This is why the system is the worst and why it has zero legitimacy. But it is the system that produces more prosperity than any other. Full bore socialism was and is a failure. For a "socialist" system to work, it needs a market component to it to maintain a decent level of productivity. ruveyn No ... |

I'm a big fan of the technicality. I don't lie, but I only give people as much of the truth as they need to hear. |

I can't even see the argument for private prisons in the name of small government being made. As the private prison is still funded by taxpayer money, but the taxpayers would presumably have less ability to influence the activities of a private prison than they would a public one, if anything it is ... |

If those charges stand and he is convicted of them, it is a bad day for Pro-Choice. The entire anti-abortion movement rests on the untruth that a fetus is a person. ruveyn What exactly makes you the final authority in defining what truly constitutes a person again?

But the thing I don't get is how is the state paying private prisons to keep inmates any different from the state funding the prisons themselves? And if it isn't, then why do private prisons even exist? shouldn't they not be used to prevent this type of thing? |

Isn't that a bit of a chicken and egg question, though? The public doesn't trust government, therefore Congress limits government's discretion, therefore the public doesn't trust government. Officials can't break that cycle--we aren't allowed to act outside the limits of the laws that give us our a... |

But would you agree that an exception should exist for cases such as this? No. Regulation should be as simple for businesses to comply with as possible. A rule that says, "you must identify the potential presence of any of these 14 allergens on your package," is simple and easy to implement. A rule... |

^That's interesting about the oxygen depravation. The documentary I saw suggested the victim was controlled via hypnosis, but with the brain damage that might not even be necessary.

I went to the shoe website and they describe the experiment exactly as you do. So this is an accurate description of their experiment. It is also a very poorly designed experiment which does not prove what they think it proves. USPS has a requirement that packages be sealed with clear or brown pack... |
