I always found it ironic for libertarians that are government employees that say the government is spending to much money; then I get uncomfortable when agree with them.

Maybe Solar Heat?

If an Educator, or Administrator caught you with a knife, you were gone. As for the Bullies, I selected game trails they weren't currently hunting at. The "Out of sight, out of mind" solution had more success for me; and I learned a couple of things in the process that is High School.

The stuff you mentioned is VERY long term. But it sounds like you don't own stock; maybe some simple reasearch could guide you? What is the diffence between an Investor, and a Stock Trader? Hint: "use 'time' in your response."

"...carbon nanotubes. But no one has manufactured a perfectly formed carbon nanotube strand longer than a meter..."

Maybe some of those third world geniouses with toddler social skills should turn inward and ask, "why is only one meter their best effort?" I sure hate to see them return home with their H1B's "tucked under."

I believe you are describing the current post authoritarian decade that finds its declining numbers of leaders faced with the issue of self survival. The easiest way for them to do this is to point a finger at the weakest person they can quickly identify; then say that person is the problem to be solved.

Well, at least it will slow down the other Adam Henrey's with their personal, "needs." Where can I download a copy, today's a good day to start again.

As a parent myself, I can say my children are more understanding than I am. I'm very proud of that. I tell my children, "If you have a problem, own it; in front of everyone." It's the only parenting that they seem to consider. I hope you have more luck.

But I think an image of the guy the parent ariticle is about would be better than showing a child with challenged DNA.

Comrad modarater, why so serious?

That's what the Tea Party says, but like Premier khrushchev stated, "don't judge me by my words, judge me by my actions." I haven't seen any news reports that the Tea Party(TP) is in any community helping the needy. I see the TP cost savings actions, costing tax payers billions; and this statement is on public record, ouch.

I don't know who modded you down, but they may have more to lose than you or I; since H!B visas' have been so thinned out as to be useless from their original intent. A multi billion dollar business that has to use H1Bs' is maintaining a fruad.

It would appear that Tea Party Politics are a form of infectious disease, and it's spreading to Russia. Does anyone have the time to tell Capt.PutPut that the USSR, and the Space Race are over?

"quantum fluctuations?"

Ok, when will someone see Jesus, and or Mary on some random arrangement of rocks on Mars?
