This is true, but it's still growing.

So any threat/ by the police is justifiable. That's an interesting view of the law you have there.

If you don't want to acknowledge standard measures of economic growth, it's your prerogative.

She makes a living bashing the left while winking at the same time, people feel the need to bite back.

It's clearly Obama's fault that a bunch of people projected their desire for competent leadership onto a candidate because of the obvious inadequacy of the previous administration.

Let me guess: you spend all day sitting in front of Matlab trying to make sense of the data only to be confounded by the obvious deficiencies in your grossly inadequate model. Don't get me wrong, we've all been there, but don't be jealous of the guys w/ exciting experiments (some of which do work).

I bet they would be pleased with this comment.

The thing about evolution and genetics is that there are tradeoffs. For instance, we're probably breeding cows to maximize meat production (size and muscle mass genes). This isn't free - more mass means sacrifices are made in other areas, perhaps the immune system is one area which loses effectiveness because of genetic factors related to breeding larger cows.

I like "cosmic power" a little more than "space might." +1 google.

Too bad it's the backward-facing ones that give my browser all the trouble.
