Don't think the sky burial would go over well in the US.

George, Dick and Donald

Even more interesting is that the older, better numbers are the only ones that showed up in my search.

Compare ground footprint. Compare land costs. Simple math really.

And Bush's goose is getting cooked.

"occurring over a wide geographic area and affecting an exceptionally high proportion of the population"

That was part of the logic behind helmet rules I believe. Public health policy. I'm curious of the civil libertarians views on public health policy regarding avian flu/anthrax/other pandemics. Should the government be allowed to mandate behavior, or should we trust that all citizens will act in their best interest?

That paper is farcical pp! Lysenko Lives!

Funny to hear people bitch about smoke when they are drinking alcohol.

The stream running through the middle of the town park has 20" trout. N-Zed is a fun time, and a good pissup.

This place is slow

yup.

Humans don't need science to monstrously slaughter hundreds of thousands, we are quite capable using basic technology, as Rwanda showed.

There's a substantial number that became proponents. The late Edward Teller foremost among those. Most of the proponents labored in relative secrecy because they were still building bombs, whereas the opponents generally labored in more open environs.

Retour a la normal

If we make the assumption that all corporations are well managed, can we not make the same assumption about all governments?

Jay-As all freemarket disciples you assume that the ultimate goal of every corporation is selfperpetuation, and the means by which they wish to accomplish this is legal and ethical conduct. That is patently false on both counts. As a good first world citizens you also assume that ultimate market control resides in the consumer. It doesn't. Over long time frames (how long is debatable) your suppositions are probably correct but they ignore the very real problems that can occur in the short term. But those are after all just problems for poor people, and we shouldn't concern ourselves with the losers

Bullshit. Freetrade may reduce the power of one corporation in one market; to say it redcues their overall influence is farcical. That would only be true if it didn't benefit them. One need only look at the global influence of a companies like GE, Boeing and Exxon to see the long arm of globalism. Yes, it can and does benefit people. It doesn't always. As for you Republicans are all about free trade rant JayB - spend more time looking into the Pat Buchanan wing of the party, the "minutemen" now patrolling our borders, and the xenophobic rural wing of the party. Your disgust at the latte sipping liberals may have blinded you to the nearer enemy.

Where? The adirondaks are pretty good on a number of fronts, and less crowded than CO.

Fuck, man, those 3 have substantial constituencies in the Republican Party, which, last I checked, was right of center. Or are you conveniently choosing to ignore the party platform on which Bush was elected (no foreign intervention), several of his policy actions in office (steel&softwood tariffs, farm subsidies,...), and his administrations continued fetish for giving the oil industry every wet dream (state intervention)

eh, a slightly underexposed image that was taken on a digislr with less dynamic range then fixed in photoshop

Not this one I hope!
