The error is that comprise does not take of, unlike compose and consist.

Yes I really think that. Now you.
I don't know if this is an option for you where you live, but here you can get a university library membership (without having to be enrolled) for ~60 euros a year, which gets you free access to an enormous amount of journals. If you can afford it and programs like that exist where you are, it's definitely something I'd recommend.
Scientists don't push fear, scientists publish articles in journals, and then argue over methodology and interpretation. Politicians push fear, and then lord their position and power over the people who they nominally serve.
You should care BECAUSE they keep you locked in a 2 party system. It matters what the public thinks because you live in a democracy, meaning you are ruled by the people, people who are morons with no idea of how the world works. The only way to improve your situation is to 1) educate the public, or 2) install a dictator with a proper understanding of science and scientific results.
That's because the general public get most (all) of their information about science from sources that have a particular goal in mind when it comes to how that information should be interpreted. First a fear is created, because fear sells, and then they offer a politics based (rather than facts based) answer, because relief also sells.
Further, people won't listen to scientists, but they will listen to news anchors and politicians, because fiction is far easier to understand than facts.
Fallout 2 or Fallout 3? This will make a very big difference in who will get angry.

Did they teach you what to call someone who drives a train during your education?
What, like, extra-lying? Doubleplusgood lying? I don't get it. There is only one way to not tell the truth.

It must suck when foreigners speak your native language better than you do.
I used Freedom with a capital F as a technical term. Actual freedom would be very good, as North Korea is one of the worst places in the world. Things like the 3-generation punishment policy, widespread famine, an insane ruler, prison camps, etc. etc. should just not exist anywhere on earth. However, my point was that the US does whatever it wants, not that NK isn't a horrible place.
Iraq didn't have WMDs, people are spirited away to Guantanamo Bay without being charged, and the NSA spies on literally the entire world without justifiable cause. The US just does what it wants, and right now it seems like it wants to inject some Freedom into North Korea.
Those are starfish aliens, and not the mechanical kind.
Please enlighten me about where you get your malware from, because it's gotta be good if it just magically came into existence, no coding required.
