Actually Karel Capek credited his brother Josef for coining the term, he just used it in his play.

It's like they installed an unlocked automatic door to the street from the vault, if you want to get the real analogy correct.

The door is not illegal, it's just the context of spaces that it allows people to travel through.

The authors of the second amendment wrote the second amendment so that We the People have an ultimate ability to be the final check and balance on the government. A government that is afraid of its people serves its people best.

Without assault weapons, we don't have that ability. Nukes are another story though. They don't have a place in any humane culture.

Overlord. He is just one person. And he's Irish and Indonesian too.

True, although I can't really imagine how gravity will have an effect anymore. If you look at the objects around you, they'll appear to follow gravity at some times and at others defy gravity.

So, how would reverse time handle gravity?

unless gravity works constantly in reverse time as well as it does in our time progression. Then you would be pulled backwards along with the earth.

"See, space and time are as intertwined a green and grass."

You haven't seen my neighbor's yard then. If that were the case, all we would need to do to time is not add water and fertilizer, add a few dandelions, and we could untwine the relationship to the point that the universes around us are valued less than ours.

Mailman does it right.

Maybe they're too busy taking pictures? That's why forums are helpful - they allow busy people to share knowledge with other busy people.

Roman empire, British empire, median empire, achaemenid empire, seleucid empire, parthian empire, sassanid empire, to name a few more. Anyone want to get into fallen Asian governments?

And only white males are responsible for driving large amounts of explosives into a federal building, and black males are responsible for taking a sniper rifle to a freeway.

I can't say that shooting up schools has a demographic, as there has been more than one example of it, so the only common thread there is that the people severely needed help that they did not get.

Please refrain from blaming the victim. This family has done _nothing_ to you, your country, the airline, or the plane, yet you are blaming them for this problem. They were a family having a discussion that I would imagine is common, especially with families that do not fly often. The stewardesses were paying attention to what they were saying more because of their appearance. The airline system overreacted from the stewardesses to the airplane captain to the ticket counter that refused to follow the FBI's discretion. The family appears to be very patient with the situation, with the exception of the two individuals that behaved inappropriately- the stewardess that profiled them, and the ticket counter that didn't follow instructions.

Only if Steve Ballmer is running it, otherwise they coexist peacefully.
