True, but I usually take the "from space" figure of speech to be visible from low earth orbit with 20/20 unassisted human vision. Yes I am aware that low earth orbit is a grey area, and not 100% entirely "outer space".

The problem isn't mismanagement. It's lack of management. Industrial oversight is not intuitive to new industrial booms, because the short term profit will always outweigh the long term unseen consequences until they come to light.

The free market doesn't have two constitutional clauses to cover it's back. The postal and interstate commerce clauses both specifically assign this job to the federal government.

I've maintained for years that China, Mexico, and similar countries going though industrial booms are simply in early stages of industrial revolution. Next we shall see environmental, wage, and health reforms, as these countries realize the need for sustainable management of their labor base.

You mistakenly believe that force of law is effective in privacy rights. http://www.dhs.gov/

If you want your car to be invisible to electronic monitoring, you must drive a car with no electronic capability. I suggest one of these http://www.legendaryfind.com/

By admitting the need for an opt-in requirement, you are implicitly agreeing with the need for an opt-out mechanism. You're arguing semantics.

To be pedantic, "Succession" would be viable as a result of impeachment. Just saying.

All good. 8-)

I hope we see good results from this publicity. Or at least discover the other half of the story. You know, the US's version of the "truth".

By posting as Anonymous Coward, and presenting such an uncooperative speculation, I'm assuming you are a spitter. Perhaps you can inform us as to which option is favorable, and when? You seam to be much more experienced at this particular form of interview.

You're assuming the "best applicant" will the one that plays by the rules, and minimally performing at that. Resume coaches universally encourage people to break the rules in creative and fun ways, from colored resume paper to resumes formatted around large pictures, to delivering said resume in a memorable way. And nothing beats the connection on the inside of the company. Becoming the "best applicant" involves going past the effort of the crowd. If that means a degree AND a mariachi band, then the person that delivers the live music gets the job.

Good point. Pulling up roots and vacating is certainly a viable option.

I didn't say which side the collateral damage would come from. A terrorist taking a wedding party hostage is just as repugnant as our government representatives bombing the whole thing to take out an important target. The point was that third parties become active parties the moment they become aware of local conflict, and that ignoring the conflict only makes them victims.

No, he didn't cause the problem. He was punished for finding and demonstrating it.

You do the same thing that you attempted to do when you went to college. You find another way to make yourself the best applicant. Hopefully with somewhat less of a time and money burden.

Riddler and Jhutson456, you both are demonstrating that a certain portion of people are inherently capable, with or without a degree. As well there are plenty of people who are worthless no matter how decorated in academics they become. For the majority in the middle, there is a valid arguments for both the value of a degree and the downsides of the debt.
