Acceptable? What on earth are you talking about? Do you think because some people use a news board they all of a sudden have to have the same world view? Further the Germans who have had democracy have voted for (a kind of) socialism and (a

I would like clarification on the repeated statement that FISA is not a court but instead a review board. I am not sure if you are speaking from your educated interpretation, or something that is agreed upon as understood legal 'known&

When did Niles Rodgers last produce a breakout hit? I too am of the opinion that the success of the song had more to do with the music than the marketing in this case... but I dont think picking to work with a 'washed up' 70s &amp

of course, but once you get to a point 50 minutes out of every hour is a commercial, and only 10 minutes is an actual TV show... you start to see a breakdown in the whole business model. Perhaps Google has reached the point where they will
