You try to get a six year old to remember a pin number or library card.
Yeah, we wouldn't want to do that. It's not like being able to remember stuff is a skill that might come in handy later in life.
Defense is quite cheap for the time being because we have the technology already developed
And that technology will become obsolete faster than a speeding bullet once you stop funding it.
Hence, private companies evolve strategies to avoid annoying their customers.
Having just flown with US Airways over the weekend, I have serious doubts about that. The DMV is an example of politeness and efficiency compared to that airline.
Russia really needs to be put at ease about nuclear attack. We simply aren't going to do it. We develop advanced weaponry, but for all intents and purposes, these weapons are just stockpiled, never to be used.
Repeat after me: HI-RO-SHI-MA. See, that wasn't so hard. And now you know.
They'll simply stop investing money in big movies if there's no chance of payback.
That is fine with me. Bring back the small movies. Where can I sign up to hasten that process?

Wow, you really have a sense of history, huh? My father has been around since 1942, I guess he's halfway on his way to being a classic according to your definition of 'a while'.
Let me try to be more explicit: what I meant was that a classic is something or someone who transcends their particular historic and cultural context, whom people from different generations and different cultures find equally relevant to their lives.
You can throw all the insults you want at me, but that will not change the fact that the top two results for "Betty Smith" are this and this. Neither of those pages is longer than your average omelette recipe. That is a staggering lack of interest in a "classic" author.
No amount of careful planning will ever replace dumb luck.
