Of all the problems, that's the one you attach to? This is an ex post facto law (the debt was "clear" in 2010, and owed in 2014 due to change of law). It's seizing without due process, and it's an illegal bill of attainder. Though I'm sure it's a new class of "seizure" that doesn't need to follow any of the legal protections in the Constitution. Like being pulled over for speeding is both an arrest and not an arrest at the same time so they can pick and choose rights and powers that apply.

I do that now. It's called a motorcycle. Just live some place where lane splitting is legal.

There are drivable helicopters. Though I would think of http://moller.com/dev/index.ph... as what people think of, a car that would blend into traffic that can fly, or the other Mollers that are less car looking.

More like a large manned quadcopter. They are stable, and with some computer control, easily flyable.

They already do. You just must build it yourself as a kit. There are videos out there of driving helicopter with stowable rotors and other such "flying cars" that are 100% legal. Now, making it legal to sell as a full aircraft is something different. and 3.1 million dollars wouldn't get them past some introductory flights.

From the statistics I've seen, that's not true. A dead person where sexual preference couldn't have played a role is counted as a "heterosexual" death. That doesn't count equally. So I don't believe your assertion.

No, they aren't. Next you'll tell me that there has never been a suicide by car. Note, the federal government doesn't like suicide, so it's not a option on the reporting forms, so a person who decides to commit suicide by getting drunk, leaving a note, and driving into a wall or off a bridge is listed as "alcohol related" and "speed related" artificially inflating those numbers, and *never* listed in FARS as a suicide. Just like the heterosexual numbers include gays roughly equal to their concentration in the general public, and a separate count is kept when gays are killed in hate crimes. This makes gays dead much more often than heterosexuals, but with statistics people can use to prove the opposite point.

And no, I won't take your word for it. If you want to prove your point, prove it with something more than factless assertions.

OZ and NZ are also having more cloud cover than usual. Though we miss some of the start, but not the totality.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G... The middle east has expanded. It means "Islamic world" now. Though apparently "Islamic world - except Indonesia" would be more accurate.

Isn't that Alaska Time?

What about people who live in Alaska? Though, since just about everything is coast, they do mainly say "west" without reference to "coast" to mean the west coast of Alaska. There's more coast facing west in Alaska than the entire "west coast" (of the USA from WA to CA - inclusive).

What do people in Orlando refer to it as? I've lived on a west coast in the US, and it wasn't PDT.

Shooting into a crowd at a mall and hitting a gay person will not be labeled a hate crime or under violence against gays, so using those statistics to show stright people are more likely to die is a non sequitur. That's not what the statistics measure. Not every crime against a gay person is measured as a hate crime, and thus, they can't be used to prove the number of crimes against gay people, as you assert.

Someone else posted that for a 100 mile shot, it would exit the atmosphere (and thus have to re-enter anyway). So I expect it would be able to handle a re-entry.

Yea, but they don't have the range to hit my secret base on the moon. The trick is how to build the gun on the dark side of the moon so that it can hit the Earth. That way the Earth couldn't see it and certainly couldn't shoot back with lasers or such.

Maybe it was regional, but there was definately anti-PC sentiment where I was. Much like "your baby an read' is mocked more recently. A yuppy way of over-indulging your children.

Sure, grab that and run. You aren't going to run fast carrying that thing by the handle. Maybe if you got the optional (or 3rd party) backpack adapter. But that wasn't much better. The kids at school made fun of me when I carried it, but that's because it weighed as much as I did.

That they understand 100%, but wish they didn't? That's a silly complaint.
