    Electronic Burglary. What's it all about? Is it good, or is it whack?

      Of all the (probably) automated first post scripts, this must be the most boring one.

      Here's a good suggestion:
      Slashdot should automatically grab the text of the linked site, and use the contents as a first post. That way, we'll maybe save some poor soul's bandwidth as well as we get rid of the lame fp kiddies.

    Note that an anonymous coward posted this joke prior to paren't post, yet parent received a +1 funny, and the a/c hasn't received moderation. a/c should have +1 funny, and this should be marked redundant.

    KTHXBYE.

    If you're going to make inane comments, please do so as an anonymous coward. Your shame rubs off on the rest of us registered users.

    Nixon: Oh no? Well listen here missy. Computers may be twice as fast as they were in 1973. But your average voter is as drunk and stupid as ever. The only one whose changed is me. I've become bitter and lets face it, crazy over the years. And when I'm swept into office, I'll sell our childrens organs to zoos for meat, and I'll go into peoples houses at night and wreck up the place! MWUHAHAHAHAH!

    That newsmax article is absurd. The writing is horrible, the quotes are unattributed, and the analysis is the definition of bias.

    Since the ideology of Circuit and Supreme Court justices very often determines where government will obtrude in our lives for the next decade or three, battles for judicial supremacy are fought long and hard in the legislative trenches. But I still don't see how the government limiting my choice of sex partner is any less radical than the belief that somebody who has less than I do deserves some of what I have!
