I think so. The US has hundreds of Coke flavors.

In Atlanta there is a museum of coke. At the end there is a room full of fountain machines that dispense different coca-cola products from around the world. They give you a cup and you can drink for as long as you like, or until you succumb to diabetes.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

On a hunch, I just checked out the annual attendance figures for the coke museum and MLK Center.

coke museum: more than a million a year
MLK Center: a million a year

Interesting. Rouhani was meant to be doing a live speech and Town Hall on Iranian TV tonight. Apparently it just didn't happen. Now Rouhani's publicly saying the (hard-line) head of state TV pulled the plug.
Let's bomb Russia!

Italy - the country that gave you criminal prosecutions for errant seismologists - is now plumbing new depths of legal inanity.  The state auditor is suing the rating agencies for a 2011 debt downgrade, on the grounds that the agencies failed to take into account Italy's cultural legacy of art, music and beautiful landscapes when assessing credit-worthiness.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Are they putting up art work as collateral?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

So there are more uninsured people in places where there are more people.
