Our actions are constrained in all manner of ways for the greater good. You can't drive at 90mph down a freeway in the wrong direction; it does indeed make you morally inferior if you do.
Personal liberties are not absolute proof against a society, or indeed, an entire civilization trying to save itself.
Beyond that, do you think the universe cares about your ideological or moral views? Do you think a hurricane a drought can be prevented by Libertarian extremism? Do you think the universe will alter the laws of physics based on the makeup of the US Congress or on some strident interpretation of the Constitution?
There has to be some point when reality takes you by the balls and yanks you out of your ideological underpinnings. The universe doesn't fucking care about you, not one fucking little bit. It will squash a Libertarian just as easily and with as little thought as a Republican, Democrat, socialist, anarchist, Presbyterian, atheist or whatever. This idea that you can counter reality with rhetorical lectures is beyond bizarre.
Oddly enough, at least some people think the long term survival of our civilization is a tad more important than your ideological leanings. I know, that seems shocking, seeing as you believe you should be constrained by no interest but your own, but there you have it.
It's going to get tough for some people. We Canadians eagerly await the northward shift of the grain belt. We promise to be gentle masters of the Americans, providing they behave yourselves. And we won't charge too much for water.
That really gets to the crux of the matter. If the EU managed to achieve the technical and regulatory means to this end, the simple fact is that some aggregator or versioning service outside EU jurisdiction can render all that effort meaningless.
I'm a member of several technical mailing lists, with many of the archives stores in North America and some even mirrored, because such archives can prove invaluable and will likely remain so for many years to come. Simply put, not only is the EU's goal likely hopelessly unfeasible, but a dubious exercise that could seriously undermine one of the long term valuable aspects of retaining data.
Ultimately it's like passing a law to retroactively stop people's farts from sinking.
I don't think your average business dedicated to parting pathetic gambling addicts and thrill junkies from their cash could stand the deep irony of a series of films based on parting the money of your average business dedicated to parting pathetic gambling addicts and thrill junkies from their money.
There are still questions as to whether HP Lovecraft's later works are public domain, so I think LotR and the Hobbit, both of which had second editions published in the 1960s are very much still under copyright.
What's more, it seems likely that major elements of this Hobbit "trilogy" are based in part of writings not published until 1980 in Unfinished Tales.
So far as I understand it, the licensing agreements that JRRT sold did not extend to marketing, so I would imagine that the Estate retains the right of approval for any marketing.
AC/DC isn't metal. They're stuff is pretty much juiced up rock and roll and they happen to have as a key member probably one of the best blues guitarists around.
It is not a straight line between local weather conditions and climate. I have no idea why you would try to peddle such a ludicrous oversimplification.
Weather is not climate. You're not keeping it real, you're posting a fallacious argument (fallacy of equivalence by the looks of it) and then ending them with "Just keepin' it real."
The 1998 claim has been peddled for the last six or seven years. It's bullshit, but the AGW skeptic crowd are like Creationists, and let no claim, no matter how frequently debunked, go to waste.
Why should I care about bankers. I pay attention to what scientists say.
Look, even the Koch's are giving up the ghost. Time to face reality. The universe doesn't subscribe to the Wall Street Journal and doesn't donate money to the Heartland Institute, and it most certainly doesn't give one sweet fuck about you, I, our economic ideologies or political ideologies.
Why do you need to refer to Gore or bankers, when the scientists are telling you what is happening? And no, the Heartland Institute does not do science.
It may not stop, but I think in the wake of the absolute ass-kicking the pundits faced at the hands of Nate Silver and other groups of statisticians, their coin has been pretty heavily devalued. This has been utter humiliation for the pundits.
The problem here isn't for the Rush Limbauhghs. They're audience is largely made up of paranoid hysterics, the types that are proof against any kind of logical, statistical analysis of anything. But for the slightly less foaming-at-the-mouth pundits who insisted that the math geeks had it all wrong, that you couldn't predict an election if national polls were too close, it's an utter repudiation of them. They well and truly had no bloody idea what they were talking about, that their intuition meant absolutely nothing.

You're a complete fucking idiot, but I applaud for having the courage not to post your moronic mutterings as an AC.

Thank you for such an indepth peek into a sociopath's mind.

Oh shut up you fucking troll.
I'm sure from one of the many fine firms that supply patent attorneys.
Sales figures would suggest otherwise. Both have nearly equal global sales, and are among the biggest sellers of all time.
Love DSOTM, but there's nothing quite like the experience Back In Black played very loud while cruising down the highway.
AC/DC isn't metal. They're stuff is pretty much juiced up rock and roll and they happen to have as a key member probably one of the best blues guitarists around.
Artists have a hard enough time getting royalties and accounting out of labels. Asking for statistics is shooting for the moon.
Are you one of those Libertarian asshats that cloaks your sociopathic tendencies in ideology?
It is not a straight line between local weather conditions and climate. I have no idea why you would try to peddle such a ludicrous oversimplification.
I'm curious. Do you think the universe gives a fuck about the market place?

No folks, AGW did not stop in 1998.

Unless something comes along and fucks with that cycle. Like, say, global climate change.
People used to joke about Canada becoming the 51st state. Maybe, in fifty years, they'll joke about the United States becoming the 11th province.
Why do you need to refer to Gore or bankers, when the scientists are telling you what is happening? And no, the Heartland Institute does not do science.

Sort of like Congressmen.
