Are you sure that they're settling for tweaking instead of not settling on a supertight sound to begin with?

This is an AMC show' date=' same net as Madmen. I don't think it has ever aired in canada.[/quote'] I don't think it ever aired anywhere. Cable Network.

If they have to pay a tax for the oil (carbon) they EXPORT then it will eat into their profits.

Hmm...Elliot Brood or some deep dub? nice.

It's remarkable that we've made climate change such a hot issue that the focus is on the greenhouse effect instead of needless pollution of every sort. What are we going to see to prompt measures to stop polluting our world in general? Too bad we're "fighting climate change" instead of using our collective resources to support sustainable civilization. Somehow the latter feels far more achievable as a political and economic aim. How is it that the leaders of the richest and most influential countries with think tanks and teams of professionals haven't beat me to this one?

Hipster forever, eh?

Other than the writers not trusting their audiences' intellect, I'm all for it.

I'm surprised you're surprised, Luke. HBO is a real sleeper for this forum - this deja vu is so Eastbound and Down.

If anyone has a real reason to be worried they probably have an RFID chip somewhere on their clothing they'd never expect.

How is your decision to take vitamins a political one?

Though we've been a member since 1963, there are many guidelines that haven't been systematically implemented across the board yet. for instance: People can still buy meat that was grown without growth hormones and antibiotics. Organic Produce is still available to consumers. We still have the option to take vitamins and herbal supplements - mostly because of them being classed as 'natural health products' instead of food.

Is it on track to be pushed through in Canada? 12.31.09?

They sound great, can be tuned (if you put a non-mesh skin on the back) and don't go missing as easily as microphones.

I think he's been busy fighting evil with a hammer.

Social and economic costs too high? I think that the leaders that are going to Copenhagen should sit down and watch a few episodes of 'hoarders' put into perspective of the nature of that summit. How can we clean up our mess if we're still making it? Who the hell's going to clean up the mess? Very important questions?

I think that in the USA Marg would be a bit too obviously fictitious. Here we'd probably say 'who's that crazy newf' or 'wait a second...is she from Cape Breton' if it's out West or maybe in downtown T'ronno. that was great last night. I'm so glad that show still feels relevant...as relevant as political commentary can I suppose.

+1 The Swine flu issue has started me on the 'why bother harping anymore, let alone why did I start in the first place' path. The crazies here are so much more moderate than on the rest of the internet - so much that the moderates may just be the real crazy ones.

http://cnhc.ca/campaign5point1.html Ottawa Rally for Senate Hearings, Wednesday at 3:30 - 140 Wellington. The issue here is to support the rule of law. Sure the fringe element can splinter skeptics and newcomers, but the real potential for the rule of law to be overturned by the rule of the corporatocracy or other special interests is very high. I hope I can make it.

should I keep watching past 0:38?

The part about him supposing the greenhouse effect and it being based on 'fossil' fuels or all the other juicy bits?

Thanks for that, nibbler.

*groan*

While I appreciate the health standards of consumer goods being held high, the legislation is vague enough to not be confined to manufacturers and removes enough due process to significantly infringe on otherwise upheld freedoms and rights. -right to privacy/private property rights -changes passing without parliamentary approval (not just consumer goods, but entire governmental processes and nationwide standards) This bill is being passed off as being 'much needed' while the current system isn't really broken - it just needs to be used more effectively. If there were a way for this bill to be passed and have these red flags not fly then I'd be all for it.

Sounds fair to me.

'Consumer products' Anything that could be 'unsafe'. Products could be reviewed and passed into the bill without going to committee or using otherwise expected due process. Essentially - anything they want. Even an empty vacant home has light sockets - which are 'consumer products'. Is such a vague and far-reaching set of terms as 'consumer products' so dangerous that we negate the law of trespass, property seizure, and the necessity of court ordered search warrant? http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-spc/legislation/acts-lois/bill_c6-loi-eng.php Is the threat of melamine and lead paint so great that we leave ourselves open to the eradication of our freedom and privacy? In the ultra rare case of illegal imports of controlled/banned consumer products that would be shipped around Canada then this could be useful, but what would that kind of situation really look like? Chances are, Health Canada wouldn't be the fastest ones to act on the issue to nip it in the bud. - http://www.ottawaskeptics.org/topics/psychics-and-esp/191-is-bill-c-6-the-new-bill-c-51 However... - http://nhppa.org/?page_id=70#29
