Overnight Open Thread (7-11-2013)Well since it's Sharknado night and I've been reliably informed that no one reads the links anyway, I'm gonna give you what you crave - nothing. This impulse toward the state as über-parent is based on a profound fallacy and a profound truth. The fallacy is that anyone can care about someone else's children as much as his own. The former Texas Republican senator Phil Gramm liked to illustrate the hollowness of professions to the contrary with a story. He told a woman, "My educational policies are based on the fact that I care more about my children than you do." She said, "No, you don't." Gramm replied, "Okay: What are their names?" Simply put, the purpose of child support is to replace marriage. Discussing how it should be implemented is discussing how to replace marriage. Some might argue that this is a good thing, either as a rare exception (say for a husband who abandons his family) or as a rule (as practiced in the western world). But this doesn't change the fact that child support is working exactly as designed, and exactly as should be expected. Child support crowds out marriage, and even in cases where weddings still technically occur the option for the wife to unilaterally convert the family from a marriage based family to a child support based family always exists. This is part of the threatpoint designed to empower wives and dis-empower husbands. Men simply don't have the option to choose the marriage based model over the child support model. Okay I lied but one of these days.... How to Get the IRS To Ignore Your Fraud Act like an illegal, get a fake tax ID and scam away. Because the shadows and stuff. "We were being told by upper management to ignore fraud, to assign ITIN numbers and . pay out refunds to people who are lying," Howard explained. "It's a license to steal when you allow that." Childbirth in Canada vs. the US In Canada it's free but you get what you pay for. "You get what you pay for," says Bryant. "There's this shame we're supposed to feel for being . rich, but that's not fair, is it? I wasn't born rich. I worked really hard. You should be able to buy what you want with your money." After peak beef back in 1977 chicken has slowly become the new king meat. How Long Copyright Terms Make Art Disappear Which is why Amazon offers 13 times as many new books from 1910 as from 1950. Do Not Go Gently Into That Pig Roast Pulling off a decent pig roast is a non-trivial exercise. In college I helped out with a few in-ground pig roasts and you definitely want a team of guys working with you. But it was worth it. The whole saga taught me several important lessons, first among them: The modern oven is an amazingly powerful and hugely convenient innovation, and should be cast aside only with abundant caution. It might sound fun to erect a big metal box in your backyard for the purposes of cooking a very large assemblage of meat, but you're basically reinventing the wheel, and badly. And don't think the alternative approach of burying the pig with coals will do you any better; though that ancient practice has the virtue of simplicity and smoky tastes, digging deep into the Earth will be harder than you imagine. One Wired colleague regaled me with a pig roast tale that ended with him acquiring a backhoe. The Float Fucker Strikes Again Actually I'd say that average Barbie is the hawter one. Yahoo group.
