You might have to hold a gun to their heads to collect.
Are you picking nits because it's not an actual analogy? It's still germane to the discussion as Ford's opinion appears to be that the people didn't really know what was good for them until it was presented by the experts/innovators. Uninformed opinion being basically useless.
Except that the communist experiment has been attempted and shown to fail in several venues. Apples and oranges...it's not the same thing.
Neglected? The Macs that I owned went from 68000 to 68020, 68030, 68040, and then to PowerPC. Motorola continued the 68k line with

but, this was eventually dropped in favor of the PPC line.
It's actually 'Breeches' and now we finally know Step 2.
Years ago, when static electricity was bad news for computers, I had the idea for a "data processing shoe" that would have a little conductive ribbon that would drag along the floor and ground out static electricity. Such a thing is of course no longer needed, but given the apparent popularity of data breeches these days maybe the concept could be resurrected as a fashion statement.
You are a citizen who cares more about your children's survival than the survival of Freedom and the well being of millions. In other words you aren't merely part of the problem, you are the problem.
You could happily sit in the company of many of history's great men. The too were willing to sacrifice countless lives for some lofty goal.
Is there any benefit too small, in your mind, for my kids to die supporting it?
It's worth noting that most revolutions happen when the only way remaining to provide for and protect one's children is to take up arms or man the barricades.
... And most of them are won by the side most able to protect its children.
...and a negative one at that.
Could it ever possibly be that these scientists who "dominate" the scientific publishing are actually worthy of such a thing?
Indeed. And besides, compared to the star system in Hollywood, for example, this is downright democratic.
The intellectual penury that comes with serving with a leader in a given field seems to be gladly endured by most young researchers. This story ignores the fact that, although the senior researcher's name may be at the top of the paper, the junior researcher's name is right there below it.
It's a bit like an actor accepting a lesser credit in order to appear in a bigger film.
I dunno. Has Obama come out in favor of it yet?
No, no no. They got waxed.
How about instead of trying to spin it one way or the other, try publishing the facts. No real news entity should be spinning stories, but they obviously do in order to pull in a larger audience, or deliver their agenda (Fox, MSN).
I'm really tired of these crappy stories that I see on local news meant to scare folks, or pull at their heartstrings. They really misguide peoples perceptions of reality.
What people fail to look at during the campaigns is what circles does this guy run in?...who is he going to put in his Cabinet? It's not about electing the figurehead, it's all about who's going to be pushing the agendas.
FWIW, I agree with you on Carter, Bush, and Obama, all incompetent...I'll give Carter the title of nicest guy though.
You've either not seen the polls, or don't believe them, and are quite simply incorrect.
Sounds like you are misinformed and ignorant. And, FWIW, I'm and American, of German heritage.
Funny, I heard this bullshit when I was stationed there ('79-'81 Air Force), and from my landlord's son, to which I responded..."If we're occupying, why am I paying rent to your father?". It's not an occupation anymore when you can be asked/forced to leave, and that was the case even back then.
