What is an assault weapon? The style of the gun? The style of the stock? The caliber of the gun? How many rounds it holds? This was the problem with the "Assault Weapon Ban", it was all about style points and really had nothing to do with reality. An "Assault Weapon" like an M-1A1 is pretty damned accurate and good for hunting.
Second, "anything that involves killing people should be dealt with by the government." Does that mean I can't defend my home, family or property and I always have to wait for the police? According to the Congress and US Federal Law, everyone between 17 and 45 are in the milita of the United States. What that means in regards to automatic weapons...I'm not sure, I think you could argue about a ban on them since not everyone in the Regular Armed Forces of the United States gets an automatic weapon.
"The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
The classes of the militia are the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia."
"I mean if Timmy is a Meth-head who won't go to jail for Meth now that theres no Drug Laws, can he go buy a full auto M-4 with an M-203 underslung?"
I never in the question said I don't like Meth, or Meth users, nor did I imply anything.
Now then, the "fundamental right" at issue, the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Thats what the Constitution states, but does that mean a citizen gets to have anti-aircraft guns? Anti-tank systems? Does someone who doesn't break the law but breaks social norms with the use of Meth get to own and use anything they want weapon-wise?
If I don't think people should have access to LAW rockets, 23mm anti-aircraft guns or second hand armored fighting vehicles am I implying that people are losing fundamental rights?
I'll say for the second time that you are are either making assumptions or you are reading things I didn't type because in my two posts I never once said I don't like Meth and that I'm not implying a Meth-head should be deprived of rights.
"Sounds like by "refinement" you mean "special ways to stick it to people I don't like."'
Where did I ever say I don't like Meth-heads, private sector sidewalk barons or anyone else? I never said I don't like anyone in my post, you are either making assumptions or you are reading things I didn't type.
"Seriously, if you really think the 'average american' gave a damn about their rights, then why doesn't the Libertarian party get more recognition?"
Because the Libertarians have an aura of wingnut whackjob in general. Not a flame, but the truth. One Libertarian can make a point, two can make an arguement but for crying outloud if you have a bunch of them around it's like Trekkies. I just looked over the platform of the National Libertarian Party, on the surface it seems...alright, but you know about those folks out there that'd have the sidewalks sold off to the private sector.
It's like some of the"Paleo-Conservative" organizations and sites, on the surface it's you can see thier point, but it's not long till someone writes a piece on how Slavery was on it's way out and the Slaves in the South were better off slaves than free.
I own firearms and support the 2nd Amendment however statements like "I don't believe in gun control" seem broad, I mean if Timmy is a Meth-head who won't go to jail for Meth now that theres no Drug Laws, can he go buy a full auto M-4 with an M-203 underslung? Thats the issue I have with the Libertarian Party's platform, it's mighty scarce on details and refinement.
The rise of cancer is likely due to the fact that there are carcinogens in the environment both naturally and because of our lifestyle, there is radiation because of our lifestyle, nuclear arms testing and the environment, and since humans aren't killed by other diseases or accidents, our chances of getting zapped by the radiation, mutations or carcinogens.
Don't forget that in biological processes our bodies create carcinogens.
I don't buy the "there are people who do not want you to find out..." argument since chemicals are known to cause cancer, like Benzine which is common knowledge.
Nope, but since the poster I replied to was talking about his personal belief, I tossed in my personal experiance. I never said my experiance was the end all be all proof of my point.
I had Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia starting in 1980. There is thought to be a viral and a genetic trigger for ALL in-addition to the environmental factors from carcinogens and radiation.
In the years before I got cancer, I was never "overmedicated" or medicated at all for colds or the flu. Since all the OTC and perscription drugs for colds are tested and none of them cause cancer, I think you might be off base.
That's why the Chinese police is killing protestors again? Or maybe the buildup in aviation and naval forces to take Taiwan is part of the "peaceful awakening".
The United States and NATO procure weapons and technologies for the fight 15-25 years in the future. The F-22, F-35, Eurofighter Typhoon, Saab Gripen, ABL and other systems are not to fight this war but the war down the road. The F-15s, F-16s, Jaguars and Tornados are fighting this war just fine.
The United States and NATO really are looking at three or four main threats in the next 25 years, China, North Korea, Iran, and rogue states/breakaway states. As the US grows closer to India, I'm sure at some point down the road Pakistan will be on the list of threats too.
True, but with this there'll be customer service and likely a warrenty package. Scrapping togeather stuff is still scrapping togeather stuff. Although, since alot of agencies have to allow bidding, theres an opportunity there for someone to do this for a lower cost.
Yes, however the fact remains that it's very easy to teach a biological system to do a task. Examples in recent months are the brain cells flying, insects flying a sim, insects learning how to detect chemicals very, very quickly.
Computers flying aircraft is harder, much much harder in the real world so far.
With software, we don't always known what it's going to do, look at the math error that caused the Patriot error at Dharan in 1991, or the fact that they cost the United States alone around 60 billion dollars a year.
Biological systems are going to be more robust and easier to "program" than software/hardware systems simply because all the beta testing has been carried out over hundreds of millions, if not a billion years of evolution. 25,000 neurons which teach themselves through feedback, or insects who can already fly are going to be easier, more robust and cheaper than software/hardware.
Some neurons with 600-1000 million years of beta testing or Some software cooked up over the last 14 years?
I'll bet you the box containing the neurons and all the IO connections and life support would be smaller than the flight control computers for a UCAV, smaller, easier to cool/heat and less likely to have bugs in it and more robust. You lose a CPU or part of a CPU you lose the plane, neurons are redundant and able to find new paths around a bad cell.
I'm from western South Dakota and every little town had a strip. Like the two at Eagle Butte (one of which is my family's), two at Lantry, one at Dupree, etc.
Thats a common belief, but the US Interstate system was being planned during the 1930s, but other capital dam projects tied up men and concreate. Then the Second World War hit and the plan was shelved again.
The Autobahn as a tool of the Blitzkrieg sounds good, but in fact they were thought up in the 1920s in Germany and Switzerland and they were limited in scope even during the build up of the 1930s. The first section from Frankfurt am Main to Darmstadt opening in 1935. This straight section was used for high speed record attempts by the Grand Prix racing teams of Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union. During World War II, the central reservation of some autobahns was paved to allow their conversion into auxiliary airports. However, for the most part, the autobahns were not militarily significant, and most military and economic freight continued to be carried by rail. Thousands of kilometers of autobahns remained unfinished, their construction brought to a halt by 1942 due to the increasing demands of the war effort, as Germany always had manpower issues even with all the slave labor they used.
The interstate system was authorized by the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 and championed by Eisenhower. In 1919 Ike had been involved in a National Defense planning operation to move units across the United States and it took months, similar operations by Patton before the war showed a need for better highway infrasturcture in the US. One potential civil defense use of the Interstate Highway System is for the emergency evacuation of cities in the event of a potential nuclear war.
http://www.tfhrc.gov/pubrds/mayjun00/onemileinfive .htm "I have no idea where the one-out-of-five claim originated. Perhaps it is giving too much credit to whoever originated this "fact" to suggest that it began with a misreading of history. Under a provision of the Defense Highway Act of 1941, the Army Air Force and the Public Roads Administration (PRA), now the Federal Highway Administration, operated a flight strip program. In a 1943 presentation to the American Association of State Highway Officials, Commissioner of Public Roads Thomas H. MacDonald explained how it worked.
"A flight strip consists of one runway, laid down in the direction of the prevailing wind, and a shelter with telephone for the custodians at the site and for itinerant flyers in an emergency. Fuel storage facilities are not provided unless airplanes are based there permanently. Instead, oil companies will keep stocks of aviation gasoline at gas stations along the highway and truck it to the flight strip as it is needed."
The flight strips were designed for easy access to public highways and to provide unmistakable landmarks that could be followed easily by a pilot. Flight strips varied in size. The smallest -- 150 feet (46 meters) wide and 4,000 feet (1,220 meters) long with the length increased by 500 feet (152 meters) for each 1,000 feet (305 meters) of elevation -- were designed for tactical aircraft such as medium bombers. A larger flight strip could accommodate heavy bombers such as the B-17 and B-24, while still larger strips were designed for heavier classes of aircraft.
The benefits weren't expected to be entirely military. As MacDonald explained, "The close coordination of our highways and airways is becoming a vital necessity to assist the economic growth of this country."
In that spirit, Congress considered including a flight strip program in the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1944 -- the law that authorized designation of a "National System of Interstate Highways." However, the 1944 act did not include the flight strip program."
They use those systems because of the tires on the car. It's been common on cars to have governors for years, I think since the mid 80s on GM cars for example.
This system is to implement a dynamic system based on the speed limit where the car is at any given time.
They'll have the court records sealed. Thats how the rich and corporate keep thier failures out of the media. It'll be settled out of court and the court documents will be sealed.
Heck, they might lose and declare a victory like Sidney Blumenthal did in the Drudge case, while paying all of the court costs themselves.
The Home Owner is not responsable for everything that goes on in the home. If Timmy is shooting smack in his bedroom and goes down for it at school because of a drug test or an arrest, Mom and Dad don't do the time.

Webmail blows, its a pain in the butt to deal with attachments and folder management is also a pain in the butt, not to mention the local issue.
I have three email accounts, my Campus mail, home mail and a.mac account I toss out at times. With an email client I can check them all at once. With web mail I can't. I'm no power user, same situation goes for people with a home and work account who aren't power users.

Is it just me or is the Register getting worse by the week with it's "reporting"? I just RTFA and it's terrible writing. I mean, I couldn't hand that in for Freshman English class.

So? Scientific method was in use in ancient Greece, Rome, China and a host of other places centuries before the Theory of Evolution was postulated.
The Edwin Smith Papyrus (circa 1600 BC), an ancient surgical textbook, details the examination, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of numerous ailments. Although the Ebers papyrus (ca 1550 BC) contains incantations and foul applications created to cast out diseased demons and other superstition, there is evidence of traditional empiricism.
I think you are making a Black or White arguement about religion.
One can be religious without faith since a large part of a religion is a social system to which one subscribes, which doesn't have a damned thing to do about Faith.
For example, there are alot of Agnostic Jews in Israel since the Holocaust because they feel that God turned his back on them and so they turn thier back on him. They are still adherants to Judaism, however thier Faith in a higher power is gone. Are they still religious? Yes. Do they have Faith? No.
And the case can be made that anyone in a monogamous relationship, who doesn't murder, etc is following the basic tenents of Judeo-Christian religion, with or without Faith.
As for modern medicine not exsisting without the Theory of Evolution, thats a stretch. All the basics of modern medicine were coming togeather nicely in the late 1700s through 1800s without Theory of Evolution. Chemistry and Anatomy allow modern medicine, not Evolution. My cancer was cured with radiation and poison in measured treatments over four years, not by understanding Evolution.
