Apparently they think it's ok to put your fingers in, so long as you pay.

Does it say when we can start looting?

Yes! At Tunguska, even before they existed!

I wasn't particularly worried about a 2880pocalypse to begin with.

Focusing on gun crimes is the tactic that gun control advocates use.

The problem is that victims don't care if they are stabbed to death or shot to death.

The correct metric is _total_ crimes of bodily threat or assault. Good guys use legally carried weapons to deal with bad guys irrespective of what the bad guys did or didn't bring.

So, don't focus on gun deaths (which, btw, also counts suicides.. which is also totally disingenuous)

Focus on murders. How does Illinois compare to say, North Dakota, in murders?

I'll stay in rural North Dakota, thanks.

What chemicals spilled, other than all the radioactive water?

And since when have people not been interested in the effects of chemical spills, genetic or otherwise?

Bah, you're making the radical assumption that scientists have a clue about the things they study.

Yes, if there's a reactor meltdown in your neighborhood you should stay put and ignore the panic mongers. A little radiation never did anything.

No, my life would have been changed (i.e., ended in the cosmic collapse) if I *had* hit him.

The speed of light is a limit on how fast you can accelerate something *in* space, but it's not a limit on how fast space can expand.

In fact you can't even state the rate of expansion of space as a velocity, because the velocity apparent as the speed of recession depends on how far away you're looking.

That's not rigorous enough for physics, but I do believe it meets the standards for good economics.

At least that much of your theory is correct.

[clears throat] "the stray cat I almost ran over yesterday is the fundamental reason for why the universe didn't become a black hole in the early stages after the Big Bang."

There's a difference between 'a vacuum' and 'nothing'.

Godzilla is now based on science!
