No you don't need to allow all ever. I allow all for my school's domain, and nothing else. Those social media buttons don't even show up for me on most pages 'cause they use a third-party javascript loader. On the very rare occasion that I can't get a site to work, I switch to private mode (ctrl-shift-p) and allow all there. I like to use half-broken websites. I break the half that tracks me / loads cpu-intensive flash ads / makes the page take 10 seconds to load. If they still manage to annoy me, up comes firebug and *whoops*! There go the page elements I didn't like. Grayed-out content? I think not!

Aspirin is actually used as the generic name in the US (and Canada?) from what I understand. It's certainly easier to read and remember, but doesn't say anything about the structure of the molecule.

Neither does acetylsalicylic acid. The IUPAC name is needed for that, which is 2-acetoxybenzoic acid.

In a purely capitalist system, the rich get richer while the poor get poorer. That's a Reagan 'taking from the poor to give to the rich'. You can even argue (quite successfully) that it's on the whole better than the alternative of stealing hard-earned money from businesspeople preventing them from making jobs. HOWEVER that doesn't change the fact that the rich steal en masse from the poor at every opportunity.

Good for you! Tell that to all of the retail, restaurant, transportation, mining, manufacturing, etc., workers that you depend on for your every day-to-day need. Those people's labor is commoditized, and companies will pay the bare minimum that they can conceivably get away with -- any individual who attempts to bargain is passed over for the next applicant, and there's always somebody with harder luck who's more desperate for the job. Companies in these businesses will pay the minimum and provide the minimum level of benefits that the law will allow, unless their workers organize.
