Maybe not chairs, but that does sound like an allergic reaction. You have trouble breathing, you maybe go to hospital.

And... maybe. Maybe. Just raises the bar higher, I guess.
... though I'm now kinda' idly wondering what cloth infused with eau du tea smells like. Most teas smell pretty good.

Just to doublecheck here, do you really not know why government subsidized student loans exist (i.e. why the taxpayers want to pay for them/government is "in the student-loans industry"), or are you just playing devil's advocate/pushing your own opinion?
If it's the latter you'd save me a more detailed response... and it's not exactly rocket science why we're doing it, so not having a reason to expend the effort would be nice.

Yeah, s'what I meant. Less powerful government system... could (likely would, considering how much oomph th'corps have already) mean the big businesses would just kinda' do their thing and no one could really do anything about it.
It'd depend on just how small you're talking about, obviously, but the thought that less regulatory force would ipso facto mean less abuse is... well, it's a little silly. It'd probably mean less governmental abuse, sure, but that's only part of the problem as is, yeah. Though it would most likely reduce governmental corruption, sure -- the money thumpers just wouldn't need 'em anymore.
There's a balance somewhere, hopefully. The ideal as I understand it is to fix the specific problems (oversized/undersized organizations, excessive or insufficient regulatory power, etc., etc.) and let the overall power(/size) adjust itself consequently.

*scratches head vaguely* So, uh. Size of government doesn't actually matter in the case at hand, getting it to enforce regulations is the issue? That'd be a problem regardless as to th'size of government, especially with the amount of weight the big companies can throw around nowadays.
... which is to say that stuff like ACTA's not really a symptom of the "disease of big government", it's a symptom of corruption that's going to have to be dealt with regardless of the size of government. Separate, though related, issues yanno'.

i.e. cut out the middleman and let big business run roughshod over everything without even the facsimile of a buffer? Or is there something better planned than that involved?

Other Games / Re: Are there any PC games that are in the style of Zelda games?
« on: February 20, 2012, 05:22:58 pm »
Might check this out. A little shorter than most zelda games and possibly a bit less in depth, but it's fairly decent. Fairly close in style, gameplay wise, to Link to the Past. It's also freeware, so yeah.
If you're willing to dip into emulators, you might check out the old sega genesis games Beyond Oasis(/Story of Thor) and Crusaders of Centy.
Quick E: I'm actually quite sure there's a fair amount more, as I know I've played some others in the older Zelda style, but those are the ones I'm remembering off the top of my head.

Anyway, re: Saturn emulators, check out Yabause and Satourne. Those and SSF are the ones I've got stuck in the saturn folder I haven't deleted, so one of them probably functions
E:S-tHA confirmed working with latest SSF I've got (11 alpha 12 or something like that).

Yeah, there'd be downsides. I can seperate the sad of no video games from the happy of hung hydroponic'd live spam peddlers.
