My only comment is this should be modded a "5". What is this place, Soviet Russia?

I think the drop in print media is happening for the same reason President Obama had such a great run for office. Younger people are not buying print, they get their news online. Quicker and more flexible than print. Fox News is doing well because the majority of conservatives are older and find the print media to be left biased. Same with talk radio. Plus they can keep an eye out for kids on their lawn. It's interesting that the same people who catapulted a liberal into the highest office are causing the demise of their own ancestral pulpit because they no longer think of it as worthwhile.

I'll stop at stacked blonde, thank you very much.

That's not what I saw in Terminator.

Now that's sharing I can get behind! Pun intended.

Well, they have to do something while their nailpolish dries.

- "I'm going to open up an Institute of Paranormal Studies in Texas" The money is out there. Or is it "The Truth is Out There." Have you not seen "MonsterQuest" on the History Channel? How about "UFO Hunters"? What about those "ghost hunter" shows on several channels? I'm sure I can find a couple institutions which offer degrees in paranormal studies.

The good news is that women are much more willing to put out for drinks or dinner. The bad news is that I have to rely on that.

this proves we can't trust those Europeans!

Yes. Exactly. It seems the economy is in a tight cycle. It has become reliant on its own success. However, all bubbles eventually burst. Normally they do not involve so much of the general economy (such as the dot.com bust) but housing and stock prices contribute to the majority of wealth in society's hands. The government is to scared NOT to do anything that it is only trying to continue the cycle where it left off. Good luck.

The problem with your argument is that the $4/gal price was last year and the invasion was several years ago. The price changes are due more to refinery capacity and consumer pressures on the supply at the time.

It sounds more like a problem with the use of law in dealing with patents than that actual patents themselves. Similar to filing frivilous lawsuits to stop activties someone is against. It is not the legal process but the use of it that causes problems. Also, where does this prize money come from and would it be of sufficient size to provide the drive for innovation? I admit I have little understanding of patent law so that lack may be keeping me from understanding fully these ideas.

I think if you invade a country for natural resources, the price those resources and their derivatives should go down. It was working out much nicer when we bought the resources for fair market price and turned our heads to the massacres going on in said countries. At least the world didn't need to see the deaths happening. It was blissfully unaware.

I think because it keeps wealthy people from dominating the arena. If someone creates a product or process and it is free to be duplicated by anyone, people with more capital will always be able to run those people out of business. By providing rights to production you allow those people who developed the idea to get some head start on building on their idea.

"I" could use more women. But I don't see any government agency offering awards to subsidize that area. But good for her for getting the recognition she deserves.
