The Catholic Church is very reluctant to declare things to be relics and the like without good reason.

Remember when the right had William F Buckley and George Will as thought leaders? The good old days.

And there are a whole spectrum of people that don't understand it at all but believe in leaving people alone to do their own thing and be happy in their own way.

Sending your kid to middle school with an O'Douls in the lunchbox is an underrated move.

Do you honestly believe that can work right now? It will turn into civil war. I'm trying to be realistic about what might be achieved, not what I would want in an ideal world.

Fine. You make a solution that doesn't start with "murder all the Jews". Developing nearby land so that Gazans have good jobs and good homes seems like a reasonable thing to me.

Displacement, especially voluntarily into a place with economic opportunity is a far cry from genocide. You can't equate the two.

Israel would need to make a big investment in desalinization to make this remotely feasible.

I wonder if to some extent Israel can throw money at that problem. The right trade, economic development, etc. Israel is relatively rich, and has the influence to get more money and tech from the US and Western Europe. Can some of the empty desert of the Sinai be turned into farms and villages?

I have no idea for an immediate solution to the proximite problem. I'm thinking about something that could be implemented over decades and provide a solution to the underlying problems.

I don't have a good solution. My best idea is to have Israel fund the construction of new settlements in the Egyptian Sinai so that the density of Gaza can be reduced and the Gazans have more economic opportunities.

I have to imagine that the Palestinians in the West Bank - who rejected Hamas and opted to work for peace - are particularly torn. Love and empathy to them.

I hate the lack of documentation for mid tier usage. Everything is either for a complete noob or someone well versed in the nuances. I'm a very experienced Java and Ruby programmer who can't find docs on JavaScript that help me adapt my knowledge.

I bet the e-commerce is huge but low margin. They might even be running at break even in order to drive growth. Cloud Services - especially advanced platforms like redshift database - can be high margin.

There are a range of health care systems that save significant money that aren't single payer. We should look closely at Germany's system. It is a private insurance system that is efficient, and fees are capped as a percent of income.

Brilliant and accurate. "King of the Hill" is about Mike Judge's admiration for his father, warts and all. In the end Hank is always concerned with being good and decent above ideology, even when the world changes in ways he doesn't understand.

Maybe they can smuggle water and electricity instead of rockets and guns?
