I generally do not like the idea of trophy hunting, but in some states excess game can be donated to any meat processor, who will process and package it for donation to those having problems putting food on the table. I believe Texas has such a program, but I don't know if this place is involved in it.

Yes, there *was* a program for hunters to donate their game to feed the hungry. The ever-helpful government stepped in and ended that.

The homeless shelter providing the venison-including meals does not receive any government assistance or taxpayer money. It is self-sufficient.

There are new laws & regulations being passed/implemented by those in government across the US aimed at halting private citizens, churches, etc from feeding the hungry:

There's much more.

With the US middle class disappearing and poverty, homelessness, and hunger skyrocketing, it seems like the government (both (R) and (D)) wants to play "Hunger Games" and use starvation as a tool of control.

I'm certainly reassured that government bureaucrats and politicians being in charge of everyones' health care will be a good thing.

For the bureaucrats and politicians.

1) Think about this for a second. If you want to commit a felony, would you rather commit the felony in person where you can be caught, or would you rather commit it anonymously via absentee ballot?

For example, the special election of Bill Stinson in 1993 in PA was overturned because the election was stolen...with absentee ballots.

2a) You know that "free" ID you were supposed to get? Take PA, where the law was passed in the past seven months (March 2012). That "free" photo ID did not exist until late August! Up until then, they were requiring everyone to get the standard photo ID - the one that costs money and requires a higher burden of proof. Imagine your surprise when you go to PennDOT and try to get your "free" photo ID, after you manage to get a ride there (did you know that something like six counties in PA have no PennDOT facility, and another 13-ish counties have one facility open one day a week?)...only to discover that you actually do need to pay for your ID.

2b) What you need an ID for in modern society is a red herring when it comes to voting. Almost 20% of the registered voters in Philadelphia do not have a state-issued ID! Regardless of this fact, how do you define a "significant" amount of people without ID? If this law ends up preventing more legitimate votes than preventing fraudulent votes, is that significant enough for you?

3) I think you're mistaken when you think "no one" is trying to prevent real people from voting. You know that firm that the Republicans are disowning lately, Strategic Allied Consulting? The owner back in 2004 was caught throwing away registrations from voters who registered Democrat. The GOP knows that in-person voter ID is practically nonexistent, and that elections are really stolen with absentee ballots or just by manipulating the voting machines, like these eight people in Clay County, Kentucky, including a judge.

Voter fraud is real, but in-person voter fraud is very rare (see 1 for why). So if the GOP is really interested in honest elections, why are they focusing on the rarest form of fraud? None of these ID laws would stop any of the documented instances of voter fraud that I have mentioned in this post - at least one of which resulted in an actual stolen election.

You can search youtube to see cases of fake drug dogs. A K9 handler in Nevada is also filing a lawsuit against the state alleging that not only do they use fake drug dogs to perform illegal searches but that there's a company in CA that sells just such a product.

Read that to see what kind of slime are hired by police departments. It will blow your mind.

My first thought was that he had a yen for things that even a VP salary doesn't support (like the gambling habit of a certain former Fry's executive). Or a serious coke habit, maybe. But that doesn't seem to be the case here, at least not according to the reporting so far.

Let's face it, the .com domain registry is in the US and the the US does have jurisdiction by the logical extension to the Internet of old case law.

US servers are being told to resolve domains.

Courts, prosecutors, the Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security (and other things) being able to arbitrarily seize domains IS the problem.

The only purpose for seizure as it was intended to be used when restrictions on search and seizure were added to the Constitution was to gather and preserve evidence.

That is its only LEGITIMATE purpose still, unless someone has been convicted of a crime and it is part of their sentence or to stop a terrorist attack.

And if they don't have the Department of Homeland Security STOP worrying about bullshit and just deal with actual homeland security, I'm afraid another 9/11 is extremely likely. Having them involved in the War on Drugs and the War on Piracy and the War on Gambling is going to make us lose the War on Terror (the only one WORTH fighting).

And FreeNet is easy to take down.

Try, convict and then sentence node owners to 20 years in prison. The rest will shut themselves down.

You don't even need to convict people. Here in Las Vegas, someone was accused (not even yet tried) of possessing child pornography. Rather than try the alleged pervert, they assigned him a cellmate in the Clark County Detention Center (*) who was an accused murderer of a child (killing his own nephew!), who, get this, ended up killing (BEAT and STABBED to death) the alleged pervert. Imagine that.

That was a hit.

So now people know that just being accused can result in an indirect death sentence. Even those innocent could die.

And guess what one running a FreeNet node could be accused of trafficing in? They could be set up with bogus/planted evidence, arrested, set up in prison and brutally killed with in a week! No need for a trial where someone could be found not guilty.

Talk about a chilling effect!

(*) This jail is way out of control. Maybe not as bad as Rikers Island in NYC, but close! Some years back they put someone accused of marijuana possession in with hardened criminals and he got raped in the shower. I don't think that was an accident.

Sam Donaldson of Stop Prison Rape (now Just Detention International) was set up in the DC jail to get raped - read the story. (**)

"In 1997, Robert was arrested for possession of marijuana and taken to the Clark County detention center in Las Vegas where three men raped him in the shower. Now, 18 months out of prison, he is still trying to come to terms with the experience."

Guess they taught him a lesson for daring to possess the "evil reefer"!

Conversely, when a 3-year-old gets kidnapped at gunpoint and there's a credible risk that she'll be taken out of the country, no alert is issued: http://www.8newsnow.com/story/14603345/3-year-old-kidnapped-from-foster-home

"Guns are for self defence" is pure myth. Actually it's worse than that, it's idiocy.

Says the idiot?

Many, many examples of citizens carrying guns as being a plus
to the overburdened police department.
