This sucks for the people let go, but there is no reason to lose out on a golden parachute if that is what you want. If offered a ton of money, how many of those people would keep working for you - and do you have a right to expect them to stay with you for less money?

Lighten up. It was clearly suppose to be funny

I'm glad I don't have to face that choice.

Does the idea of no God or afterlife bring you joy or any feelings (besides smugness?)

I've had both a wife and son die. It really brings me sadness and feels me with emptiness to think that there is no after.

I know my wishes do not effect or create a reality that does not exist, but I have faith that God is there and that there is more to our lives than what we have here.

Also, for the record, I have always had faith, this is not something new driven by a desperate hope to see the woman I love as well as my son again.

Amazing how you have made this into the GOP being slimy when the whole issue is due to the Democrat controlled IRS (during that time-period) losing all relevant emails from a large period of time. That is what is slimy here.

You used that trick on us for health care.

I guess you plan to use that tactic on each program you think that everyone should be paying for.

I'm sure you're not. I haven't looked at the article, but my guess would be Oregon. Kind of like how if it said New York, I would not assume they were talking about the city in Texas.

So you are arguing against regulatory committees and rules created in the past 30 years ago and hoping we can get back to where we were during the Reagan years? I can support that.

The rest of your post is pretty much just a personal attack with no substance but at least it lengthened you post to look like you had content to provide.

I know you really want it to, but USA-ians is not going to take off. Fetch has a better chance.

That's because there were not as many regulations then as there are now. It got to the point where instead of the government and businesses working together, it was a war. Business won it and "big business" gets a stronger foothold against small business every time the liberal anti-corp "do-gooders" create new regulation.

I think it's the opposite of how you read this.

It's an Obama / democrat thing to compare everything to the cost of the Iraq war to act like whatever they are pushing is cheap in comparison - health care being one of the loudest examples. The comparison is usually as relevant as justifying buy a phone because it's cheaper than a car.

If his goal was cash instead of owning the team. Considering he was not selling before this, I don't think it was his goal.

It's not like he was poor, living paycheck to paycheck, and now has 2 billion dollars.

Why do you think that the team is still worth what it was in 1981?

What did you think was going to happen? Did you expect the government or someone else to confiscate it? Or for no one to bid on the team?

I blame SGU for killing SF series too. Boy was that an awful show.

It would have been better to have just started a new SF universe than trying to trick fans (and then whining about those same fans) into thinking that this was going to be another Stargate like show - sure they used stargates, but that could have been substituted for any telaportation device. The biggest mistake is they started with characters that were in the same emotionally bitter and exhausted state as BSG, but without the years of buildup that BSG took to get the characters there.
