That's a choice I'd like to make for myself, and not one made for me, thank you very much.

You support monopolies on violence and I do not. I'd like competition on price for whoever would be needed to defend me, and not have to pay twice (or more times) for the same level of service.

This is the downfall of these current generation of digital currencies, they aren't anonymous and untraceable enough yet.

Sadly, Glenn Fleishman suggests to resort to the use of violence (recourse in a court system, based on government theft and coercion) in order to seek a "remedy" to these problems, whereas many would rather see people be more careful with their transactions and keeping the government out of them (wherever possible).

If you're posting often on social media, you're probably not doing much in the way of anything called work.

Walmart left Germany because it was a bad place to do business for Walmart .

Capisce?

Your characterization is wrong. Walmart left Germany because it was a bad place to do business.

How about we ask Keith to ask of his people to quit, and tender his resignation voluntarily? No questions asked.

There, solved that for ya. It would be really easy to lower taxpayer liability by just putting organizations like his on the chopping block, and ending all overseas adventures. Please don't patronize us with your idealistic beliefs in safety -- one could only imagine what D.C. would be like with a Kiev-style protest.

We're asking you nicely now -- and putting it into public discourse. The next time time, I don't know how nicely people will ask. I think it might get ugly.

Fish, or it didn't happen!

couldn't they have done the same for Anwar al-Awlaki, another US citizen?

Equal justice under the law is a fallacy. Kinda makes you wonder if the tin foil hat people are right...

There, FTFY.

Statist socialist types trying to sponge off hard working capitalists via government strong arming with prison and fines.

There, FTFY.

It's the blind faith in speculation of things that may happen that just disturb me, and probably should disturb any logical thinking person.

Just like the guy above in Alaska citing anecdotal evidence that the presence of earthworms in mum's garden and the forest line increasing, no one can definitively prove that a localized warming cycle is part of a part of a multi-millennial trend. Since there have only been accurate thermometers measuring data for a couple hundred years, one could easily conclude there is too small of a sample of temperature data being presented. At best, climate change illustrates a trend of a small sample space, and it worst it represents a political bold-faced lie.

Sorry, but the unprovable mays that you present are equally as likely as donkeys flying out of my ass.

Tend to blame the victims. Most modern processed foods are full of inflammatory poisons (HFCS, artificial sweeteners, hydrogenated oils)

Paleo and Atkins work for some, not for others. Blaming people for being fat is like blaming people for being poor and uneducated.
Additionally, fast foods today aren't as healthy as they were years before (HFCS, hydrogenated oils, soy, fillers, artificial colorings, and other carcinogenic preserves using benzenes,) no longer using animal fats, and quality foods aren't subsidized while healthcare is. Juice feasting and lots of water works for many , Paleo and Atkins works for some, but have a crouton and you blow up like a blimp from the "carb starving".

The societal equation is wrong. Food is medicine, when used properly.

People who are struggling with this should at least consider the documentaries : "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" and "Forks over Knives" and watch the tons of videos on YouTube that show people transforming their lives and regaining control.

People wouldn't be sick as often, exposing healthy people to the germs of their coworker's rugrats.

It's been 20 years and employers still want most IT and dev people on-site and with their thumb on the back of their necks.
