I've noticed how anyone who is conservative or right of centre doesn't give a damn about anything but that enormous pile of money they worship.
Clearly, painting 50% of the US population as evil with one brush stroke is an entirely rationale position founded in fact. Now all we need is some birther to come in here and claim that "'dem liber-UH-ls are destroying our country!", and the ignorant, partisan, internet hackery will have come full circle.
Let's get this straight. The patent system is designed to protect innovators from copycats. And someone got a patent and then sued a copycat. It must be a slow news day for you, Mike.
What if it wasn't even a valid patent lawsuit in the first place, but was just filed to scare off investors?
There is still a huge pay gap for women doing the same jobs as men
Not if you account for all factors, iirc. If you look at women who are career-oriented and childless (i.e. like most men), you find that women make more for the same job.
Seems like it wouldn't go very far due to the Supremacy Clause (if we assume that there is a clear mandate for the TSA to do these "searches" in federal law). If the law doesn't spell out how they must conduct themselves, and these searches are simply TSA policy, it might have an affect.
Scott Adams did not "compare women to the mentally handicapped". He simply said that the strategies for dealing with both of those groups were similar for a man, in that there was no way to win the fight.
Ironically, the firestorm of indignation that resulted from his post proved his point; from the moment he started typing, there was a hand behind a keyboard getting ready to make a federal case out of every word. He literally couldn't win.
