National Cable & Telecommunications Association v. Brand X Internet Services happened.

...by democracy really doesn't work too well either.

Its the best we have, but it doesn't work, more so in a polarized society.

2. depends on how competently the pipeline is operated. And the likely answer to that is "not very".

Transcanada does not exactly have a stellar record. Their Keystone phase 1 pipeline sprung 14 leaks in its first two years of operation. Across their network, they average better than 70 spills per year.

And their Bison natural gas pipeline blew the fuck up after just 6 months of operation.

I wouldn't trust these guys to operate a garden hose, much less a pipeline carrying dibit over a major aquifer.

Assuming they follow their own law (Bill C-16, An Act to Amend the Canada Elections Act, passed in 2007), the next election is on October 19, 2015, the third Monday in October, 4 years after the last election.

Constitutionally, the latest an election could occur is in early July of 2016, as Parliament would have be dissolved by May 23rd.

Fairly sure that's the usual for Canada also. It was when I was in elementary school.

1. No, it is not controversial. It's nonsense that is rightly rejected. 30 vaccines is a drop in the ocean compared to the onslaught of viruses and bacteria they got exposed to on their way out of the womb, much less what they deal with every day.

2. And most people your age can enjoy having shingles later in life because of that. It really sucks, hence the desire for children to never get chickenpox.

Resources have a way of not having boundaries, radio waves, land, water... and internet.

We have already put man made boundaries on other resources, so why not internet. It is just inevitable. The sad bit is that internet is not like land or water, there is abundance of it, unfortunately we just don't know how to handle abundance.

Or they don't have a gas cap at all.

You forgot step 1.5) Engage in "parallel construction" to conceal the warrantless communications monitoring.

As opposed to Harper who's been running up the debt (and was doing so before the economy fucked up) and is now taking an axe to everything useful in government and selling off crown assets to "balance" the budget.
