In the context of a city, self-rule means the place has a mayor and a city council. It can pass local ordinances, have a local sales tax, and provide services to the constituents. Not all places start out with those things. The rules differ

Advertising creates a race to the bottom, that is, the lowest common denominator. It requires watering down of content to be entertaining to the masses, rather than to provide deep insights required by a very small population of eyeballs.

Apple's value is it's advertising and brand. It's products are objectively not higher quality. People just say that because they have been told that by other people. High quality products last a long time. Apple's prod

You're speaking from the perspective of a theaticlastic denomination, so it's hard for you to accept another perspective. You have an idea in your mind and it makes sense to you, but you can't explain it or define it. You&#x2

I understand your arguments. I'm not discounting them. I am saying I don't agree with them. It sounds dangerously like when I was just out of college and I didn't understand why something in the company was done that way and

For USA citizens who are Jewish, they want their homeland to continue to exist. For the military industrial complex, they see it as jobs and profit. For the politically minded, they might prefer to see democracy prevail.
