    It's more obtrusive to the other patrons--not to the user, who is, after all, not the one who is quite possibly having every dropped crumb and dab with the napkin recorded for posterity.

    I thought people weren't given mod points unless they had working sarcasm detectors? Silly me.

    The classic example is signing a contract whereby you sell yourself into slavery.

    Even if you willingly sign such a contract, and receive the money from the buyer, it still has absolutely no force under US law, since it's against the law there for one human to own another.

    Also, "The Federalist Papers". A must read for anyone who wishes to understand the thinking behind the creation of our Constitution.

    A most worthwhile read, yes, but it does not constitute any part of US law.

    warming actually makes it easier for animals to live, it is allowing species to move farther north than ever before...

    That works real well if you disregard the animals already living there who were adapted to the cold climate and now have nowhere to go.

    The Great Depression is more a USA thing.

    I'm sure the Germans who were paying a million marks for a loaf of bread ca. 1931 would readily agree with this statement as they wheeled their barrow-loads of banknotes to the neighbourhood grocery.

    A 20-degree increase using the temperature scale that's ubiquitous (everywhere except the US) would make Europe nearly uninhabitable. A 30-degree increase...? Well, 45C = 113F. 55C = 131F.
