It's most likely a scam to get people to talk about Rolling Rock. Why spend money to develop giant lasers when you can generate word of mouth hype with a few bill boards. Side note; Rolling Rock tastes like piss.
1. They lowered the most highway speeds to 55MPH. They might not make new speeding laws, but they certainly alter speed zones to generate revenue.
2. I believe there was a story a while back about police borrowing impounded vehicles. Seems like an incentive.
3. I've never had a rebate from the government when they collect more than they were expecting. You are correct though, we should separate bad individual behavior from policy. It's unfortunate that those that are behaving in unethical and immoral ways are writing the policy.
I doubt the police are that naive. The truth is, the war on drugs employs quite a few people. As for politicians, saving your children from scary drugs makes a great talking point.
I never said that I was currently bored, but I expect that I would be eventually. There is only so much media (books, movies, live entertainment) to consume and traveling will eventually become repetitive.
You really believe that a longer perspective would make people CARE about the environment and the rest of humanity? Perhaps I've grown too pessimistic, but I have little hope for the general population.
You really want to go to work every day for the next N years? Even if I had a great job, I still wouldn't want go to work every day. Dealing office politics, meetings, clients, etc is not my idea of a wonderful eternity.
As for this great vision of eternal life, it all lies on the assumption that your mind will stay sharp and intact. Can you imagine an eternal life locked in the body of an Alzheimers patient?
I don't mind paying for public education even though I plan on sending my future children to private schools. What object to is the horrible standards that have been set. How do they justify a student costing $25,000 per year when a better, private school normally costs $3,000-5,000? Teacher's unions and corrupt administration have destroyed the American public school system at the tax payers expense.
I have a netflix subscription that I use frequently. Usually 2-3 movies per week. However, there are times when I end up with two movies that my wife added to the list that I have NO interest in watching. She make take two or three weeks to turn them around. Is it wrong that I download a couple of DVDs in the mean time? I would have gotten them from Netflix anyways, so I don't see any problem with it.
Why would I want a service that requires me to travel to a B&M to get digital media? With a little foresight, Netflix + DVR provide more than enough content.
There's a difference between effort and aptitude. Not everyone can be a Michael Jordon or Albert Einstein, but that doesn't mean you should stop trying to compete.

Almost every problem with the public school system is a direct result of poor administration. I have already decided to do what ever it takes to put my kids into private schools.

Wow, this should really be modded up. Why would anyone spend that kind of cash?

"as we roll out new machines. "
That's why. Why should we purchase new behemoth machines just to run an OS? Compared to XP, vista is a sloth.

"I think the world probably would be better if we had stuck with horse-drawn carts, from a purely environmental perspective."
So go for it. The Amish do welcome people into their community if they're willing to convert. What's that? You'd miss the convenience of modern life?
It's nice to think that 'voting them out' would make a difference. The truth is, both sides are screwing us.

They're trying to use DX10 to force people to 'upgrade' to a shitty OS. Yup, we have plenty reason to complain.
Who would want to live forever? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy life. Somehow, I expect it would get extremely dull after a while.
I should have qualified that I was referring to k-12.

This is great post and it should have been modded higher.

You should have been modded up. I wish I had teachers this creative when I was in school.

Did you notice the also bought section?
Hopefully the crowd kicked the living shit out of him.
He 'declined' to jump in with anyone that had an ounce of skill. Just another reason to hate the bastard.
Tell that to the Dems in Chicago. Stupid bastards are crying for more gun control when it's already illegal to purchase, own or carry a firearm.
I enjoy a bi-annual LAN party. My heart is normally pumping after an intense session, but I never feel violent.
I'm from Illinois and I deny it too.
