For 100K, he could insulate the houses of a small neighborhood, doing more than what his Tesla would (because as greenies point out, you must include manufacture). He would also have greater cred as a goodwill ambassador for green. He could not, however, pull his cred up to the club at night and have everyone watch the valet drive the it off.

Was there a reason you omitted nuclear?

What is the "less expensive" way to store & protect your anthrax, or other dangerous pathogen that you'd like to muck with?

You should have picked a better example. Remember just a while ago where a very well funded organization (CDC) with everything you mentioned misplaced some damned smallpox in a friggin' cardboard box?

Because you consume more space and fuel.

Having a trigger to fire your weapon conveys permission to use said button.

Utter bullshit analogy. As is all games-based reasoning.

Or the Democrats will sic the IRS on you and demand the information.

Are you suggesting that said *pacemaker* is storing location information without any method to nondestructively access it? If so, I call bullshit. If not, the cops need only use the same interface to extract the information without killing you.

Excellent sir, although you still haven't beaten Jonathan Coe.

And there we have the Scotsman camouflage. Many of those original and "true" feminists do exactly the same thing as your "masked" ones.

Most the gamers I know are not teenage boys, but grown men and women. I do believe you're pulling that "you know, the ones that actually buy big game titles" out of thin air.

"Written word can be force, too." You mean like people who exaggerate things in their blogs to slander you?
