This.
As long as the isps to my home are monopolies I don't want them engaging in "value added" services.

Take a look at Comcast and cable TV.

They have 100%+ markup on the service.
Then they charge the channels to be on the lineup, which you cant avoid.
Then they pop their commercials into the programming, usually poorly.

These people have already demonstrated they are unfit to be trusted with a monopoly. Absolutely no reason to let them monopolize.

hydrogen cyanide (HCN): occurs everywhere (not the least of which is your cars tailpipe), all you need is the elements and hea
methyl cyanide (CH3CN), once again occurs everywhere, all you need are the elements plus oxygen helps
cyanoacetylene (HC3N) Not familiar with this but be willing to bet you can get it by just applying heat again.

Here you should hit this it might help

But also to be helpful because I am all to aware of the giant blindspots people can have on this

Bush Jr to the right of Reagan
Bush: Medicare Part D , No Child Left Behind ,TARP
  If your reasoning is the conduct of the war on terror, You would have to conclude Obama is to the right of Reagan.

Oh BTW out of curiosity, If you were one of those people that reflexively shouted "Worst President Ever" how do you react to Obama's name at this point ? Seeing as he has managed to expand on every failure of the Bush administration,do more harm to the economy, and our foreign affairs status ?

Nixon to the right of Eike ?
Lets see Nixon took us off the gold standard, tried to implement wage and price controls, created the EPA.

Eisenhower, Balanced budget twice Kept government growth small.

So your trend is Eisenhower right of Nixon, Reagan is to the right of Nixon, and both Bushes

So I'll say to you what I said to the other poster. You should have a chat with whoever is doing your thinking for you.

That's not being serious. Hubbert's peak theory wasn't formulated until 1956

Sure it is. The running out of oil scare goes all the way back to the teapot dome scandal. Back then your unconventional oil would have been offshore reserves. You pick a time Ill give you new sources that somehow failed to make their way into the calculation.
