In all seriousness though that program is evil, I would be glad to see it lose market share by any measure, I never completely managed to remove it from an old desktop of mine (came pre-packaged) and that's despite removing all the program files, using their own uninstaller and purging the registries. I've since given the box away to a friend but I wiped all the drives before doing so and apparently it still comes up with popups occasionally.

Obama is right of center
Only if center is the Communist party.
By most of the worlds standards Obama is indeed right of centre, there are few if any American politicians who aren't. Ask anyone with a basic knowledge of Politics, from Europe, South America or Asia, hell even Canada and they'll give you the same answer. A lot of us also think your medical system is a complete disgrace.

Do you realize that the US is the largest manufacturer in the world not China. Countries see these big gains as they improve thief infrastructure but they never surpass the US. Look at Germany and Japan both have had times in the past 60 years where "experts" said they were over taking the US.
Bullshit.

The Coriolis effect is far too small to have any significant impact on flywheels this small, it only really has an effect on large scale systems such as cyclonic storms and even then it's amplified due to the proximity to the equator.
