You're talking about a nation that went to war with itself - killing millions of people - so that it could try and keep the institution of SLAVERY.

In the face of that, how is brinksmanship over paying the bills in any way surprising?

It's like watching Linux morph into Windows 8

Uhhh, Dude - the reason why they are called “alpha" males is because *they are in charge*.

All that "relationship building" stuff *works*. It's like you are sneering at *gravity*.

Eternal September wasn't an event; it's a process.

DG

Kid, he's right; you're wrong. Move on already.

DG

Non sequitur.

I could counter with the number of packets being transmitted across the entire network in a similar timeframe, or with the total number of electrons in use - but like your bone fragment example - those would be worthless metrics of complexity.
