A. Lincoln set the precedent (shamelessly and enthusiastically cited over and over by G.W. Bush) that a wartime President can pretty much ignore Congress and the law in order to provide for the the national defense. No president before or since has had the guts to jail American citizens by the hundreds with no charges, no access to lawyers, and no seeing the light of day. Habeas corpus? Lincoln had a war to manage, a rebellion where friend and enemy looked awfully similar, and he wasn't about to let a little thing like the law make the Union any less safe. After Lincoln, presidents sort of let Congress take the lead, and not much happened until my man Teddy Roosevelt came along. TR believed that the ability of the president to appeal directly… [cont.]

Is expanded health insurance coverage the answer to the health care issue in our country?
Q. I've seen some of the proposals by the presidential candidates advocating expanded health insurance coverage. Is this subsidizing health insurance companies? Are companies that are in business for a profit the best means for health care?
Asked by El Duderino - Tue Aug 14 12:21:22 2007 - Politics - 7 Answers - Comments

A. Just expanding the system is not the answer as the system is bloated and inefficient. We need to have more efficient choices in our health care. There was a system which I saw proposed in California where smaller clinics would be opened up in strip malls and community centers. Staffed by Nurse practitioners and Physicians assistants and working in consort with doctors, they would be allowed to take care of simple illnesses and injuries that clog the emergency rooms now. The cost savings alone would more than make up for the initial cash outlay to start the clinics up.

How and why slavery expanded in the southern states after the mid- 1790s?
Q. Essentially, the Civil War can be seen as a sectional battle over the issue of slavery. There were, however, several other issues of division between North and South. So what are some examples of how and why slavery expanded in the southern states after the mid- 1790s.
Asked by Jameela - Thu Jun 25 22:28:50 2009 - History - 3 Answers - Comments

A. Slavery seemed to be on the decline around the 1790s. Plantation owners did not see much point in keeping slaves--it was becoming much less profitable as paying for a slave was not matching up to the inefficiency of the process of cotton picking. However, it was in the 1790s that Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin, which had a profound effect on cotton production. Suddenly slavery was profitable, and in fact only more slaves were needed on plantations.

Does the weight of the person affect the amount of power expanded?
Q. Most exercise machines display the calories burnt based on the weight of the person. Does the weight of the person affect the amount of power expanded? How?
Asked by DaL - Mon May 25 21:14:38 2009 - Physics - 1 Answers - Comments

A. There are two reasons why the weight would make a difference. First, exercise involves moving the body - running or skipping rope or walking involves lifting the body again and again, and so of course, when the body is heavier, you do more work. But even exercises involving just the abdomen or arms involve lifting a part of the body again and again. And so again, you are doing more work. But also, a larger or heavier person will often (not always!) have larger muscles, and the work of contracting larger muscles also takes more energy.

Asked by Emperor_johnUk - Wed Jul 7 14:51:29 2010 - Physics - 5 Answers - Comments

A. I think this questioner shows insight and imagination, and is not afraid to challenge the accepted view. What a brilliant idea! Yes, a BEC is something akin to a singularity, but without all the difficult infinities. All of the information of the particles is there, but hidden in potentiality. A perfect BEC could be imagined for the entire universe; why not? There is no limit on the number of particles that can be incorporated into a BEC. Suppose it could contain just ONE out of the 10^63 (or whatever) particles that did not quite fit with the others... Hmmm... this is getting like a Biblical story! This little particle would act like the Great Divider (Satan) in splitting up the harmonious whole. Fascinating, he says, with one eyebrow… [cont.]

Asked by I need answers - Wed Dec 9 10:38:00 2009 - Physics - 2 Answers - Comments

A. You have the cosmologists in a bind with this question. There is no physical answer for it. There are two MAJOR factors that need to be considered. First, is: where did the mass/energy come from. Any form of speculation is just that. When considering mass, a person has to take into account that by some means there was a great mass of energy/mass in a single location - what is a single location when considering eternity past, and unlimited distance within eternity? How is "something" formed of unlimited time and space? In this condition there is zero entropy. By "some means" energy/mass must be compressed in order that upon release, the energy/mass begins unwinding at a particular value consistent with the entirety, this… [cont.]
