Participant107x might be impossible to find in SD, but it’s child’s play in my neck of the woods and has been for two years. Using Bug’s old butterfly effect theory, my guess is that it may be coming your way.

ParticipantThe Ides of March was on the 15th, and one of the few superstitions my rational brain still cannot fully ignore.
I thought we were supposed to start getting out of wars, not getting into new ones.
I’m having trouble understanding why it’s our responsibility to help fight dictators in far away places. We seem to be able to get by with minimal conflict when it comes to Castro and Chavez. Don’t say oil, Chavez has lots of oil, we never have wars with Venezuela, and that guy is totally nuts. Castro is not exactly benevolent. Is it that the catholic dictators aren’t as big on human atrocities or terrorism? I say, who cares as long as it stays over there, I can’t think of a time in history where the middle east was peaceful, nor do envision a future where it will be. So why can’t we just watch it on TV, I’ll gladly root for the french, I’m glad they found their testicles, they have my permission to take a turn dealing with it. Meanwhile, we’ve only been using oil for less than a century, let’s figure that thing out and it will be whole lot easier ignoring these places.

ParticipantIt took a double overtime, but SDSU has advanced to the sweet sixteen. That should mostly quiet the critics but they actually need to advance to the elite eight to reach the predicted value of a #2 seed. Whatever…this is sweet!!!
On a side note, and please do not make political comments, but Obama is #492 out of almost 6,000,000 entrants into the espn bracket contest. I’m sitting at about 3,200,000 in the rankings and I spend more time than I care to admit following this stuff and I don’t run a large country as my day job.

March 17, 2011 at 9:30 PM in reply to: OT – Should the government fund the press, the arts and the sciences? #678216ParticipantWhy does your headline say “sciences?”
Just because the government doesn’t fund it doesn’t mean it won’t exist.
So to answer your question:
Science: It depends.
Some things are needed by the people but not profitable so industry won’t deliver, in those cases, I’m OK with the government stepping up. 200 million for autism research in this years budget is an example of where I support it. The answer to that and many other diseases may not end up being something a company can sell, so there’s not a business model, but solving certain medical riddles will ultimately benefit the populace and the government’s future budget. A good deal of these grants go to universities, other innovations tend to spin off from these research projects and many of those lead to more revenues for the government, so it’s easy to make that argument.
Art: No.
Sorry, it’s a consumer product, let the consumer pay for it. If nobody wants to pay to see it or buy it, then we can live without it.
