  1. Bienvenue et bonne chance!
  2. My point was not about the referendum, but the nature of the Heritage Foundation. It is naive of you to think that just because the Foundation self-identifies as being "conservative" on its website, that it actually makes them so. I suggest you do some research into the difference between conservatism and neo-liberalism. And if my residence in Canada means I can't comment on the referendum (which, as I said, was not the issue anyway), then your residence in the UK makes you ineligible to comment on the nature and activities of the Heritage Foundation.
  3. Ah, yes, the Heritage Foundation. It is not a "conservative" think tank. It is a corporate-funded institute (the Koch brothers, for example) that pretends to use scholarly research to push a neo-liberal agenda. "Free trade" is free for whom? Free trade doesn't promote sovereignty—just the opposite. If you look at NAFTA (the North American Free-Trade Agreement), for example, the dominant power (the U.S.) uses elements of the Agreement to weaken the cultural and environmental sovereignty of the weaker signatories (Canada and Mexico)—on behalf of its multi-national corporations.
  4. Roll [Do I get extra points for a run of three?!]
  5. Horrible crime. Condolences to her friends and family.
  6. A few statistics for you from a magazine article in December, 2015: - Since John Lennon was shot dead in NYC in December 1980, more than 1,150,000 Americans (civilians) have died in gun violence - Since 1968, more American civilians have been killed in gun violence than all the casualties of all the wars in US history - 90 Americans die every day in gun violence; that's about 33,000 per year
  7. I see. Something is happening; or nothing is happening. That clarifies things.
  8. To calm neurotic fans? To placate fans who are constantly demanding "communication" on the issue? To put pressure on RK? To fuel speculation to keep bored fans interested? Who knows? But at least something's happening.
