Sure, not rhinovirus but definitely polio. Surely you aren't proposing that anyone ever tried to limit free assembly for run-of-the-mill germs. Point being, your rights exist in tension with public health; they are not absolute.

Yeah, infectious disease beats free assembly every time.

You can't just say "the 2nd amendment" and assume we all mean the same thing. Radical misinterpretation is way too common for that.

Careless deference to the 2nd amendment (more generally, deference to "the constitution") is among the reddest flags you can throw.

> I see that you have a hard time following an argument and the rhetorical techniques I used. I will break it down. Classic. They're not having trouble following your argument. They just disagree.

I wonder how many readers they've netted with their pun-tastic title, and whether we should actually reward that kind of trolling.

I came to like the people that comprise systems, their needs, the composition of their systems, and the overall efficient function of composed systems. Programming still interests me but it sure doesn't motivate me like it used to.

The disparity of benefits provided by the GI bill yielded exactly a modern racial disparity. I think you and OP are on the short side of explaining why such an overtly racist event can be described as a net benefit. The sentiment that you b

I did not read that he was given authority to alter the team composition. I hope I'm just wrong, because that's a poor circumstance.

Totally agreed. These are the counterexamples. I loved C&H and am glad that I don't have to deal with either of them trying to sell me toothpaste or car insurance. Super glad.
