How do you spend money improving a script?
Various answers, but no easy formula exists.
How do you spend money adding 3d ?
Duh, add in pointless things that jump out at audience and call it a day. Easy,not a difficutl thing to do
So given the choice between spending money adding 3d features to any movie vs spending money to improve the script, you can see how bean counters would decide to choose the method that's countable.

Of course, you took the legal language out of his arguments which makes it seem silly now. He basically outlined a negitive of the other sides case.
In order to prove that he broke his neighbor's lawnmower the other side would have to prove all three things:
1) The lawnmower is broken now
2) The neighbor borrowed it
3) The lawnmower was not broken prior to the borrowing.
That's perfectly legit and happens all the time. Why focus on one part of an opositions case, when all three need to be proved. Don't make it easy on them!

Maybe that would be due to the confusing habit of Sci-Fi writers only writing about Science Fiction. Tom Clancy might be able to do it though

As the other poster said, If you leave it up to the states, the already biased and racist drug laws will be even more racist. You can't have a weak federal government and consistant laws through out the country. If the drug laws are up to the states, you'll get 50 different sets of drug laws. Not zero.

No you won't be sent away for a doobie, but maybe having the wrong color of skin would be enough. His newsletters published under his name were straight up white supremisist.
I'd rather have the relative equality we have today, than more theoretical freedom with less enforcement of civil right violations. Unfortunatly, our history as a nation seems to prove that we need a federal government strong enough to force states to treat everyone equally under the law.

Eh, that's up for debate. Some Evangelicals claim you can't be Catholic and Evangelical, but others are okay with it. Evangelical isn't a single denomination of christianity that have a set of formally agreed upon dogma. Its more like a style of practicing the faith, with emphisis put on certain areas.
I wouldn't say Gingrich is Evangelical, but Santorum kinda is.
