How is it ethical to pass your debt service (that largely covers the cost of compensation to your public servants) down to another generation?

No one wants to pay for this. Not us, not them, so kicking it to unseen people with no voice makes a certain amount of sense if you abandon ethics, but I see it as a form of child abuse.

How software in the USA is coping with marriage equality (or not)

It sounds great and defensible until you remember that they HAD to know there was a 50% chance they'd be dealing with this as soon as the Supreme Court took the case... several months ago.

Heck, they must have known this was coming down the pike sooner or later, even before this particular case. If they'd gotten off their butts and fixed the programming then, they wouldn't be in this position now. I'd like to call it laziness, but more likely it was head-in-the-sand-edness.

That whole Name Problem has been going on for many years. The Nielson Hadens (no hyphen) are much more recent (though more "Important", because they're White) than the Standing Bear or Five Fingers or Buffalo Head families Somhow, people manage to survive despite all that Paperwork bullshit.

Aargh! Make that "Six Fingers family". Senility strikes again.

There was a sudden change in the coverage (that I see) of the Greek mess a week or so ago.
Until then, it was a cacophony about the incredibly irresponsible and slovenly Greeks. Not a whisper of a peep about who actually lent money or who would be collecting the gigantic payments or where the profits went.
Suddenly, the banks are being covered, and their behavior and demands are a subject. better late than never

Yup, I've been seeing a lot more stuff like this in the past few days:
