I would think that would have to do with where on the ground it was detonated. Focused detonation into a caldera the size of Yellowstone would definitely destroy the world food supply for billions of people.
Mainly because it's that backup plan, the Hail Mary, The "I really don't want to do this but enough is enough". It's there in case the States no longer agree with the Federal Government. If it's eroded before then it's not worth anything.
Really, who would be worried about the a government that could do a quick search and find every Jew based on browsing history and email?/sarcasm off
The government building profiles on it's citizens has been abused many times in history and will continue to be. It should not be given the power to do so.
Think your taking his/her statement backwards. I took it to mean that he/she meant that it is acceptable to be a bigot to southern white males in this society. I have found this to be quite true. On most commercials the white male father is considered an idiot. Most Southerners are called redneck or poor white trash and frequently referred to in association with the practices of incest and bestiality. This is quite common and prolific in the US.
Farmed was incorrect. Explored and timbered would be more correct. There is evidence of trading with the natives too. As well the line four hundred years before Columbus is written poorly. I should have been. "It continued to be explored and Timbered for four hundred years, before Columbus was even born." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norse_colonization_of_the_Americas#cite_note-14
No, I think you have got it wrong. This country is here because of the the people who pushed the envelope and created new ideas. To give the credit of aircraft solely to the government when people like the Wright brothers that put their lively hood and personal safety on the line for a dream is messed up. The light we use every day was made by people investing in them selves for profit ( Edison, Tesla, and tons of other inventors). The electric power you find in your house was designed and built by personal investment (Tesla and Edison). With private funds. Cars were first invested and built by private funds ( Ford, Karl Benz). The telephone was a by private investment (Bell). Some of the first universities in the US were by private funds (Washington). The same with hospitals (Pennsylvania Hospital). All of these were done by private entrepreneurs that wanted to make a dream or idea. NASA would not have been able to build a single rocket without the technology developed by private industry in this country. So you may want to ignore all the people who invested their life savings and personal safety and health to push a dream and give all the credit to a Government entity that has managed to run the costs of any simple thing to extravagance. But I won't.
Yes SpaceX had prior art to work with from NASA. However even NASA now has to mine old museums to create new rockets because they didn't keep any proper documentation of their moon rockets. And in their attempt to reduce costs they created a monster that ate 450 million per launch and is the leading killer of astronauts.
Lief Erickson in 1001 explored, without government assistance, the new world. It continued to be explored and farmed for four hundred years before Columbus. Flying was the big thing and tons of people were dabbling and hobbying in it. The Wright brothers used their own capital from a bike business to finance the development of the control systems you see in all modern aircraft. The first non stop flight from New York to Paris was done without Government financing and was profitable. It created the Lindbergh Boom and single handedly pushed aviation mainstream and created a commercial push of aviation. To the point that air travel increased 3000% in three years. It's interest lasted till the Great Depression.
They did plan to get to the station, They did engineer brand new state of the art rocket engines that run on different fuel, they did build it in a state of the art brand new factility, and they did pay for it with less money than the cost of one nuclear submarine. Now you could argue that the money was from government contracts for transport to ISS, But I would argue right back, that NO ONE does transport for as cheap as they do. One launch is cheaper than a ride on a russian rocket and SpaceX had multiple cargo. And that Tesla fully paid back it's government loan ahead of schedule.
So can you really honestly say that NASA could have, rebuilt its rocket program from the bottom up, designed and built a manufacturing center for it, as well as a launch center with testing for the rockets for less than the cost of three shuttle launches?
" If you go to rural areas in the south people still call black people nigger." Funny I see people on tv say that all the time, as well on the radio, and even in town. The majority of the people even seem to have a darker skin color.
Seems little weird to limit the use of a word because of a particular skin color.
True racism is alive in the south but it is alive and well on radio, tv, and in most neighborhoods.
Your probably right. It's not like he put in a whole new privatized space program at a cost less than a nuclear submarine. With a launch charge cheaper than the cost of a ticket to ISS.
"Killing a few lighter passengers vs not saving a large proportion of the population that fails to follow another regulation is not necessarily a bad thing."
The technology for multi stage airbags was around before the mandates for airbags. DOT had a prototype car made that could save all passengers in it from a head on 50 mile an hour crash with no seat belts. ( http://jalopnik.com/5549518/how-the-us-government-killed-the-safest-car-ever-built )
"Killing a few lighter passengers" could have been avoided if that technology had been integrated into the system.
Regulations are great but not when the focus is moved from people safety to profit safety.
Because the robot essentially has X-ray vision. Infrared imaging will go right through skin and ultrasound can handle the fat in pudgier patients. The robot would actually look at the vein and see where to place the needle. Where a tech has to guess where the vein is and may try a couple times to hit it, or have the vein roll on them.
"At keast humans have that envelope protection called 'common sense'."
If this were true we wouldn't have problems with people texting and driving. We wouldn't have warning labels on everything from plastic bags to baby toys, as well we wouldn't have a sign on airplane doors saying " do not open during flight"
Always assume people are idiots, that way at least you arer surprised once in awhile when one isn't.
I don't see it being super expensive. Computer technology has come a very long way and hardly utilized at all for driver training in the US. I think they should setup some simulators, get people driving in then and make actual avoidance of the most common accidents mandatory for driver testing to get a license.

While I do agree the majority of teachers I have met have more Liberal leanings I have personally found they truly want to help the children and the ones that mess up the works are the school administration/school board.
Out of all the insane and crazy ideas I have seen at schools the amount presented by teachers had been extremely low. You really want to mess up a childs life try to run it based solely on politics.
Your plan does not remove the belligerent person. But does make sure the victim is unable to defend themselves. However since most machine shops on the planet can create a firearm from plane stock steel. I really don't see how your plan will ever work. Your just creating a black market for firearms.
If you want to solve the problem you have to treat the cause no the symptom. Gun violence is a sub category of violence. It is a symptom.

They did target a strategic military target. The passengers took out the terrorists and crashed the plane rather than let the military target get hit.

Define "quite regularly".

It's a lot easier to take the M1 out if your in it with the gun.

But there is asteroid mining, There is a ton of rare earth metals up there.

Didn't you know Elon Musk is Tony Stark.

Evidently you have never driven on the 101 in California, High speed and earthquakes is a California tradition.

That's what if feels like when you drive in Los Angeles.
