Because America doesn't already have the highest per-capita rate of firearms ownership and the highest per-capita rate of homicides by firearm in the world.
Oh, wait...
Oh look, a moron who makes up statistics because "I hate guns".
Yes, but learning to read the signals is much a better strategy in the near term, as opposed to waiting multiple generations for human nature to change.
...cursive is just a way of trying to make your writing prettier.
No, it is most certainly not. You're missing the point. It's not for looking pretty, it's for writing quickly quick while retaining legibility.
My handwriting sucked until sometime in 3rd of 4th grade I quit trying to make my writing look like what was in the copy-books and started figuring out how to form the letters in a way that was fast *for me* and still neat for those trying to read it. Within a year I went from bottom of the class to having my handwriting shown off as an example, and I still receive compliments on it. And I can write much faster than most people I know.

No, "or" would make it quite clear that the the power generated by clean tech is greater than any *one* of the alternatives. This is what we have the word "or" for.
I've tried offering my services to Slashdot on more than one occasion, but they don't seem terribly interested in having an editor who can actually, you know, edit.
You won't find many open APs in China, since the official policy there is that all Internet users must be identifiable. Certainly not in cafés or what have you. Generally you have to register for username/password and receive it by email.
What I usually end up doing in such places is flirting with the girl behind the counter until she offers to let me use hers. Unless my wife is with me, of course.;)
Some of us do this thing known as "work" with our browsers. Making radical changes in my UI with neither prior warning nor a built-in way to revert to the previous layout is not something which I find to be particularly workflow-friendly.
There. Managed to say it without foaming at the mouth, this time.;)

I think it's time to play the [citation needed] card. See, raise, or fold--up to you, mate.
That was TWENTY YEARS AGO...
Hey, you're pretty smart.
A pox on both your houses.
My IT career didn't even *start* until I was 32 or 33, it's 20 years later now... and I'm doing just fine, thanks.
This.

Your proposed charge for complaints is too low by at least an order of magnitude.
I'm seeding torrents of the latest releases of a couple of Linux distros right now. Not piracy. KFGY.
WTF are you going on about? Seriously?

Regulate != outlaw.

I hereby disqualify grim-one on strong suspicion of being Aussie. ;)
Here's another theory, from an MEP (Julia Reda, Pirate Party, DE) who thinks it's German publishers wanting to charge "ancillary copyright" licence fees for linking to their publications.

You talking about 110 GHz networking, or the prediction that the singularity would occur in January 2012?
Torrents, my good man. Torrents.
Dear me, you must have missed "THREEE-DEEE PRINTERS IN SPAAAAAAAAACE" that was posted... um, yesterday.
But I... can... no longer... resist... the tide.
Very well. This article sucks. Most of Bennett's articles mostly suck.
Where do I pick up my bucket of tar and feathers?
You might do better to ask why yours seems to pretend it couldn't happen.
AC, please. Anybody with five minutes--and the sense that God granted a goose--can see you're attempting to rewrite history in a pretty major fashion.
China would like to speak to you about paper, gunpowder, the printing press, the magnetic compass, and the fork. Amongst other things.
You've evidently got me mixed up with someone else who said things that I did not. Thanks for playing, though.
