Oh, so you're price controls on the oil and gas industry are going to have different affects than price controls on the oil and gas industry have had historically (i.e. shortages and inflation). Interesting. How so?

Speaking of history repeating itself, let me get this straight: You're proposing that we impose the same kind of regulations and price controls on the oil industry that Nixon did during the 1970s, right? These would be the same kind of regulations that are widely credited for causing a severe...

From an evolutionary perspective, that sort of projecting seems like a colossal waste of time for gay people, considering homosexuality is an evolutionary dead end.

This thread has become ghey.

Recently? Right-to-work laws were authorized in 1947 -- three years before Reuther Treaty of Detroit, a full seven years before unions reached their membership apex in 1954, and a good 34 years before 1980 or anything that's happened over the past 30 years. For all intents and purposes...

So what would be some specific legislation over the past, say, 30 years?

There's poly-amorous groups. There's polygamous groups. There's a whole big world out there. What's fair is equal access, rights? Provided everyone has the same access to the legal documents, it's fair in a legal sense. You wouldn't make the documents "more available" or "less expensive" to...

You're not letting everyone have the same rights. You're just playing musical chairs with who's being discriminated against. There are loving unions beyond heterosexual and homosexual couples. Besides, you're not reforming the system. You're doing away with marriage certificates. All the...

Marriage privatization. If you want real "marriage equality" (i.e. anyone can marry whomever he or she loves, provided he or she can give legal consent), privatization is the only intellectually honest way to go.

From a Libertarian perspective, the solution is -- once again -- less government rather than more government. The problem you're laying out isn't so much illegal immigration as much as it is a welfare system and government that subsidizes poverty and joblessness. Change that system, and those...

During the 1980s, Reagan signed an Amnesty Bill under the pretense that Congress would make the border more secure. They didn't. You can interpret this anecdote in two ways: 1) Congress failed to live up to their end of the bargain. 2) There's only so much a government can do to keep out...

Really? I was somewhat partial to Dee-Nice.

No, it does not. And that's a salient criticism. The graph is meant to show the indiscriminate nature of drone strikes, and it does give you pause in the use of drone strikes.

This is a fascinating way of visualizing the drone strikes we've performed since 2004. http://drones.pitchinteractive.com/

Here's my question: Why is it called "Gay rights" rather than "Gay lefts"? Inquiring minds...

When you don't draft particularly well at certain position, you're constantly overspending to fill those positions, hence the cap problems.
