I suppose that the argument can be made that they fill the same role as land mines,

There's no evidence for this, and a moment's thought will reveal that it flies in the face of common sense and historical evidence......

So why is Delta honoring the price? I think it is because of delivered product

Delta's contract of carriage states that in the event of an "erroneous" fare, " Delta reserves the right to cancel the ticket purchase and refund all amounts paid by the purchaser or, at the purchaser's option, to reissue the ticket for the correct fare." But rules set forth by the Department of Transportation state otherwise, saying that an airline must honor a purchased ticket, mistake fare or not.

Seriously?

A quick Google tells me that the oil industry has been receiving subsidies since essentially day one, by being allowed to write off the full cost of drilling new wells. Even to this day the oil industry in the US gets $4 billion per year in subsidies one way or another. =Smidge=

This. GMOs are just the next step in something we've been doing for thousands of years, just on a much smaller scale. Rather than blundering about with trial and error trying to make better plants, we finally have enough knowledge to tinker directly with their DNA to get what we want. Why is this a bad thing?

The lack of concrete action against NK might be a lesson for Iran.

If you don't want to be fucked with, actually having nukes is the best bet.

The original design was sovereign States who delegated a small, well-defined subset of their powers to a common body

That common body was structured so as to make it somewhat self-limiting, somewhat difficult to expand its reach..

It was also structured with layers of increasing responsibility that theoretically would help elevate the finest people to higher offices, even as it filtered out to a degree some of the more extremist voices.

(and probably a crypto racist)

1. Cut delivery in most areas, definitely the rural ones to every other day. M-W-F and T-Th-Sa. This will cut number of mail carriers and fuel and vehicles needed, as 1 carrier now will get two routes. Express mail has it's own carrier so that will be unaffected for the people that pay for it.

Why not build them here?

2) Offer free service to anyone who agrees to "share" their home wired internet connection by installing a special Apple router, which provides service to any i* devices in the area

Who's chairman of the board over there?
