Pagers? Was this article written in 1993?

MJ1970 was referring to the state in a general sense, as in the government, not a U.S. State such as New York. The clue here was the use of the definite article "the" to refer to "the state." If he meant a particular state, he would use the indefi…

There are many things that some claim could not be so without a state. That is only because most humans have very poor imaginations.

Well it appears we dispatched Luykx with our unassailable logic and wit. If only Carl Levin read AI.

Another thing for those saying all we need to do is close the loopholes, get a clue. Close the loopholes, but if and only if the rates are lowered to at or below the OECD average. The US currently has the highest corporate rates in the OECD. Getti…
