    You'll probably shout racist and Nazi - but eliminate inner city gang members from those stats and we do a lot better. We don't really have a prison or illiteracy issue - we have a dependency issue that's encouraged and furthered by the Democrats. And the victims are overwhelmingly black, hispanic, and poor.

    No, you're not in America. You're either in North America, or South America. Those are the continents. If you say "I'm in America", then you're in the USA. If you say you're in North America, then you're in Panama or one of the countries up to and including Canada. If you say you're in South America, it's Colombia down to Argentina/Chile. Saying you're in America without meaning the USA is highly ambiguous.

    Sales in general - media or downloaded - is dead. It's streaming, making up 75% of music consumption. CDs, albums, online sales are duking it out to see who can be the winner of the irrelevancy segment.

    That President who spied on and persecuted media left the office in January, 2017. The current President doesn't like some of the press corp (like the previous President as well), but has not banned any news organization, nor spied on them, not prosecuted them.

  11. Weather has been decidedly NOT perfect in California, so far this year! Not only are we getting near-record rain and snow, it's highly variable in just a single day. It's been a rough winter - at least as far as California goes (even snowed in Los Angeles).

    For 3, how many countries have the word "America" in their name? HINT: it's just one. So it's a convenient shortening of the longer term. Much like it's not Argentina, it's the Argentine Republic. It's not Mexico, it's the United Mexican States, and it's not France, it's the French Republic. It's the Federal Republic of Germany, not Germany. America is short for United States of America - and should be unambiguous as it is the only country that uses that word.

  13. Tesla says 12,500 miles or 12 months, not 25,000 miles. That puts it right along most modern ICE cars, which are typically 8,000 mile inspection/service intervals.

  14. Is that before, or after, the free 1000 mile, 7 day trial period?

    Sure, it's completely legal for Amazon to do so - however, in general we should be wary of restricting any speech or sharing of information - right or wrong. You want to ensure a virulent idea survives? Persecute it so that those who adhere to it have a cause to support.

    Would the company whose website you are visiting have the right to watch what you're doing? It would be analogous to walking into a grocery store and having the cashier watch you walk up and down the aisles, and note what products you chose - and which you did not.
