Sometimes a motto means exactly what it says.

I agree. "Progressivism" is just soft Marxism as opposed to an Orthodox Marxism.

Saying "forward" as "progress" like "My tractor makes forward progress" is I doubt what MSNBC intends. Let me rephrase that for you. When you say that the content of MSNBC is gently looking to the future, I say you are flat out full of crap.

MSNBC is as backward looking as they come--how else could they rewrite historical events to suit their purpose without looking backwards? My recent favorite is when MSNBC lauds the "Great Leap Forward" in a commercial referencing China's economic policy. Why would MSNBC call that a positive/great event? How did that turn out? Millions of Chinese dead. No Glenn Beck conspiracy required.

The "Forward" motto is also meaningful to Marxist political terminology. I would doubt people as smart as MSNBC keeps telling people they are would chose the word without historical understanding.

there's a second amendment.

You mean like Starfish Prime?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starfish_Prime

"Starfish Prime caused an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) which was far larger than expected, so much larger that it drove much of the instrumentation off scale, causing great difficulty in getting accurate measurements. The Starfish Prime electromagnetic pulse also made those effects known to the public by causing electrical damage in Hawaii, about 1,445 kilometres (898 mi) away from the detonation point, knocking out about 300 streetlights, setting off numerous burglar alarms and damaging a telephone company microwave link. The EMP damage to the microwave link shut down telephone calls from Kauai to the other Hawaiian islands.[5]"

Hoarding the money in tax havens and other such things essentially makes it useless to the economy.

Right. Because an investor putting money in a haven keeps it in cash.

What actually happens is that money is put into investment baskets which goes to buying debt in enterprise. That enterprise probably employs you.

It just siphons money away from where it does any good for me. Fuck the rich. .

Just making your point more clear

I would gladly let the government keep everything I've ever paid into Social Security to date, without taking any benefits from it, ever, if they would let me opt out from this day forth.

I think you have the first plank of a third party platform.

Double fucking bullshit.

US GDP is $15T give or take. UNFUNDED LIABILITY is currently $100T give or take and about to increase.

The problem is not how to collect an additional $5T is taxes. It's how to STOP THE FUCKING SPENDING.

In American we do not quarantine all dangerous infectious disease carriers

We do report them to the government (it's a regulation) and in some cases a health department or CDC will investigate sources of further ill people. So while they may not be locked up physically, they may get locked up socially.

Does pressing up up down down left right left right B A start give any additional protection?

Oh. That's the Nintendo tank. Nevermind.

You've never been to Huntsville.

Not quite. The reason for the Canon was to limit the number of unapproved translations, not to limit to books.

Heresy was occurring because people did not have accurate books (accurate from the POV of the Church) or approved translations.

I believe you put up a challenge to find a reference to God in the text. I won.

Don't cry about it.

You mean when they mention the date?
"the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven."

That was easy.

Liquid Helium sell for $8.00/L on the wholesale quantity market.
It is still very, very cheap.

Last fill on my MRI machine was 800L due to cold head failure. Lucky me I have a service policy, but still, that's a big use of Helium. I would not worry about your Helium balloon.
