The brand hasn't been damaged at all..I spoke with several sales guys and they are selling cars just fine. All the sales are back to normal or are higher than before.
Maybe you are right, but anymore it's hard to trust anything coming out from government employees. I grew up in Eastern Europe where a clean environment wasn't anywhere on the list of the commies...as kids we used to break up thermometers and play with the mercury inside for days. Melting led into our own molds to make toys was something we loved doing. Bottom line is that while education helps, there are hazards all around us with the media and the State constantly scaring the hell out of us with everything and anything under the sun. That's how they stay employed...
It sounds like the EPA pulled the "safe level" out of their asses. If it was as dangerous as our bureaucrat overlords claim, babies should instantly burst into cancerous blobs of puss...yet longevity is longer than ever and more humans than ever live longer and healthier lives.
Good thing the Almighty State is there to get our backs (wink,wink) -- if we could only be more thankful by letting them tax us more and more.
We constantly find new and amazing ways to kill each other more easily. Too bad this much effort doesn't go in other directions which are more beneficial to mankind, and are aimed at saving lives rather than taking them.
It would be interesting to consider democratic elections in this context; if this is indeed true (and I am not taking either side), then the idea of democracy in itself is crap as it is in essence crowdware.
Why not get a used 3G iphone? They are dirt cheap now...unlock it, put a prepaid AT&T card in it if you so desire, or just put skype on it if you want to use WiFi only.
Both sides are playing politics while the gulf is getting screwed. The judge's ownership of stock is as irrelevant as Obama taking millions in campaign contributions from BP.
How does it compare with efficiency of propane cooling? For the foreseeable future propane will continue to be created by oil industry, regardless of the idealism of some environmentalists, so it will continue to be used in homes for heating. For cost-saving purposes, propane fridges and freezers are being used quite often in remote areas - they are also extremely efficient. I am curious how the two systems compare in efficiency.
Who is "the government?" Don't tell me it's "us" because if that was the case, then "us" would not infringe on the rights of "us." Clearly the State had become a separate entity...a machine that stands alone from the citizens, it needs taxation by force in order to survive.
Good luck getting the State to resolve the problems of the State. It will happen really really soon!
Obama continues on the path of Bush and his other predecessors, pandering to the big military complex and spending huge amounts of money on products which may or may not work. The military industry wins either way - they get to sell anti-missile products, whether they work or not, OR technology for nukes, whether they are dismantled or not.
China also eventually wins as all the R&D money we spent on this stuff ends up in their hands.
Well said. The issue is not as straightforward as we often make it.
My issue is with the idea that somehow democracy is this glorious ideal, when in fact it's little more than the tyranny of the majority. I don't care if it's about liberals using the State to take my property through taxation, or conservatives using the State to tell me that I can't smoke pot if I so desire. It's tyranny - thus, it cannot be the answer.
In a voluntary society it is our own interests that would motivate us to look hard at the evidence for or against global warming, thus we would be forced to deal with the problems rather than discard it onto the shoulders of the State.
This is the place where science wins every time, and "democracy" or its tyranny will always lose against truth.
I don't think so...at the same time, this guy has to be the first environmentalist to speak the truth behind their extremist message: it's about controlling people's lives, and less about the environment.

Sure...and the government assholes that exploded over 2,000 nukes in the last century really give a shit about your health...

If the shrimp choose to swim towards my frying pan then so be it...who am I to argue with drug induced suicidal tendencies?

That's fascinating. Did you design it yourself, and do you have any plans or suggestions on how to transition a traditional AC system to propane?

This is nonsensical desperation to come up with something new...not research that has any positive results that can lead to innovation.

"All pupils' details are erased when they leave school."
They promise...this time is true! For real!
Wait...is this a case where anti-copyright people are complaining about someone stealing their stuff?
It's Bush's fault that Obama is reducing the nuke arsenal? That's a new one!

Those who did believe Obama is "different" should watch Ron Paul's What If speech and wake up.
What if the asteroid contains a dangerous life form? Don't these people watch any sci-fi movies?
I think the headline is in itself better than the substance of the story! Is Jobs punching holes in the walls now?

The alternative to democracy is a voluntary society.

If we only manage to get Jesus to come back and stop this...now that the Antichrist is clearly manifested and alive!
It has a lot to do with it...China is manipulating DNS for political reasons. I would say that's a problem...
...you shouldn't listen to student lawyers that still can't grow a mustache!
The Israelis have already shown that DNA can be replicated and an innocent individual could be implicated in a crime without his or her knowledge.
Only an ignorant fool would advocate what this guy is advocating!
