    I know very little about missiles,

    Your in good company Postal and Lewis don't either, they are only counting a hit when the warhead is hit but if the propulsion section is hit they count it as a miss there argument comes from the misnotion that hitting the body won't stop the missile. Even in multistage missiles such a violent collision will make the missile inoperable as the SM-3 does damage with kinetic energy not an explosion.

    700k that's a drop in the bucket, when dealing with government never forget they excel at burning up money with little result, 8 people could easily eat up that in a few months. 2 people doing the actual work of finding Gary 3 auditing the system to figure out what he has accessed (they will go from computer to computer and audit each one so it will take much longer then auditing through a server also the time lost by the user from auditing their computer will be included in the cost) 1 to manage and 2 to fill out the mountains of paper work. It's not that they are fudging the numbers to reach the threshold it's that they are that inefficient.

    Except for recent rules where expats are required to report any foreign bank account with more than $10K and failure to do so can result in serious penalties.

    That's why they open multiple bank accounts with 10k in them.

    It's not a Judges job to look at the common American and make decisions, it's their job to take into account the Constitution and court precedent and make their argument based on logic not a warm fuzzy feeling for helping the little guy. Being an administrator at a college and a lawyer for Clinton, does not qualify a person to make these decisions. A justice of the supreme court should be there because of their qualifications not their political capital.

    You should familiarize yourself with the book "Your Life, Your Choices" aka The Death Book it was written in 1997 and adopted by the VA shortly after. The Bush Administration axed it and Obama brought it back. The basic summary is if you get a debilitating injury you should take into account how difficult you are going to make your families life by existing and you might want to consider refusing treatment to save them of this. That is how the VA treats it's patients right now, they try to guilt them into refusing expensive care and die. Robert Pearlman the main author has been a long supporter of health care rationing so the save money motive seems reasonable.

    This story shows why it is so important to discuss your wishes. Talking with your family and health care providers ahead of time can prevent confusion and help ease the burden on them.

    Are you really that stupid to realize how bad your analogy is. Comparing an accidental spill to intentionally diverting sewerage is hardly an intelligent comparison. If BP pays for the impact we all will pay as consumers of oil, we're fucked either way. So you and your libtard buddies can rail against evil big oil and how we should all ready have battery powered cars that can run for 500 miles and only use power plants that run on sunshine, wind, and unicorn horns but the truth of it is we're not there yet we need oil and unless we want to keep sending money over to the middle east we should use our own.

    Most people won't argue that the lines the telecoms use were purchased by the taxpayers and should be open. what many do object to is a government entity that can write and enforce it's own laws side stepping checks an balances. If net-neutrality is going to happen a law must be written by congress passed in both the house and senate then approved by the president, not the FCC declaring that it can regulate the telecoms and then imposing new rules and fining any company that breaks them. So contact the democrats and ask them why they have chosen not to pass this law they have a majority in both house and senate and should easily find votes from republicans in the senate to stop a filibuster as long as that is all that is in the law.
