2006's Bill of Wrongs
Jamie continued the never ending flow of year-end recap stories, this one is the Bill of Wrongs which lists the 10 most outrageous civil liberties violations of the year, according to Slate. Several of these aren't news to Slashdot readers, but it's still worth a read.
This is exactly what I have been trying to tell people.
Trans-fats are not good for the consumer in any way, they are good for the fast food corporations and as we all know they won't stop selling a product that kills there patrons slowly unless the state forces them to do so.
Stop listening to the fast food propaganda and for that matter take a step back to really see what you are defending.
I don't give a damn for a man that can only spell a word one way.

I find it interesting that we executed Sadaam (and yes, it was as much USA as Iraq). Personally, I would rather die quickly via hanging than to remain in a small prison cell like Rudolph Hess did.
In fact, I find the whole concept of the death penalty as it happens in the USA about the stupidest thing there is. We say that it will stop ppl from committing crimes, yet it make very easy and not so scary (a "humane" way of doing so), we do not publish it, and then expect that it will influence criminals to stop their behavior. Whatever idiot that came up with this logic should be shot.
I prefer the "u" in honour as it seems to be missing these days.
