Has the IAEA ever entered into an inspection and verification agreement with any other country previously where the country inspected itself?

B-But then they'd have . . . nothing. Hahahahahahaha . . . sweet!

No matter the acronym of choice, what is the solution to replacing coal for energy? What is it? Will this be in place and running efficiently by fall 2015? How much is this going to cost each consumer, not just the "rich" ones?

I thought the Earth was entering a cooling phase?

Not sure whats come over Matthews, but I liked it. And of course she couldn't give an answer on the difference....they're the same thing with different banners. Camaro vs Firebird lol.

They might not need one in CA. It wouldn't surprise me.

"The Earth could be headed for a 'mini ice age' researchers have warned.

A new study claims to have cracked predicting solar cycles - and says that between 2020 and 2030 solar cycles will cancel each other out.

This, they say, will lead to a phenomenon known as the 'Maunder minimum' - which has previously been known as a mini ice age when it hit between 1646 and 1715, even causing London's River Thames to freeze over."

So what happened to Global Warming going to kill us off? Yes there is climate change, some man made but the rest.

Should the government end the marriage thing as we know it?
No, keep it as an option for all citizens. As has been pointed out elsewhere, laws have been written that apply only to married people, the two examples that immediately come to mind is a spouse not being forced into testifying against the other spouse and rights to SS payments.

Should we go to contractual agreements only- without the current "default" we have now?
Same as above. How would one contract for SS payments or claim the right to not testify? I don't think it can be done. You don't get to write your own laws without going through the appropriate legislature.

As for people living in polygamous communes, go ahead. Just don't expect to have rights such as child support, alimony payments, and whatever other rights there are to marriage and its subsequent dissolution. In the common vernacular, you're shaking up. It's an informal thing that might involve contracts but usually doesn't.
