I think we're capable of focusing on multiple issues at the same time. There's already work being done on debt (though that's not a real issue for most people), and China is where all our cheap plastic crap come from so that's not all that interesting. This issue is relevant to a lot more people.
From my experience, the Israeli system concentrated on screening checked luggage more than people. They did require a background check and then there was a minor interrogation at the gate, but as for screening, they didn't have anything more than the standard x-ray (though they did rummage through checked luggage if you didn't have a security check).
They don't speed up the process though. I was flying through Logan airport the other day and they were sending 2 people through the metal detector, and every third through the scanner. Also, in the metal detector you can take non-metal items like a wallet, but through the scanner they require you to take all that out.
But in the time before a company like Ford filled the gap, the workers of GM and the whole supply chain would be out of work, doing even more harm to the economy. Much better to have GM reworked to a viable company.
That's also a common confusion. The bill was predicted to prevent unemployment rising, but the numbers were picked based on the current conditions rather than the conditions when it actually was enacted. By the time the bill was in action, unemployment was already at 10%.
- Democrats - Failed to clean-up the mess caused by BP oil spill
That would be BP's responsibility, the gov't has done all that it can, though arguably it could've done more to prevent it (see TFA)
- Democrats - passed that damn Banker Bailout Bill of 2008, despite 80% opposition by americans
But saved the economy and made a nice profit for the government
- Democrats - passed the Healthcare NON-reform Bill of 2010, despite 70% opposition by americans
But the same americans polled on the parts of that bill were much more in favor. And it provided many protections and extended coverage
- Democrats - passed a 800 billion stimulus that has done anything but; in fact ~100 billion of that cash was mailed overseas
anything but - except for preventing a depression, providing jobs for millions of americans, and giving tax breaks to small businesses to help them weather the recession.
If you're going to accuse the democrats of something, at least look for their failures.
Well it's very easy to turn it off, just click the settings link at the top of the page.
The drop down also does not obscure any of the page, it pushes it down.
If you don't want to use new helpful Google features, you have the option to opt out of them, but Google does a significant amount of testing on their pages for usability so I'm sure most people will find these features helpful.
How did the crew of BSG no float around, given that they were in space?
That does come up in one episode near the end when they find a damaged raptor. They dead pilots are floating and the person investigating radios back that the artificial gravity was broken. Basically that and the jump drives are the only real implausible things with today's technology.

They also have to take a 4 hour ethics class and the professor won't help them with anything in the future.
Yeah I'm sure they were all rushing to take that 4 hour ethics class
Well Amtrak makes jabs at it with their commercials "take your shoes off only if you want to" and the like.

Obviously it's not 30 years old if we observed its creation in 1979, that would make it 31.
Well it should at least be an achievement on Slashdot!

At Heathrow I showed up 3 hours early and had plenty of time to go shopping at the gate.

You know what also introduces uncertainty in the economy? The economy collapsing in a depression.
That's also a common confusion. The bill was predicted to prevent unemployment rising, but the numbers were picked based on the current conditions rather than the conditions when it actually was enacted. By the time the bill was in action, unemployment was already at 10%.
Yes, but the idea is that the economy will recover, grow stronger, then we will have more money to deal with the deficit.
Ah the key is you think the stimulus money is coming from taxes - it's actually coming from the future and being passed into the economy now.

On the other hand, the typical speed provided to the consumer is 5-25 Mbps so until they start upping that dramatically, it's not going to matter.

Building a realistic robot seems more in reach than an instant intergalactic transport or modifying gravity.

Britain also still users miles instead of km, though they've converted most other things.
Then I can hook up my HP Laserjet III and print stuff off my iPod!
What about the mystery of how it took 1.5 years to get from the pilot to the end of one season?
