Actually, in addition to being hysterical, I'd say this is totally fair game. It's not like they're being sent down that mountain at gun point. I wouldn't make fun of someone getting seriously injured or killed, but a little crash and burn is fair game.

Yes and No. Sure, the beliefs and motivations of Margaret Sanger are not the same as those at PP today. But to pretend like there is absolutely no connection or influence between the origins of PP and today's PP is just fool hardy. In fact, I found it very odd that the author of the article didn't discuss PP and…

Despite their arguably shady beginnings, and some shady things they do today, I feel PP provides a valuable service and does more good than harm. And no, no one is forced to go to PP. We are, however, forced to pay for it and that's a problem.

"Nationally they are at parity with public schools."

I just checked streetview and I'm not seeing that empty lot he used to be in anymore. So either a) my memory on the exact location is off (a real possibility) or b) it's truly the end of an era, and that's probably a good thing.

Well, that's just it. I don't think the tech is there yet for Apple to deliver a "remarkable" smart watch that "will change the world". But they just might deliver one anyway, even though Jobs would have taken one look at it and sent them back to the drawing board.

I have to admit, I love the Mario Bros movie. It's just so completely terrible that it's fun to watch.

"near the entrance to Nellis Air Force Base"

They inherited it from the Navy, who in tern may have inherited it from the army (I'm not sure how old it is). You'd be hard pressed to find a military instillation outside of the middle east with out a golf course. Admirals/Generals are very particular about their T times.

I practically grew up at that air field and still feel a nostalgic connection too it. Even more so now that my father passed. Here's hoping Google does something cool with it!

Here's my counter argument, and it's a thin one. Apple, and by Apple I really mean Jobs, was pretty good at successfully delivering a product for a market that previously didn't exist. That's basically what the iPad was. That said, i suspect any iWatch device that Apple might produce today would be one that Jobs…

When I envision an iWatch, I see a product that Jobs would never have allowed to go to production.

I don't disagree with any particular thing you just said. But despite all that diversity (which is one of the great things about California), sooner or later a prevailing dominate attitude/ideology will bubble to the surface. And that can be seen best by the political leaders/decisions in the state. Which, in my…

My thoughts exactly. I think it's a neat and original concept, but magical? No.

Nice!

I spent 19 years in that state and saw most of it multiple times. I know there are plenty of places where people are a bit more conservative. Orange county, for example, is surprisingly conservative. Particularly given that it's not too far from Hollywood. That doesn't change the fact that the majority are so far…

The USOC and it's various sub/associated organizations (like US skiing) can and will take every possible (but not against the rules) advantage that they can. As long as it's fair game for any other county to do the same I don't see the problem with it.

Despite it's production issues I really dig this ship. I would have loved to have been involved in the development of some of her systems. Given all the software on board I hope they've kept software maintenance in mind though. Right now it literally takes the navy about a decade to push a software update to the…

So a couple problems with your statements there.

That's not a smoke cloud, it's a smoke screen. Otherwise known as the AVIS, or Anti-Visual Identification System.
