Cuba has not made its own decisions.

Fidel Castro, a ruthless dictator, has made all the decisions for Cuba.

I think that many people who grew up during World War II would have experienced this effect too.

Considering the self-destruction of societies under totalitarian rule such as the USSR and Albania, it could be argued that living in a war is better than living under a dictatorship.

The conditions of life in Iraq have improved since the overthrow of Saddam, the best efforts of terrorists and Democratic Party supporters notwithstanding.

The lawyers who run the child support case are going to have fun.

A couple of commenters ask why there were no known advancements in computing technology for a thousand years after the Antikythera Mechanism.

During the intervening period, the Roman Empire collapsed and much the fruits of European civilisation were lost in a period called the Dark Ages. It was only after hundreds of years that technology resumed its march.

Though there were some developments in other parts of the world, they didn't catch on and change history the way that the Renaissance and Industrial Revolution did.

It's a free-for-all!

'Photoshop' was verbed years ago.

Cut off his own hand? That's nothing. Watch this!

The website at the link seems to be dedicated to attacking Giuliani and other Republicans. It's a pretty left-leaning site, and I suspect any attack video on Hillary would emanate from the Nader/Kuchinich zone.

What's 'inspiring' about a political symbol that is used in support of terrorists and dictators?

This has to be a yolk.

What impresses me is that the person chose to take a photo instead of saving the laptop. Either it wasn't theirs, or they appreciate the value of Great Art.

Kind of demonstrates the utility of hippy pacifism versus common sense in the real world.

There's a reason why humans rule and bonobos exist at our mercy.

This is crumby art. It will get stale very quickly. The artist is crackers. One day his cookie will crumble.

Or maybe you could just replace your gas-guzzling V8 with one of those neat microengines ...
