It was a stupid move. Few people benefit from increased drilling, mainly wealthy oil executives and large investment groups that own much of their stock. (The amount each individual who has a pension gets from their increased profits is so small it's laughable to call that a benefit.) The...

As defined by the Republican Party Primary? At the moment (still VERY early), they seem to think he's acting the second most Presidential among those who appear to be running. As defined by the nation as a whole? No. The smarter candidates cater to the extreme at smaller events and cater to the...

PC (no admin access)? I'm trying to use PCs in a public library. I want to be able to download articles from their proprietary databases directly to my PC. It seems to me that, if it's possible, the simplest way would be to install some software on my computer, then connect a USB-USB bridge...

There's no technical requirements proscribed by the Constitution. In fact, the Constitution only mentions 1 judge, the Chief Justice. Every other federal judgeship, including the number of other Supreme Court judges is determined by Congress. They set the requirements, but essentially anyone...

Although he formerly opposed it, Clinton and others have convinced Obama to support the idea of mandatory minimal insurance (with tax credits for those who can't afford it and some exceptions as well). There was never any suggestion of jail time for refusing to get health insurance, perhaps a...

We don't call them sides, we call them teams, but here's some of the best: Baseball: The Yankees. They've won exactly 1/4 of all World Series (US/Canadian championship, but mainly US, since there have only been 2 Canadian teams and currenlty there's only 1). The Yankees have won more...

=C7*4/3 I don't see why you're using "sum" at all here since you don't have a range of values, just one value: C7

Very easy. Every train downtown except for the J, M, and Z (brown line) runs to midtown. Which one you should take depends on where you are in the Financial District and where you're going in Midtown. Just make sure you get on a train that's going Uptown/Bronx or Uptown/Queens and check the map...

Deregulation of over the course of the past few decades. The deregulation movement in general began under Reagan. Media conglomerates are one of many examples.

Americans in general don't embrace animal abuse. Cock-fighting is illegal in most of the US too. The Federal Government can't make it illegal, but I believe all States and Territories except Puerto-Rico have outlawed the practice. And that is not a political thing at all. It's one area where...

Former Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall was of that sort of caliber. He was the lawyer who argued Brown v. Board of Ed and several other major cases before becoming the Solicitor General of the United States and then a Supreme Court Justice. Lawyers of that caliber don't come around...

If you're not paying up front, typical rates are between 30% and 40%. 1/3 is typical. If you pay up front, it's much cheaper. Hourly rates vary from $150 an hour or so up to $700 an hour for top partners at major NYC firms. That's typically cheaper than paying a percentage of your settlement...

I don't know the statute of limitations on draft dodging, but I'd be surprised if you'd have any legal trouble. However it strikes me as something that people who were drafted and served find offensive. Many of them were against the war themselves, but forced to go only to come back and find...
