Oh they do have good food, and a good selection of beer/wine. You pay through the nose for it, and rarely do they sell things that aren't available elsewhere in the community.

Shit, revolution isn't the most logical way to obtain liberty

I like hops.

It'd never happen here

Wrong.

It's solid and predictable, but their are much better mexican food options available. It's a Chipotle or Baja Fresh. Not bad just uniformly mediocre Any summit beats the best food joint in town

Some of us are. Some of us have advocated higher gas taxes in the past to encourage market oriented solutions. As for the GE free food movement, yes some of the science is questionable. But so are the business tactics of the conglomerates behind it (such as Monsanto's "site license" crops)

Since gas was expensive and he was poor he bicycled to many of his climbs and then home again, sometimes at night so he could get home for work in the morning. On subject, with only minor changes and some care from the public american cities could be made more mass transit (buses) and personal transit (bike and foot) friendly

Oh boy! Crappy chain mexican!

As hyperbolic as that idiot.

It's called a bicycle.

Research "Austrian school" and his economics epistemology papers please. Like many academics of the 20th century he started off with interesting grounded research and progressed to an intellectual wankfest. On a tangent, where's the schadenfreude for the "Islamist" riots in France?

Every side has their obscure intellectual of choice. Of course I prefer those who believe in studies based on observal fact, not those who refute them.

We know your collection of Rand wouldn't fit though. C'est domage.

Darling, I'd like to make a deposit.

There's a difference between many of the creationist advocacy groups and supporters of creationism. Many of the advocacy groups do utilize scientific, and psedoscientific literature. The supporters don't necessarily, and they are who I was speaking of.

shh. Don't rattle the cage with thoughts of democracy and rights. That story was front page at http://www.washingtonpost.com today

I was speaking of some of the branchs of PoMo that posit "facts" are all relative to the user and that each of us are equally qualified to evaluate all situations and all of our opinions are equally valid on all subjects. I hear that position espoused in evolution debates.

It seams most Americans now choose sources to justify and reinforce their opinions or increasingly even outsourcing opinion formation. In a preInternet/Cable TV era with fewer sources of information, and perhaps more oblique editorialization, opinion formation resided closer to the individual and his community.

Coupled with an inability of people to differentiate between sources and influences in a substantive manner. It's interesting to watch the American right, who long railed against the relativism inherent in parts of postModern theory now accept and utilize the same identity/feeling logic to justify their positions.

General Jack D. Ripper: You know when fluoridation first began? Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: I... no, no. I don't, Jack. General Jack D. Ripper: Nineteen hundred and forty-six. Nineteen forty-six, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works. Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Uh, Jack, Jack, listen, tell me, tell me, Jack. When did you first... become... well, develop this theory? General Jack D. Ripper: Well, I, uh... I... I... first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love. Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Hmm. General Jack D. Ripper: Yes, a uh, a profound sense of fatigue... a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I... I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence. Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Hmm. General Jack D. Ripper: I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women uh... women sense my power and they seek the life essence. I, uh... I do not avoid women, Mandrake. Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: No. General Jack D. Ripper: But I... I do deny them my essence.

Suicide isn't a crime in any US state currently (it was historically). Aiding is in many states, including WA I believe. Of course the standard retribution for medical personel asissting suicide is extrajudicial revocation of licensure.
