Yep, that's the only option. There's nothing between doing nothing and that option. It's all we have. And if anyone starts to talk about mitigation strategies, planning ahead of time or devoting a single cent of taxpayer money toward preparing for it, we are just all going to have a meltdown and throw a tantrum with teabags on our hats. Thank god we have these strawman arguments for what these ivory tower Oxford elitists are telling us to do: eliminate the human race to protect the human race. I cannot believe they would actually come to that conclusion but there it is, right in the article. Those environmentalists will have us starving in mud huts by the end of the month if we just sit by and let this academic report go unabated and without criticism!

*tortured sigh*

Because private schools are PRIVATE. You don't have to send your kids there.

No, I had absolutely no idea!

If the elementary school system is biased against girls in the sciences, it's pretty ironic because near 100% of the teachers in those grades are female. By the way, why is no one concerned about the gender bias in elementary educators?

Were you 18? If my parents didn't stand up for me-- and mind you, they always did-- I would have pursued legal means. I know that's a daunting task for a teenager, but some lawyer somewhere would have enjoyed some pro bono publicity.

Change doesn't happen overnight, since in general established companies don't hire women fresh out of college as CEOs. The average age of a CEO is in the 50s. The policies of the 1980s and 1990s are producing today's CEOs.

If Kim Jong-Un starts a war with the only world superpower and their allies over unarmed, unmanned aircraft launched by civilian hobbyists, he'll get what he deserves.

It's too bad the Allies released those photos of the concentration camps. They were literally working for the Nazis and their SS arm.

Some of their speakers were surprisingly good. I had two bookshelf speakers that had PLASTIC boxes, and they sounded great. They were left behind by one of my dad's tenants. They even had low enough sensitivity to work with the Pro Audio Spectrum card on my 486, which couldn't have had more than 2W of power (sound cards often had amplified outputs on them in the 90s). TIE Fighter sounded killer on those...

That's why I liked my VIC. Only 3.5K available, but I used to be able to really cram programs that supposedly needed 5K by removing the REMs and using the command tokens (first letter, then second letter shifted).

Do you go to work out of the goodness of your heart? Most of us don't. Most of us worry about, at least, food, clothing, and shelter.

Problem was, a neighborhood developed around the road. People complained, and sued the DOT, because they knew their 70-year-old houses existed before the road. The DOT pulled photos from the archives, engineers ($$$) went to court to show the houses were not only built after the road was there and paved, but that was why the houses were build (a road was there). That's the kind of crap that happens EVERY time you need to do a major build or upgrade.

I'm really surprised that the debate over whether the road was improved before the houses were built even entered into it. In the northeast, governments usually just take the property unless there is an historical or environmental issue. Consider yourself lucky if they give you market value for the property.

And NOT use the DOT to Force policies on states ///Federal Highway Funds are not provided to states that don't follow DUI laws, FYI.

One of the worst, most un-conservative policies pushed by Reagan (the others being signing off on amnesty for illegal immigrants for nothing in return, and signing off on banning full-auto weapons made after 1986).

We don't have the time-- your 5 mil commute would take 100 minutes. Some people already commute that long-- and that's ridiculous-- but it brings me to the second reason, and that is that where we live determines where we work, not vice versa. Most of us don't move every time we get a new job just so we're within walking distance. Considering how tenuous everyone's employment really is, this is not a stupid strategy.

So parents can't treat their kids like "property", but the government can?

Not vaccinating your kids is stupid. But forcing people to do it to send their kids to public school, then forcing them to attend said public school unless they're rich enough to pay for a private school, is class warfare. I hope these states have charter schools and/or a voucher program.
