Seems to be a common game with ignorant right and ignorant left (I can think of a million instances of ignorant right-wing people rambling on incessantly about the "socialist" part of national socialist german workers' party). The difference I suppose is that fascism is a far-right ideal and not a far-left one. Also the fact that the far-right in the United States are in some cases literal neonazis.

I'd hate to be either of the two students the author throws under the bus with nary a sentence of context (the bus here being thousands of words describing Lenin's atrocities). Just think, one moment you're unable to sufficiently articulate your feelings on hate speech in front of a class to satisfy your professor, the next moment you've been lumped in with a mass murderer!

A very interesting topic is how the details of Earth's orbit at any one time affect the change in global temperature. You can read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milankovitch_cycles

At first glance, I thought this is what he was quoting. I haven't thought about this page in a long time.

In my mind it's much more like Zodiac. It's not nearly as "smart" as Snow Crash or Cryptonomicon, and at least to me sort of screamed "grocery store fiction" as I was reading it. That said, I could not put it down, and found myself following every twist and turn with a grin.

Thinking of the Children pales in comparison to "But what about my ranch?" Wolf extinction, wolf reintroduction, and wolf hunting licenses are all fun topics in Montana.

The color is fine, it's just the way it only highlights each line instead of the entire header.
Here's an example: http://i.imgur.com/hQLoUwd.png

On multipurpose-template-one, the hover-over text color change for the first row of content is not quite right.
Also I'm sure it's just in the works but the homepage doesn't seem to quite have received the design love that the templates have. Looking good!

Shucks, I had just started working on something very similar as a project! Introducing cooking to people who wouldn't otherwise consider it reasonable or possible for their lifestyle is a fantastic thing to strive for and I wish you all the best.

It certainly depends on where you are. In Seattle, we get 90% of our power from hydroelectric, and almost all of the remaining 10% from either nuclear or wind. I wonder what the comparison between cities with electric transportation services and without, and their respective power supplies would show.

Here's the presentation. It's a pretty fantastic watch that shows what just a few small design decisions can do for a product's impressions on an audience.

Check this out. You can clearly see it the majority of the commands move in the desired direction (or at least some of the time).

The retired mold bit happens quite a lot with carbon fiber bicycle frames. A couple companies have gotten quite upset with Chinese manufacturers in the past.
