    HCR does not allow you to get benefits after the fact....it taxes you for being a stupid fuck and covers you for that tax payment.

    Can I take my horse out on to I-75? No? then I have a right to get access to drive...

    Remember...Rights can be taken away from people with just cause....and an individual can choose not to exercise his or her rights. Not being able to drive because you are a drunk driver and not being handed a free car because you are too poor to own one does not mean driving is not a right.

    We had a good friend, Ilona Daukiene, who died that way. She was a very gracious hostess, and the beloved wife of an amazing man. We enjoyed his "Freedom in English" camps in Lithuania.

    The story is here.

    Yes, global warming plays into the story. But a huge part is the destruction that planned economies create.

    No, the tea-baggers aren't exaggerating. What they've been saying is real.

    If an app is running then it has a little box around it. if there are multiple windows open for an app it has a stacked look. If it is not running then it is simply the app icon. Pretty simple and intuitive.....Just like Windows 7

    but you had the benefit of massive inflation in wages that People in their late 20's and early 30's will probably not have so their loans will not shrink as quickly or as in much magnitude as a part of their income as they enter their 40's.

    Unless you are looking for a dual use device, the monitor will end up serving you better in my experience because all the price goes to making it work well as a computer monitor. the TV is meant to work well as a TV.

    even with zero barriers, if there are only a small number of people compared to the market that might consider buying the device, they will not produce it because of the costs to produce, advertise and sell the product to such a small number of people eat up the profits.
