Well I for one easily see how Mexico uses their moral imperative to rape, murder, and torture immigrants from their southern border. Anything is justified if you take at least one Chicano studies class.
If it is not self sustainable then it won't matter, and we are no where close to making a self sustainable environment even here on Earth where it would be easy in comparison.
The moon is easily sustainable with less infrastructure than you would need to start any small town in America. A minor investment in asteroid mining could easily provide every non-organic extra not found on the moon. Seeding hydroponic farms could feed thousands of people within a single cycle of harvest with technology that is 40 years old and proven.
Blah blah blah, and yet not one example at all of a "militant atheist". When you have to reach (in time, and metaphorically) back to the Soviet Union, and then equate socialism, with communism (there is a difference...) to slam atheists in modern day America, that speaks volumes.
So I take it you approve of the pro-Lenin/Mao death tolls? I guess those murders don't matter to an upstanding narcissist like you.
While I agree with you, I've had extended conversations with Ford Corporate on how we were a Ford family since 1982 and that has now changed. I regularly speak at community events in the San Diego area and I always now mention how Ford Motor Company is supporting censorship as a solution to copyright infringement. I hand my audiences all fliers describing the details in simple terms and explain to them that small to medium cap businesses on the Internet will all be targets of harassment from their competitors.
Many of my venues are VFW, Navy Fleet Reserve Associations, and other veterans groups. Most of these people understand what we have collectively sacrificed our blood to establish and censorship for the Entertainment industries' pathetic ability to compete is not it.
Also, I like to send Ford regular e-mail reminders that I am speaking out on the censorship they've backed and assure them that there are other families out there that believe life is more important than getting a vehicle from Ford. My wife is ready to buy a new car in two months and we will be looking at Subaru or Toyota for the first time, ever. I won't buy classic American companies anymore because Ford was the last one, IMO, and they're now sellouts willing to back assholes that want 200+ year copyrights instead of the public good.
Unfortunately, this is the only way you could get standing in the 9th District. All of us citizens are just here to finance the utopia, bend over, and STFU.
Don't worry. I'm sure Jane Fonda or Oprah will show up and provide relevant insight that the cowards in Congress can use to get elected another term. Unless, of course, they can use the information to get in on the ground floor of eight or so IPOs, first.
Which set of citations would you prefer? One that addresses the single data point you believe is a gotcha or the overall history of this government suppressing energy advances in favor of barely working solutions fraught with so many dangers they barely operate? Or would you prefer studies displaying the government-owned energy cartel's display of obscene profits that somehow get funneled into city and state coffers without any accountability to the people they claim to represent?
I watched a inventor's pre-carb unit allow a Cadillac get over 100 mpg on a test track back in the late 70's. There's plenty of evidence that energy cartels remove these products from the market one way or another.
Is there any evidence? At all? I've heard people say this kind of thing a lot, and it sounds like something might happen... but most of these stories are debunked with a trip to snopes.
Don't you find it interesting that snopes uses inuendo disproves nothing. I know the proving a negative and all that shit, but you seriously believe mileage technology hasn't ever increased? Billions invested by the government into energy research over decades and not a single increase in mileage efficiency?
So tell me, how many failed energy companies has this administration financed? The TARP spent more on beauty school tuition than on mileage improvements or new transportation technologies.
I think the point is that a straight gas tax would unfairly hit the drivers of cars disproportionately to their impact on the infrastructure, if the goal really is to simply pay for that infrastructure. If the goal is some other thing, like carbon reduction, then it leans more towards the straight tax.
I see you've not been to California, much. We never know the goal till we find out how many billions of dollars our welfare state has spent without any plausible form of stable funding other than (continually raising) taxes.
So which is more important to you? Getting the mileage or posturing that you have a lifestyle that doesn't need a truck? I have a Focus and and F-150. They both get used for function and while I get great mileage in the Focus it doesn't move yards of earth or other materials necessary for work.
No, actually we let the government-owned energy cartels get out of hand and feel distributive pain from the unmaintained and primitive energy distribution systems we endure today. If we had smart-grids and ample nuclear installations most of these costs would be moot.
But, keep drinking the kool-aid that the consumer caused this wreck and not the regulators that continue to subvert supply and demand in order to manipulate energy costs.
Yes, we call those lobbyists. Especially the ones supposedly elected to keep the peoples' interests at heart. Of course, when legislation magical gets framed to help the IPO Speaker of the House Pelosi benefited by where are all the economists then? Do they think that economies should be run by insider trading at the highest levels of government? From the reaction I've witnessed so far, apparently.

Gasoline is somehow our number one export in America right now but I paid $3.79 at the pump today.
Having put two kids through the San Diego system, I have plenty. I particularly liked the week my daughter was ordered to wear a burqa and threatened with failure for not doing so at my direction. Funny how American History class turned into teaching the foundations of Islam for about a month. I can do more... At Otay high school the school board tried to replace the entire music program with hip-hop dancing; an obvious job enhancer.

I always loved the part where you accidentally bought a game for an iPod with your iPhone account and their policy was, "tough". I'd say they're reaping what they sowed.
Or perhaps somebody was never a 12 year-old boy? You know, when the hormones kick in?
Hint: The smarter ones had lives even back then and were able to live happy and guilt-free not being Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses.

No doubt, your condescending tone comes from your meteoric understanding and insight into what "cool" really is. Or you're a fing drama queen.

How does someone win stopping a consumer from using a product they have purchased legally? Confused.

Which would obviously be safer testing on some barren unpopulated moon. Or is that too NIMBY for you?
How many terms did Washington serve? Grant? T. Roosevelt?
Actually, all three you cite served at least one more military term of service in support of this country than the current President.
Yes, because the space initiatives of America have produced absolutely nothing to better humankind. sheesh
I know, let's just spend more on supporting the regime of the month. That'll make everything better.

We're here to be pompous assholes that laugh in the face of American sacrifice that has protected the Earth from crazy people time and time again.
Here, fixed that for you.
Seriously, screw the lot of you. I'd bet Mr. Hawking's parents had a different viewpoint.

Professors are not allowed to collect royalties for books sold at the same college where they teach.
Having sold those books for professors to the same schools they teach at in California, I call bullshit.
At the very least, citation please?
I always loved the part where you accidentally bought a game for an iPod with your iPhone account and their policy was, "tough". I'd say they're reaping what they sowed.
And some of those jobs pay really well. $50k for a job in Afghanistan and virtually no taxes is quite a huge chunk of change.
$24/hr and change is worth Afghanistan? You have lost your fucking mind.

Except that it was veto-proof, and the Corporate Media would have burned the country down over him vetoing it.
Do you even understand WTF a bully pulpit means?
Man, you guys watch Obama virtually validate almost every single thing that Bush 43 did and you keep making up excuses for him.
At least vote in Romney so we can get some freakin' jobs out the deal and possibly turn research back on in the country.
