I propose that YOU go to Somalia where you will find that it is a once-prosperous country held in economic slavery by a very few who hoarded all the wealth.

Nobody is denying the right of a capitalist to earn wealth. The denial is for them to harm the rest of society in the process.

ah yes, that is possible. But cell companies will try to squeeze every last drop from their infrastructure so it will be many years before they go away.

Not quite sure what your point is. Mine is that airport radar is critical safety equipment that I don't want compromised so some teen can stream One Direction in HD.

seriously...

you're a djerk.

It's a play on "Borked" (hint "Robert Bork" - Google it) and the native country of the artist Bjork.

nice...

Somebody had to say it.

We had 8 of them in my Jr. High math class. Not content playing Oregon Trail, I started learning BASIC and transferred over to my dad's IBM PC. That was my beginning of a wonderful career in IT.

The imbecile who started the Birther movement is a lawyer too. I know quite a few excellent lawyers and a few who must have gotten their J.D. from a box of CrackerJack.

Good point (even with the Patton reference). However, I think there are other, current, weapons systems that can do the job of the F22 for much cheaper. Also, in this era of deficit and debt, it makes sense to trim back the Defense budget which is still largely based on fighting an enemy which ceased to exist 20 years ago.

You can contact me directly from the link in my signature if you ever want to talk about anything ALS. I am 7 years in and us "old timers" have a duty to help the newly diagnosed.

The ALS Residence Initiative already built a paradigm-shift in skilled nursing care in Chelsea, MA. The Residence was built as part of the Leonard Florence Center for Living as a place for ALS/MS patients with severe disability to live with maximum independence and with the highest quality nursing care available.

The Residence was designed by my friend Steve Saling with his own long-term care requirements in mind. The building is stuffed with automation equipment from PEAC which enables people, who can only use their eyes to control a computer, to open doors, operate lights, call an elevator, or summon assistance (among other operations). The Residence is the first of its kind, and the ALSRI is committed to building these across the USA. The second facility is to be built near Atlanta, GA.

Nope. The OP has historical record and odds of repetition to immediately support his statement.
