  • Canada only has appointed judges, and their appointments are almost uniformly meritorious. It's so much better than elected judges and keeps politics out of the Rule of Law. I think Mexico is making a mistake here. But perhaps it suits their specific needs.

  • The coastline there is receding, due to isostatic rebound. Actually this is true of most of the north. It's ironic in the context of global warming that sea level rise won't affect the north much as it melts.

  • This sounds like the sort of infrastructure project the Linux Foundation should be supporting.

  • How?

  • It's easy once you realize that it's talking about the river -- the water flows from uphill to downhill. Quebec is downhill of Ontario.

  • Galicia but biggerer.

  • The only way the US ever regresses from its current position is through internal disarray. They cannot be challenged by external forces, not in the foreseeable future anyway. Unfortunately, internal disarray of the magnitude required to effect the changes espoused herein are basically impossible without full scale civil war erupting. And that would be bad or worse. When the medicine is worse than the disease, you accept the disease.

  • I don't understand how authoritarian leaning conservatives and free speech absolutists align most of the time.

  • James Bond death ray time :)

  • This is such an interesting development. I bet a lot of dirty laundry is about to be aired.
