A lead foot is the least of the problem. Constant acceleration and braking uses far more fuel. You see it all the time on the interstate in stop and go traffic with people jamming on the gas to go 10 feet and slam on the break. That will use far more gas than the same trip driving a constant 30 mph over the speed limit.

Here is a good starting point for learning about historical legal homosexual marragies, http://http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-sex_marriage#Ancient.

None of your coworkers see you come in and know what time you arrived correct? Neither your computer nor the authentication server your computer uses log what time you logged in correct? You also don't fill out a time card of any type declaring when you came in and how many hours you worked?
You're argument seems to be centered around the idea that your boss has no right to know if you are actually fulfilling your obligations as an employee.

The only job I can think of you possibly having is maybe a contractor or working for small businesses? You certainly haven't worked for any sizable company with more than a couple hundred employees.
And as far as badges being Security Theater, you defiantly don't work in any kind of security related position if you can begin to convince yourself that there are no real security threats prevented by locked doors.

I'm guessing it is also a violation of your privacy for your boss to see you at your desk? Since it is the same thing has having to use a badge to get through the door and all.

I think you make a reasonable point. Really I think it would be nice if society did this as a whole. I think it would be cool if more people got involved in helping each other in general, instead of just watching someone else do something stupid speak up.

Not being on Facebook is an equally bad idea because then you can't block tags of you in pictures or do something about what others post about you. It's a mess no matter what you do.

As long as Pat Robertson was your friend on facebook you could do this. And if Pat Robertson has a facebook account, there is probably some staff auto-adding everyone who sends a friend request. Your idea sounds fun.

I agree that we need to spend less effort on protecting people from themselves in general, but one of the primary purposes of being a parent is to protect your children from themselves. There comes a point where you have to stop doing that and not all parents are good at doing that, but it is a parents job to do it for part of their children life.

Throwing a punch is harmless. Standing around is harmless. Therefore throwing a punch that hits someone who is just standing around is harmless. So beating the shit out of someone for no reason should be considered acceptable by society. I like this reasoning.

And, on average no matter how it was paid, the cost of doing it in Canada was less than half the cost of doing it in America.

Fortunately we already produce enough food so we wouldn't need to increase agriculture.

I'm not saying you are wrong, but how would we look for large collectors? How would we be able to tell the difference between a collector and a moon or planet passing in front of a star?

You should read the last sentence he wrote. That answers your question.
