Thank you. Yes the document is old. If we feel is outdated there is a mechanism * within the law* to change it!

"I think the gun provisions have not. For starters it's crazy to think that a militia equipped with a stock pile of firearms can overtake a intrusive government with tanks, choppers etc. It's just not realistic." I disag

Hate to be a negative nancy... ..But we're making a fuss about restarting the production of something we'd already mastered, and we first made in 1941? I'll be more interested when an American commercial breeder reactor comes

I disagree. I think of this community as driven as much by intellectual thirst as it is by entrepreneurship. I tried working for a start up and I hated it. But I love YC news for everything the web has ceased to be, Interesting and intellec

"It seems the real shift is from the web's nodes being ideas/text, to being people/personas." Brilliant. I would add that just this point in itself is a sufficient reason to stand up for an internet whose technology

A country cannot have a widely distrusted currency for long, because everyone will do as you say (exchange away).This causes capital flight, so the gov't introduces capital controls shortly thereafter. So the only way to do as you say

That its largely a symptom of credit card companies not giving a darn about security or their customers. I get more upset by the companies getting hacked once their negligent practices come to light.

Your comment suggests you've never lived in a country where you would want/need to exchange your currency. The smart money (I.e. politically well connected) gets to exchange their money. As soon as every one else finds out, capita

Well there won't be any Asians either. Japan has a celibacy problem, sekkusu shinai shokogun. Their young have given up on sex altogether. They've killed even the two most physical and the most primitive joys in life - sex and th

Sure S. Korea is great Taiwan also. But before insinuating that europe's economic woes are due to their summer holidays, I'd look at curroption and the like.

The OP was referring to NASA's shot term (ten year) delusion. Flying a rocket to the moon is orders of magnitude more expensive that couldn't have been matched by chem rockets (and weren't, even for the very generously funded

The EU block's GDP is also the highest in the world though, with little room to grow. Furthermore, the only Asian country if comparable GOP/capita is Japan which has smaller growth than Europe for two decades...

The crazies, maybe. I hope not most NASA folk; there really is no way for lunar landings to have been common using chemical propellants and disposable rockets. Even today alternatives are mere speculations. So either our NASA dreamer was a

We're not nihilists. We see a political process that is broken and throws some peanuts our way to keep the paroles happy. But if you're a potential donor like Lockheed Martin you bill the gov't for a flightless bird The ACA

You're lucky if your case gets that far. Usually an often elected professional will twist your arm to plead guilty.

It's not an explanation, it's probably the truth. John Edgar Hoover did this with the FBI almost 100 years ago. Why would it have stopped? There's no reason for them to have stopped blackmailing folks. In fact there are sever

The entire political process is a vetting system to weed out the unreliables and the ones who won't play by the rules. Also, I have an inkling that the system is a sociopath pass filter; at any level of government the candidate who is

Now if only someone would finish SGI emulation so I can run my old programs without loud fans, dying hard drives and the equivalent of a space heater war in the room up.
