I think he was being facetious. That said the reason you only have 1 provider is probably because one company was granted a local monopoly by the government. Although I suppose you could just live in the middle of no where.

This isn't a forum to go into what needs to stay and what needs to be removed, such a discussion here would be insane so we have to use generics. The Libertarian platform does not state that all regulation is bad: http://www.lp.org/platform. Not to mention you can identify with a political party and not be in 100% agreement with their platform. Clinton was definitely the best president of the last two decades and we are talking about regulation because you started posting false crap about regulations and the Libertarian party. But hey don't let the fact that I've pointed out that all your posts are based on straw men arguments from making half a dozen more in a single post.

I think our main problem here is that you believe "Less Government power" is the same as "Complete Deregulation and anarchy." Its fairly easy to make a good argument when you setup ridiculous straw men arguments in every single post.

All people are the same and every model you build has to take that into account. Neither government nor corporations are evil or good. Power is abused no matter where it is. Putting power in government is the same as power in corporations, because both are filled with normal people. We see this all the time, how many regulations have been broken and abused over the past 4 years in scandal after scandal, whether it is in housing, mining and drilling, banking.... Is more regulation going to solve this? More watchers to watch the watchers? Are we suddenly going to find honest people who are not corruptible to put in these positions? This isn't even getting into the corporations writing/lobbying for their laws, subsidies and loop holes. Just because you feel safer to think the guy in the Department of Interior is more honest and caring than a manager is some company, doesn't mean you need to spin libertarians as evil capitalist anarchists.

Actually there is nothing big money loves more than government regulations, subsidies and power. Without that they can't get free money and shut out the competitions and pass favorable laws for their business. They would shit their pants if they thought libertarians were going to start running the country. Regulations rarely mean 'consumer protection' in this day and age. Lucky for them the majority of Americans are blinded by the fact that somehow giving the government more power decreases the power of big money and that you can define libertarianism and anarchy and dismiss it entirely.

Yea same with my carrier, they provide it as a free service on their unlimited plans.

They don't have any IOUs to call in, they own bonds paying a predictable interest rate at predictable time periods. The only thing they could do would sell their debt to others and flood the market with US bonds. This would make it so that we would either not be able to get more debt (because no one is buying) or we would have to pay extremely high interest rates to create more demand. This would not be good, but if we balanced the budget we would be alright, we would not have to try and pay it all back right away.

Per this article (http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/6698137-how-abducted-reporter-kosuke-tsuneoka-used-twitter-while-in-captivity) they released him because was muslim... So his tweets had nothing to do with anything....

You left off an important part of what hearsay is... Hearsay is information gathered by one person from another concerning some event that the one person was not present for...

For anyone interested in looking at it: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-utl/1913.pdf

From my experience they evolved the desire to leave the forest and stay within the city limits where it is illegal to shoot them....

They only bought a part of the plant, Toyota also bought $50 million of Tesla stock (I have a feeling the part they bought was roughly worth $50 million, although I couldn't easily find a number ).

How do you get $4000 a year? Assuming that gas is $4/gallon (just to make the math easy) that means you drive 35,000 miles a year. Or am I missing something obvious?

Other signs of cheating: When you get a student that does A+ work on programming assignments, but fails the exam (not always the case, but usually). Another sure sign is when they turned in two or three sub par programming assignments and then turn in a beautiful program using concepts that haven't been taught yet. Also once you suspect them it is easy to verify. They can either explain the code or they can't, if they can explain it maybe they cheated, but at least they spent the time to learn what the code does, although I never saw this when I was grading work.

It would be really really hard to OD on caffeine and it is only really hard to OD on nicotine. Yes it is much more toxic, but I would say it is also true that it is just as harmless as caffeine because your ability to get to a lethal dose is difficult and not going to happen without purposefully attempting it.
