Comment Education? (Score 2) 339

Is it the lack of education that keeps the poor taking from each other rather than taking from the rich? I'm sure mine is not the only city that has "Boardwalk" located close enough to "Baltic" that the poor without much effort could take what they want from the rich. Yet still, the poor continue to rob from the poor.

Comment Free Markets (Score 1) 255

It is free markets that keeps the US so highly rated among the developed nations in providing internet service to its citizens and, as everyone knows, the US is all about providing infrastructure that encourages competition. Imagine, if you will, how bad it would be if a single corporation were allowed to control access to all the roads in a nation! That corporation could dictate rates and refuse service to any and all who refuse to meet their price. Thankfully the majority in the US have come to the understanding that such travesties must be regulated against.

Those are the costs of "connected" healthcare. Humans are a hateful venfeful bunch and maybe those qualities served them well in the past by ridding themselves of the ill suited for humanhood, but today the homogenity these qualities aspire to will also lead to mankinds demise. Diversity is the key to survival, not "sameness".

Can you prove a negative? How would you go about proving that Gods/God does not exist? Even if you can account for everything that has been attributed to sky faeries over the centuries you still can't prove that those sky faeries just didn't sit back and observe it all.

Comment It's amazing to me! (Score 4, Insightful) 234

I keep my house at 62F during the winter, and it never ceases to amaze me when my guests demand the heat be turned up. It's as if they don't understand that there are real costs involved when warming a space up. Besides, those who are cold can add any number of layers of clothing, those who are too warm can only strip so far.
