Next year is the centennial of WWI. What's a Nobel Peace Prize winner to do?

You're after something existentially unattainable, even by Biblical standards, until the Second Coming.

Apparently you missed the target of the snark in this thread.

What sane budget do we have? We've been putzing along on Continuing Resolutions for years.
But you don't have any real opposition from me on a total review of our jacked up foreign policy.
Given that neither isolation nor Team America: World Police are sustainable, what do you realistically prescribe?

I've got neither.

But that's an idealized notion. Reality is going to force some compromise on style. What we have to do is keep the substance clean.

You have something against adjectival nouns? Try to go an entire day without using any, and let us know how that works out for you.

However, for reasons of style and clarity, I'd prefer to see "women as programmers", myself, since there exist females of many other species than H. sapiens sapiens.

Oh, I'll probably be taken by the plague readily. Those wretched capitalists are predicting a bitter winter => http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57600023/farmers-almanac-predicts-a-bitterly-cold-winter/

What is this "adequate safety net", in the face of the debt tsunami that will engulf us all, then?

When we're huddled around the fire, burning tires for warmth (I'll never forget the reek of a January morning in Kabul) let's just keep the blame on Walmart.
That way, none of the analysis ventures in the direction of the culprit: government.
No one's forcing you to shop/work at Walmart.
The amount of crap that legislation is forcing you to do grows hourly.
Sweet, sweet Progress!

*Yawn*
Does it really boil down to a contest of wills, then? If so, I can only tell you that you are the BEST!

I think it's worse than that: this is a deliberate, diabolical intellectual wrecking ball.

Are you serious? What "conspiratorial theory" have I implied by asking the question:
given a market, and players purportedly in that market, why are the players not playing?
I've offered specific examples (Gibson), metaphor (hydrocarbons) and yet you're interested in turning the question back on me.
As it happens, I've long since determined that you're just a troll, given to compulsive mind-fracking, so it's no biggy.
I'll just laugh at you, and accept your silliness as an admission of impotence.

One of the Lieutenants gets promoted to HMFIC.

So, you're saying it's not curious that, given a proven reserve of market oil, Hollywood is not trying to drill it? You're kinda funny when you put on your incurious hat.
