Not true at all.... possession != ownership I am so tired of people parroting this crap fact. Someone mod parent down... There is zero insight here, just a typical Law and Order viewer who thinks they know what the Law is.

I hear it should hit us on Tuesday, as I reside near Worcester, MA. Currently I have taken care of my barn yard and two greenhouses with my brother. We intended to get a jump start on the "action". Tomorrow we will split wood (which has to happen regardless) then get gas for the generator, check and run the generator, prep the chainsaws, gas the trucks, fuel the tractor, field-strip/clean/oil our firearms, get beer, get scotch, cook dinner, yada yada. Then do whatever else is required (I think shower, but my girlfriend is currently not around... sooo if a tree falls, right?) but that really isn't much of a change of habit. I just hope my chickens and crops do ok with the 6-10 inches of rain predicted to hit.

My question is as follows: Agnostic vs Atheist; does one need to have a stance on god? I understand the war on science as I do see it often. I also understand your points about making a stand for science... but is it really needed to promote science? That is, why/does science need religion in someways to make distinctions between reality and fantasy? Thank you and I will take my question off-air.

It seems that "The Right Stuff" is actually cocaine.

that's close to 13 or so violations a day... which is a lot or surprisingly few, depending on how you look at it.

After you get it, try out - http://bodybrowser.googlelabs.com/ I think it's neat anyhow and and I had never used a WebGL app prior. Awesome stuff.

that is exactly correct. it is called a concerted protected activity!

I believe one of the aspects the NLRB is protecting here is the right to complain and collaborate via email or other electronic means. collaboration is key here. You would not be protected in speech based on saying something like "My boss John Doe is an incompetent asshole" because there is no collaboration there... its just a statement. I could be wrong here, but as I understand it, you would need to add in something to the effect of " my boss john doe is an incompetent asshole and would anyone like to start a group or get together and talk about it?" The reason goes back to some basic things like the right to form unions with out being fired, threatened or physically stopped (this used to be very common (Pinkertons)). This is not a groundbreaking decision here... any labor lawyer could tell you that... the real headline here is that this is how it should be and soon the Congress will most assuredly do everything they can (short of blowing up the NLRB) to stomp this out of existence.

"I'm feeling lucky" sends me to the wiki for oil spill. USA dude here.

No spam in my buzz box... also I would add that buzz imho is great.

I'm not blocked from going to 4chan on my droid... so whats this all about?
