Re: Rights Slipping Away
I can't believe this! The government is getting way outta control. people need to take a stand. It's not about cheap burgers or alchol or smoking, it's about our right to do those things. What if they banned diamonds and flashy cars from rich people because of increased chance of robbery. Or they baneed certain vegitables and replaced them w/ ...

This article is strangely off-focus
Don't get me wrong, this article is well-researched and well-written. But how in the world can the doofus-tool Alberto Gonzales be regarded at the center of these crimes, when what he actually ''did'' was to conceal, obfuscate and carry water for the true evil-doers. It would be interesting to reconstruct the Venn diagram in terms of the ...

of the corrupt, by the corrupt, & for the corrupt
What's this about a representative government? Perhaps 165 tears ago! Since then it's been a corruption by the corrupt, for the most corrupt, and of the richest corruption. Democrat, republican, and independent are sheepskin disguises for the corruptees. The shrub is No. 2 banana. No. 1 banana is busy complaining that he can't hear the ...

Sexual Hypocrisy, Law Enforcement & the InterNET
Thanks for a very interesting and thoughtful article that addressed current events, came up with new approaches, and put it all together neatly in one, entertaining article. My view on those folks who would employ our law enforcement authorities to charge and convict individual InterNET users, is somewhat different. I see these forceful, legal ...

Government abuse of power
South Dakotas law relating to doctor patient communication and abortion: This is just another method for people using and abusing government power. They attempt to control others and legislate morality by forcing their beliefs (usually based on their religion) upon all of society. Their goal is to limit freedom and force conformity with their ...

Re: Who searches for watermelon?
The Watermelon argument is both clever and amusing. But it also only considers one perspective. So frequency doesn't work? Fair enough, but that is not all the data we are capable of gathering. And, when you are going to punish someone in a court of law for something, it needs to be a crime. It seems to me that whether or not the defendant is ...

OR we can make our own!
Proctor and Gambel-- Would it be so hard to accept the study here and find an alternate for the plastic in the beads you use? Is it possible that you have links/deals with a other corporations which profit from plastics manufacturing or oil use and you don't want to consider the alternatives for your profits' sake? How about the European ...

Is the death penalty a promotion of religion?
Many conservatives use the death penalty as some sort of barometer for haw tough a politician may be on the issue of violent crime involving murder. First off, let us examine the issue in depth.
