And how!
Clearly you haven't spent much time in American airports.
We Americans see the British as our cultural brethren, owing to the long intertwined history of our two nations. As England goes, so too shall America go. Thus we mourn for the Brits' loss of the freedoms that inspired our own. So too do we fear that our own regime may follow the UK down the path to open tyranny.
I'm offended by people who are easily offended.
I'm not sure why The Hobbit is so bad. One was OK, Two was more meh. It was like all the heart, soul, and magic of LOTR vanished in a poof of smoke for The Hobbit. I mean, come on, one of -the- best parts in one was the dwarves singing "Misty Mountains" and the song is not even 2 minutes long! It is like they don't have any faith in their ability to please the non-ADD crowd

The US on the other hand is a large healthy democracy
For certain values of "healthy" that include "largely dysfunctional".
The most useful stuff I've ever read on economics was the old-school stuff: on the business cycle, not just boom-bust but which sectors recover in which order - what leads recovery, and what's big when the end of the boom is near, and what survives best during the bust.
Any book recommendations?
If you don't see a point in having 7 children, don't have 7 children.
So exercise your rights as a consumer to research beforehand and not buy it. Or return it. Or modify it, as you have
That's what he did. He exercised his right to modify it, and he exercised his right to tell people what he did.
My guess is they mean more sending your kid to sit in their room and supposedly think deep thoughts on whatever they did that led to being stuck in their room and how to act better next time.
Yeah, that never accomplished much for me. And I still had to learn to relax in the face of frustration when I was grown. If I had simply learned that before adulthood, I probably would have had 80% of what I needed to get by productively and healthily.
I've noticed several design suggestions in your code.
