The problem with Socialism is Socialism.
The problem with Communism is Communism.
The problem with Capitalism is Capitalists.

ie - in every system you will have people who game the system to their own ends. Its just in communism and socialism, those who are not in a position to game the system will always be next to serfs while under capitalism, they still have a chance to succeed.

But...Ethanol cannot be transported over pipelines like gas can. It needs to be moved via tanker trucks and those trucks use a heavy amount of diesel fuel.

The Crusades.....you mean a defensive war waged against muslims by christians? Palastine was settled by christians and muslims came and took it over (ie, the muslims invaded).

I work for a large corp whose own screw ups with lost un-encrypted PC has been duly noted here on Slashdot. It is corporate policy to encrypt every hard drive that is not locked up. With Win7 and bitlocker its simple to get encryption for 80%+ of normal users.

Franchise laws were needed 75+ years ago, but they are a archaic relic in today's world.

Remember...

The problem with Socialism is Socialism. The problem with Capitalism is Capitalists. ie - in any system you will always have people gaming the system.

How about some more facts (look 'em up).
When Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi took over congress, the deficit went from $500b to over $1T.
The 1.8 trillion deficit for Bush's last year was a budget signed by Obama and included such wise spending as the stimulus.
Obama said if we pass the stimulus unemployment would be under 6%. Unemployment is higher now then even the non-stimulus projections. And the reason why its only 7.9% is we have several million people who left the work force.
Under Obama, we have 50m+ people on food stamps.
Under Obama, we have more people going on disability (they don't count as unemployed btw) then getting a job.
Under Obama, we haven't had a federal budget in over 3 1/2 years; and according to you, that was technically Bush's spending.

Instead of parroting the usual liberal talking points, how about you start thinking for yourself.

Most of Heinlein's work, although my personal favorite is Job:A Comedy of Justice (I'd swear the South Park guys got their idea of Heaven and Hell from their).

I'd add in Atlas Shrugged also, I didnt read until I was 35+.

You mean Richard Armitage?

Manning is a traitor who should be dealt as one.

Assange though, just a thorn in the side of the US.

Maybe so....but if I work a night shift and therefore sleep during the day, I better have electricity at night/early morning. If its available 18 hours a day....that ain't happening.

If problem solving is the goal, then your better served by a Logic/Critical Thinking class then Algebra.

My Samsung Galaxy S2 running 2.3 does USB host along with bluetooth mouse and keyboard out of the box.

My EVE Online folder is 10.2 gig and my World Of Tanks folder is 8.9gigs...so 7.7g isnt much.

or when the government creates barriers to entry so high, they never have any viable competition.

This would be less likely to happen in state such as Texas or Arizona where there are very liberal (ie right wing in this case) conceal carry laws. If one in twenty people are carrying a gun, your AK-47 rampage is ending very quickly.

Yea...but have you actually experienced what a public restroom smells like?
