It's actually a normal sized gavel and she has a persecution complex about her height. She joined the Republican party so she could hurt others life she's been hurt

Being unjustly confined in a prison is still a direct contributing cause to a stroke or pulmonary embolism. There's a reason they still make folks in solitary in the US do "yard time."

What's the point in burying the fact that he didn't have ID. You could argue they carded you because you were black but not refused service.

That has to do with the fact that the entire American chicken industry is exploitative to the people raising the chickens as well as the chickens. Since the factory is both the hatchery and the processing plant, the farmers never even own the chickens. They're more like babysitting them by taking out a loan from the bank. They get squeezed, default, and somebody else comes along to keep it up. Reasonably this sort of business practice should be outlawed as anti-competitive.

I just noticed he said I robot was dystopian. Asimov was absolutely Utopian and so were the stories in that book. I wouldn't call the movie a faithful adaptation.

What you're describing has historically happened actually, but only in situations of the little people vs the banks. In the end, if the federal government feels authorized to seize your property, it will do so and shoot you if you get in the way.

Coffee actually is an effective medication for my depression. It has similar effects to buproprion on me (which is a amphetamine replacement class drug, though not an amphetamine itself), but to a lesser degree. This is good, because bupropion causes me to have tachycardia and hypomania. This is independent to any addiction, since I've gone years without having any. That there are tolerance levels to it, like any drug, doesn't mean it's not an effective self medication for some folks. And that correlation has been proven in scientific studies.

Babylon 5 was almost a Manichaeist religious allegory. Of course so was DS9.
