Fixed that for you.

Maybe he came up with that conclusion because its been well understood for decades, that both the rich and the poor subsidize the middle classes higher education.

Me too. I'm well-off enough to pay more for gold-plated connectors on all my digital audio cables that sound better.

...how does your grasp on science effect the 10 commandments?

You shouldn't really worry about it, because in all likelihood the alternative for the people there is worse. Our garbage is now a jobs program overseas, even though we didnt intend it to be.

What are we going to do about it, after all? Start up a real jobs program for these people? Its not exactly our responsibility to provide jobs to people on another continent.

All the stuff about toxicity, cancer, and so on is a red herring. The alternative for them is zero income.

You keep saying that, but that doesnt make it true.

Maybe you should look in the past IPCC reports. Don't look someplace else.

Throwing $2.5 billion at "desktops, laptops, computer equipment and end-user services such as help desk and data backup" doesnt sound like underfunding IT to me.

I'm pretty sure we instigated the Japanese bombing of Pearl. For fuck sakes in the first quarter of 1941 Roosevelt moved the Pacific fleet to Pearl, began a military buildup in the Philippines, and then followed that up in July by cutting off Japans oil supply.

..then in December of that year, we were surprised that Japan attacked? No. We expected it, because we instigated it. We just didn't expect it to be Pearl. We expected it to be the Philippines.

..and to quote wikipedia, "A Gallup poll just before the attack on Pearl Harbor found that 52% of Americans expected war with Japan, 27% did not, and 21% had no opinion."

So most Americans expected war with Japan... because we were not innocent.

Don't be an ignorant fuck.

H.R. 3162 aka "THE PATRIOT ACT" passed the House in 2001 with 357 Yay votes and only 66 Nay votes. 145 of those Yay votes (40%) were Democrats. Only 15% of the House voted against it.

Then it passed the Senate 98 Yay to 1 Nay. The only Senator to vote against it was Feingold from Wisconsin.. yes, a Democrat.

Somehow I can amazingly find information on the internet such as which Representatives and Senators voted for which bills. Good thing indeed. It allows me to not exist in a state of ignorant fuckness.
