Not really...architects are trained in three-dimensional relationships, graphic designers are trained in two-dimensional layouts...similar, but not the same. There are graphic designers who do great architectural work and architects who do really great graphic design. One big difference, graphic designers have more experience with typography, and print technology...architects have a structural understanding of building materials. Again, there are exceptions.

Correct. However, we also have laws and regulation as part of the social contract, but, those laws and regulations attendant to that contract must be enforced, and THAT, is what is not being done. Our lawmakers have seen to it that their funding for election to office is greased by corporate interests represented by lobbyist contribution...and of course lobbying, the right to petition our government IS in the constitution...and that is why corporations are a identified as a legal personality, an individual. So no matter how mega huge and monopolistic the corporation is...it has the same status as a much smaller lobbyist...say, your local library.

It's a start.

A group or an account may be very important to individuals who have tacitly agreed to accepting placement of their name in the group as a member, or in error in a previous account, and committed themselves professionally to a representation regarding their professions, from which they earn income. If a bogus group, for instance, misleads future members/friends exists and includes an inadvertent error - and is the result of misleading, complex, and confusing instructions by the provider setting up an account, for instance, the future possible removal of the account/group, in this case Facebook - in the U.S....tort prevails.

All the oil is BP's..even the bits recovered and future recovered, If they seal the well, the potential revenue it contains and their investment will be lost, and, they will be fined for the amount of oil leaked into the Gulf, therefore, BP wants to disperse the oil making measurement of the actual amount leaked difficult and if they know, unavailable. The well could have been sealed shortly after it began leaking with explosives and concrete and rock encasement...but, BP has no incentive to do this. At least that's how I have surmised how it is going down from various reports.

Nowhere in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 is there a season to lie...

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and a time to sow; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war; and a time of peace.
