicles with the bare necessities- no power windows, no power locks, two knobs on the radio, 3 knobs on the heater, manual tranny, simple shifter to get in/out of 4wd. Granted, not all are car luddites like me, but at least there's still a choice.
My guess is that the next major terrorist attack will be carried out by a person or persons with valid ID cards, but this will not result in any minds being changed.
It would seem to me that the Canadians would have a ready response for this sort of thing (and would be able to use it over and over for the next few decades): No oil for you!
I think this drives at the heart of the question of whether recorded music is a private good, or a public good. I think a logically valid argument can be made either way, but it will ultimately boil down to a value judgment. If the result of that judgment is that recorded music is purely a private good, than a purely capitalistic arrangement without state intervention or legal cartel protection in the market would be optimal. However, if there is a public benefit to recorded music, then I would say the optimal arrangement would be to have the government tax the listening public and pay that tax to the recording artists themselves; something sort of akin to the state subsidization of artists in the Soviet Union. I'm not saying one arrangement is better than the other, but notice- under either system, there is no need for a cartel like the RIAA. All they contribute is market inefficiency.

And here is the data for 2004.
A tanker truck full of maple syrup? Sure, why not? Or for lack of imagination, how about cold hard cash?

How big does a cult have to get before it molts into a religion? It seems to me like size is the only difference.
Nobody ever died from having too much music.
baby boomers were also the hippies then. that means much. yeah, it means they were always full of shite.
And at least one third of them must be en Francais!

If they haven't been already, I'd suspect the hard drives in question are being shredded as I type.
Chevron or Duke Energy will just buy the patent and shelve it.
They should have clarified if they meant prior or posterior probability.

I don't know about these "liters" of which you speak, but 100 mpg = 50,400 fph (furlongs per hogshead).
You forgot Poland.
Costco. They pay their employees well and have a good return policy.

It has a funny spokesman on those mac ads.
