I completely agree. IFR is where we should have gone. It needs to be revived as Clinton quashed it in his first term. It was only three years from completion. We could start using Pebble Bed Reactor and transition over to IFR. We have had everything to make us energy dependent. As usual, politics got in the way.
But it has become the federal and state government's responsibility when the parents refuse to do their job. Our new president believes in using government to affect people's attitudes and mold them. More not less government will be enacted I fear. I hope I am wrong.
The closest right now is nuke. A site that explain the newer tech that makes nuke pretty much meltdown proof and also explains IFRs and their beauty of using 95%-98% of their fuel versus 2%-4% of normal reactors:http://strongforce.org/
I live in Ohio not to far from where this happened. A note on the judge James Burge. He is a defense attorney wearing a robe. He was trying to find any reason to let the boy off. Go here and listen to what the judge had to say. You will want to listen to hour 2 of 01/13/2009. I am tried of people electing idiots into office that keep eroding personal responsibility and place the blame on everything else. It is one of the things undermining this country and its citizens from being all they can be.
If you spend billions on a shuttle launch you ensure jobs for people who want to go into aerospace. Take the money away from that so you do not have any shuttle launchings and you have pretty much removed it from most people's minds.
I remember growing up in the 80's and the shuttle launches were a big thing. Now it hardly receives any coverage. It would be great to have a president with a mind for the future like JFK. Granted he wasn't perfect but it is better than a rehash of FDR ideas that have put us in the place we are in. That's my $.02. Go ahead and mod me down now.
ve" when Obama was talking about the fact that McCain would tax healthcare (ie, telling the truth)
Actually, the taxing healthcare remark was and still is a misrepresentation of McCain's healthcare bill. I would try to explain it,but it would be better to just go here for the facts: McCain's Healthcare Plan.
I had a bad feeling about this and I think I know why know. It is one thing to encourage, it is another to force. What happens when you don't comply and do the mandatory service time? Are you prosecuted as a criminal? I know I sound like an alarmist, but we really need to think these things through.
Don't worry, we are right behind on the other side of the pond. We just voted for insanely BIG government. I'm sure they are going to want to protect us as well, after all it is for the children so they can have an even more screwed up country. I here the Antarctic is nice this time of year...
. Because it is anything but small government and a non-intrusive government. However this:
an intolerant, far right party, dominated by evangelicals.
. Intolerant, they are absolutely. Focusing on far right is incorrect because far right would not use war as way to control but would be total isolationist. Also, it is hardly dominated by evangelicals because most evangelicals I know can't stand Bush or the neo-con Republicans. This is something portrayed by the media, as a few books have come out showing the Bush regimes true feeling towards Christians and how he used them to further his agenda.
So they just modify that a bit and then OMG Zombies... Seriously though, they obviously need to extend the type of testing done on animals to include the not so sterile lab rat. It is fascinating to think all that might be possible. I believe it is all the more important to remember that we don't understand half of what we think we do and the need to build in steps to test things we think aren't necessary.
The sad thing is the social security was never meant to be used as an id card. That is what a passport is for. This why our current situation is so skewed.
It sounds interesting, but I am not for governmental control or involvement. Most here believe less government is better government. Why would we want to involve an entity that can't even balance a checkbook get its hands on something this complicated. I'm sorry but I don't see George W, Hilary Clinton, Barack Obama, or John McCain doing an adequate job at all except to hose it up and force regulation and compliance. Our current issues will not be solved with this. They will only take on a new twist.
Because transparency is bad in a world market if you are trying to maximize your profit. The more convoluted the system is, the harder it is to for price comparison to find what the real value is. This was a problem at first when the Euro was made the dominant currency in Europe. People in one country found out quite easily they had been overpaying for the same item offered in another country by the same manufacturer. Similarly, if you make people buy different units just to use something that should be transparent, they get used to it and then they come to expect to pay more because that is how you have trained the consumer. That is why you need people like Nader around. He is good for consumer rights, but not good as a presidential candidate.
I agree with what has been said to a point. The problem I have noticed, and this my interpretation, that lately people seem to use such language more because they actually do lack vocabulary and a proper way to express themselves. I must admit that I do take some pleasure when I insult someone and they know they have been insulted, but are unable to understand it completely because they lack a decent vocabulary and an understanding of the English language. A slight smug look along with a well crafted insult and they walk away feeling dumb as they should. The problem I believe is that least has become acceptable instead of the pursuit of the better. Well, that's my two cents...

Not trying to be dick, but where is the link to verify what you are saying is in fact true? The only breakthroughs have been with adult stem cell. The following article is one doctor's opinion: http://www.21stcenturysciencetech.com/articles/winter01/stem_cell.html
I thought it ironic that this thing crashed with the environmental dignitaries being in Antarctica at the time. Had me laughing for about a minute.
Thankfully I'm stealing my neighbor's wifi, so I don't have to worry about being caught with a modem.
It is only stealing if it is unencrypted. Otherwise it is free in my book.

Nothing is soft when you are moving that fast.
say something about Stevie Nicks?

I hardly watch any of those channels anyways. I'll take the minute refund.
