This has been happening for thousands of years. Archeologists have seen evidence of brain surgery in Eygption tombs, including healing scars on some of the treated. Debatable evidence exists that similar work was done prior to that, specfically by Cro-Magnon. Also, given the surgical prowess of the Middle Eastern countries between 1000BC and 1000AD, I wouldn't be shocked if such surgery was practised. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they discovered and used anasthesia, and did have specific maladies that required this treatment.

I tried it and it works fine. I'm using version 1.1.2, and when my singleton entered the shopping area the game told me it read my party as level 52. And the guy tried to sell me a sword.

You mentioned " the oppressive weight of their quivering white corpulent flesh ."

A 1979 Chevy Impala.

Try not to hurt anyone. The tank I referenced above will keep you safe, and after 5-7 years of experience you might try something a little sportier.

Someone has maintained too firm of a grip on their sanity.

Edit - while pointing out the availability of urbandictionary.com is helpful, it may be even more helpful to explain that Electric Light Orchestra was a musical group from the 70's and early 80's.

Another sign of the Apocolypse.

Drew and myself have found agreement.

Still waiting for the kid to show, but it looks like Famine, War, Pestilence, and now Death are present and accounted for.

Several of the historical fictions I've read this summer describe the use of laudanum as something that eases general discomfort. That ranged from seasickness to bruised knees to hangovers. I'm not sure it was as misguided as the Tuskagee study, since a derivitive is used today, but then again I've been feeling fairly contrary lately.

If you treat this group as a society, rather than some isolated bunch of yokels, they seemed to have solved the problem themselves. They have authorities, judges, executioners, and presumably teachers, coopers, masons, etc. Our society is the one that believes murder is a crime, not their society. Treat other societies with respect, not condemnation.
Ancient Rome was rife with behaviors that today we consider to be immoral or amoral, yet it was the accepted norm of the time and place. It tends to be the citizens in a society that call "time out" when morals begin to move, and if I was one of the 190 individuals that submit to the 10 authority figures, I might have some questions. But given my answers in the $1 thread, I would likely leave well enough alone. Death is part of life, and we all get to experience it some day.

I guess it's not about the money for me. A buck? That'll buy you a small cup of coffee. It's about the depopulation of the planet. I'm amazed that so many feel they have the ability to play god and chose the dead. What if you pick someone that was 25 years away from curing herpes? or Aids? or SARS? or the next Van Gogh?

I'm far more comfortable with a million people in America dropping dead all of a sudden. Yeah, I know it could be a loved one, but that could happen anyways. That's life. Can't be bothered to look it up, but with almost 300 million in this country, a million probably die and more are born every year. It's not that big of a number.

If the money bugs you, don't use it. Most states have this wonderful ability to claim abandoned property as their own.

I'm not so sure that the founding fathers meant relief from natural disasters within the domestic tranquility clause. I read that as the responsibility to maintain interstate harmony. How have the courts interpreted it?
If you had instead emboldened the general Welfare phrase, I think you make a better case. I admit the welfare of the the affected states has trended downwards over the past week, but my initial statements on self-sufficency and self reliance still stand.

Crime is a word that means society has deemed something is offlimits. If that fictional world has not decided that causing death is a wrong or offlimits, then it is not a crime. My understanding of the USA is that intentional acts that result in anothers death are criminal except when acting in self-preservation. For some odd reason, that loophole doesn't exist when the dead person is a law enforcement officer.

As an example, if a toddler knocks into the ironing board while mom/dad is bent down picking up the shirt and the iron falls and kills said parent, the toddler has not committed a crime. Also, if someone breaks into your car while you are in traffic, and you shoot them, you are not guilty of a crime.

Interesting yet insignificant results so far, with most people refusing to have unknown people benefit from greed. Although, I'm not sure greed plays a true role in this question. I went with 0/1,000,000+ since I believe that while the world is overpopulated, I'm not willing to take on the role of Death. I would be interested in understanding more the people who voted to select 100,000+ people for death, yet were unwilling to accept random deaths. That puzzles and scares me.

Seen it with my own two eyes, and I'm not urban. It is even codified into the USDA and refered to as CAFO. Confined animal feeding operation. The dairies I've been to are smaller, with fewer than 500 cows, and seemed pretty bad by my standards. The industrial dairy farms are worse.

You are hunting for the meat, right? Because, otherwise you fall into that category of person which glorifies in the ability to kill other creatures. I hunt for food, shoot at crows in the garden, and eat/bury anything I hit. That includes people FYI.

Shooting anything for the pure joy of killing is more than slightly scary to me, and I revel in animal blood.

Can't see as how I said those things, more that people shouldn't expect the bailout. If one person on the block knows how to procur food and water, they should be working hard to keep fellow residents in food and water.

As far as disasters, I've not been in one of that magnitude, because I've not been in a hurricane. I'll list 'em for you.
1 - Blizzard of '78 Coastal Massachusetts- 4 day blizzard knocked out power and left >4' of snow, combined with gale force winds and high tides that caused flooding in parts of my hometown.
2 - The Perfect Storm Coastal Maine - 2 days spent without heat or power, assisted with clearing downed trees and transporting stranded people out of low areas.
3 - Flood of '96 NW Oregon - 8 days spent without power or roads or access out of town due to roadslides and flooding.
4 - Blizzard of '97 Coastal Massachusetts- 5' of snow, no power/telephone for 3 days.

Maybe I'm a disaster magnet.

I may have been reading the wrong book, but where does it say that "in case of major natural disaster, act like a cry baby if the federal government acts out of character and speedily delivers every human comfort to any corner of the country?"

Have we as humans forgotten how to be self-sufficient? Why are the people in N.O. complaining and not doing? No food? Go break into a grocery (if you can find one that doesn't already have an open door) and take some canned goods. Then eat. No water? Build a fire and boil some water for drinking. I recommend letting it cool a bit before drinking.

The government isn't the answer to the problems of the country, it is only a reflection of the answer. The real answer happens from all the people in the country acting and doing certain things. This disaster may mean that most people need a bigger government in order to live. That is pitiful.

I've lived through some pretty good disasters, and never once have I or my family asked for or recieved help from the federal government. In fact, we usually start the process of getting help to others that truly need it. That is what made America a great nation. This whining and "why me"ing just turns my stomach.

Last Thursday I was horrified to see gas at 2.89 a gallon in the morning. I drove back through town 8 hours later to refill, and it was 2.98/gal. It hasn't gone down though, and I need to buy gas again. I recommended to the station manager that he hire a mortgage officer to share his office space. Home equity line of credit for gas costs...

On another note, I heard a rumor that one or more states has rescinded gas taxes for the short term in order to keep the economy going. Anyone know anything more on that? I know I would stockpile gas if the price dropped 60 cents.

Why not? The only thing keeping me from shooting people is my desire to stay out of prison. You remember the insane traffic on the Sunset Highway as you drove from Portland to the coast? Try doing that in rush hour, after having to change because you spilled coffee on yourself while calming the raging dogs, so now you're late.

It's the fear of prison that keeps me from reaching for the pistol. That, and with only five rounds I would need to reload while driving, which I believe would make me an unsafe gun owner.
