Plenty of paperwork to process. Or they can wax the floors at the station, wash the patrol cars, sit in a chair and dispatch the younger folks, investigate crime scenes, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. instead of outsourcing them to people who could do those tasks more efficiently - like janitorial companies - you use them as a pension plan? no situation that a cliche can't solve! no need to know what police do! cut! cut! cut! keep your government hands off my research grants and subsidies! I applaud your use of j_b hyperbole with paramilitary and jackboot though. that's a nice touch. You forgot to mention union though. ooga booga!

uh, potholes are poor maintenance and underinvestment. course if we had a national health care plan things would be different, but then we wouldn't spend 30% on admin

so your plan is for them to raid in gap chinos carrying water pistols? 64 year old cops?

Not sure I would use 'the rest of us' for an example of obeying laws based on the auto driver behavior I observe daily. By better he meant, as usual, turning it into an industry with lots of administrators and other mucky-muckys. 5% of GDP to healthcare administration! GO USA!

As ironic of them dieing from western dieseases thanks to a massive apetite for western junk food?

not much of one

KKKK to the rescue!

The latest G-series (G10, G11, G12) don't have the zoom the G9 did. Check out the Canon S95 or older S90

http://www.pgs-usa.com/ There's plenty of anti-union violence in the world currently, usually by "defenders of freedom"

Because the Praetorian guard spent lots of time beating the crap out of union members? Oh, no, they didn't. The Pinkertons did.

the pinkertons

that's the cc.com conservative clavern, not the Republican party

try not to have your monitor on your chin

Of the small number of people I've met who did it, all had paraglided or skydived before and were good skiers. I'm thinking this would be a better mode of decent [video:youtube]VsaZW_ow3rE

an idiot ventriloquist dummy with an idiot ventriloquist dummy? nice act

lose some weight if your ass can't fit in the seat

why would you need to do that? just source it to the same chinese fabs; they'll more than happily do the copying for you.

I bought it 4/09, it was described as the "M'S R1 HOODY-SPECIAL", Orange color, $69. It uses the R1 fleece everywhere and has lower quality zippers. Dunno about the clearance model currently - website pick looks to have the R.5 at wrists. The newer, thinner hoody coming from NWAlpine looks cool

I thought delusional nutcase got you extra points when applying for citizenship. Something about "core canadian values"

Worried he'll distract from your shining art scene starts? Shania, Avril, Celine and Bryan might get angry

You're confusing the way that people live vs how well effective their doctors and hospitals are. Life expectancy variation in developed countries has much more to do with lifestyle choices, social forces, and accidents than it does clinical efficacy. The connection between something like insurance coverage and longevity is loose enough to lead to outcomes like the fact that hispanics outlive whites by ~ 2.5 years despite being three times a likely to lack coverage. The Danes live like 9 months longer than Bulgarians despite spending something like 20X more on health-care than Bulgarians in real terms. The proper conclusion to draw from these figures isn't that the Bulgarian health system is 20X as clinically effective as the Danish system, but that once you bring sanitation and vaccination up to a certain standard the aggregate effects of health spending on longevity are quite marginal at the population level. Variations in infant mortality have more to with registration artifacts that get introduced when different countries use different standards to determine what constitutes a live birth. A super-premie that dies in the US counts as an infant death, but it's a mulligan for most of the rest of the world. Ditto for quite a few babies that die anywhere between 24-72 hours after birth. Even direct comparisons of clinical efficacy are difficult because the standards that determine who get into a study are different, and can easily be biased by a population that's younger and healthier going into the study. Having said that, produce some studies of clinical efficacy and we can have fun parsing those stats, which are the only meaningful ones to use when determining how effective a medical system in a developed country is. I find your assertions about how government rationing works in practice amusing, since in every system where the government is the sole payor the government can and does draw the line between who gets treated and who doesn't. "damnit stop encroaching on my income stream, I'm supposed to benefit from the free market, not feel it's effects" the proper conculsion is Bulgaria's fucking poor, dolt

Saw and ad here today for the NW Alpine Hoody:' http://nwalpine.com/apparel which looks nice (similar to the patagonia R1 at half the price - yeah, I know the regular R1 has the microgrid palm and waist, I've the shitty 2nds version that doesn't), and nicely priced. What's the fit like? Well sewn?

Face down and ass up, that's the way I like to F$@% mama taught her well

Yes - the quality and selection of wine, beer, and spirits in California is a pale shadow of what we've got here in Washington. of course, the only difference between Washington and California is the wine and liquor laws Supply follows demand. bring on the golden shower!

wrong, wrong, wrong.. Are we in a nested sarcasm loop here or are you really not getting the whole facetious thing? you're failing at facetious.
