Because this idiot:

sourceInstead of court martialing him they decided to court marshall the ship's  Captain McVay.

About 900 men, survivors of the initial torpedo attack, were left drifting in groups in the expanse of the Pacific Ocean. And beneath the waves, another danger was lurking. Drawn by the carnage of the sinking, hundreds of sharks from miles around headed towards the survivors."We were sunk at midnight, I saw one the first morning after daylight. They were big. Some of them I swear were 15ft long," remembers Cox. "They were continually there, mostly feeding off the dead bodies. Thank goodness, there were lots of dead people floating in the area."But soon they came for the living, too."We were losing three or four each night and day," says Cox. "You were constantly in fear because you'd see 'em all the time. Every few minutes you'd see their fins - a dozen to two dozen fins in the water."They would come up and bump you. I was bumped a few times - you never know when they are going to attack you."Some of the men would pound the water, kick and yell when the sharks attacked. Most decided that sticking together in a group was their best defence. But with each attack, the clouds of blood in the water, the screaming, the splashing, more sharks would come. In that clear water you could see the sharks circling. Then every now and then, like lightning, one would come straight up and take a sailor and take him straight down. One came up and took the sailor next to me. It was just somebody screaming, yelling or getting bit."

I misread it, thought it was $450 each.  Under $20 is very reasonable.  I don't know about the cancellations. I had some problems when I cancelled one of them, but it got resolved after a few weeks and lots of complaining on my part.  I don't like the ones with contracts or hidden sign up fees.  World Gym was like that. They advertised $14/month with no contract and locked in for life, but they don't mention the $249 signup charge.

To add comments on the four points first1. Legs are the largest muscle group in the body (unless you're one of those chicken leg dudes at the gym who can bench 350 but can barely squat 150).  Working out legs enhances muscle growth throughout the whole body.  When I started to seriously do legs, I gained overall size everywhere else.2. Still not totally onboard with this.  Even if you are targetting a specific muscle group (bench press, lats) you are always getting a secondary group in there. I target arms only one day/week but when I do back I'm still targettting arms...sometimes even more.  I think Crossfit is the best for this compound stuff.  Just wish it wasn't so expensive.3.  I've done one muscle group a week for a while now.  Seems to be very effective. However, see my #2 comments above.  I try to go a couple days in between arm and back day for this reason.4. The most important thing! Especially as you age.  With protein or other supplements, yes you can get quick results. But with a proper diet, although the results are not felt immediately, overall it is much much better. 5.  ATTITUDE AND COMMITMENT. You don't go to the gym when you have time, you MAKE time for it. Go to the gym even if you don't feel like it.  Still feeling all crappy?  Then take a couple of days or even a week off, but be careful that doesn't turn into a year.  If you can't motivate yourself, then find a workout partner or go the same time each day if possible so you'll see the same group of people.  This summer I was feeling very bored with the gym and would plateau using my age as an excuse to not get better.  Started working out with this young dude a few months ago. He was new at it, so I pushed him (it also helped that he was motivated). Didn't think he'd push me as well but I'm lifting as much as I was before I gave in to the age excuse, plus I am setting more personal bests than I ever have (and I can do one arm pullups now!).  It adds friendly competition, makes it a lot more fun, and you gain a new friend. (although I don't know how long this "friendly competition" is going to last seeing that he's considerably younger, has made some remarkeable progress, and is getting stronger by the week...I can outbench him now, but ask again in a month or two)

  I have yet to assess the implications of such loss of privacy, but it seems like such a large step beyond anything we've seen in the past that the effects cannot be good.

Yes, but in the past we didn't have texting, email, facebook, twitter, youtube, etc., etc. 

Then don't give the government all these opportunities to invade privacy. A good way to avert these concerns is to probably start acting like humans again. You know...like talking to each other.I'm not that worried about some photo of me with a bong will show up anywhere because that was way back in the late 70's.  There would have to be someone who kept an actual hard copy photo. Nowadays, I would worry more about it with all the cell phones around and the fact that it can be uploaded to any social media pretty much instantaneously.

To play Devil's advocate. Isn't it international law about banning chemical weapons?  It wasn't the US only who made the law.  So if this is about the use of CW, then we should go to the UN not for permission but to demand a coalition so we don't do it alone.Now of Syria was an actually threat to our own national security, which it isn't, then the heck with the UN.

The hypocrisy of all this is simply remarkeable.  What I do like seeing though is even Obama's most ardent Progressive supporters are furious about this (according to comments left by them on articles).
