Battery is where there's actual physical contact.

That's why they say "assault AND battery" for a physical attack on another person.

You're right. Just about every electronic item we own or use comes from factories like Foxconn. Apple does not have the lock on slave labor practices.

Wait until they recreate a Mastodon or Wooly Mammoth. They've been thinking about trying it, and some DNA has been found in frozen specimens from Siberia. A Mastodon skeleton was recently unearthed not too far from where I live. :P http://www.gazettetimes.com/news/local/mastodon-bones-found-at-const...

I really hope I'm wrong and Americans will look past the rising gas prices as the "It's all Obama's fault and we need to kick him out of office for just that one stupid reason ". Doesn't matter which party controls the White House people, gas prices are going to go up because the Oil Comp...

You know what, if Israel feels threatened by them then let them fight. They have planes and they have the bomb. I think they've shown that when they feel an immediacy to act they do so. If they haven't attacked Iran yet, then there is nothing to worry about at this point. Shouldn't you be in favor ...

Don't faint TC but Bill O'Rielly agrees with you.

That's the problem. If one has any investments in the Stock Market and had any capital gains or loss carryovers (which most people will have from the last several years), or worse, own some TIPS (inflation protected treasuries) mixed in there, you're in for a nightmare if you're not an accountant.

A nice read; but a futile search, both parties were liquidated by wall street a long time ago. That's why the Dems always cave in.

A better example of socialism actually working for a change would be the US road/highway system and the electric grid, and the good old land line phone service.

I don't think it is wise to remove the limits on government, the problem isn't that the government lacks the power to solve these issues, it is that the government is deliberately incompetent.
