        the short answer is that if a guardianship petition is filed, the court would appoint a doctor to evaluate her - mr. average Mar 31, 11:31

- People are deluding themselves if they think this will have more than the most marginal impact on energy prices - Reagen Mar 31, 10:28 18
  - low energy prices aren't the main goal here, I think. - znufrii Mar 31, 10:37 3

        Jobs and a stimulated local economy. I don't need to look 100 years down the road. - Dr.Vermin Mar 31, 10:51 8
        
        If you're not taking a long view, then what does the phrase "baby steps" even refer to? -- nm - mara Mar 31, 11:01
        
        How about 5 years down the line? Or 10? The span of your daughter's lifetime? - TWuG Mar 31, 10:55 5
