That sounds very logical, and well stated, but the over all gist of it is unfortunately incorrect. Your entire basis is on the claim that the common man is too stupid to understand the complexities of modern society and politics. The truth is rather than they have been told that there is no need to learn it, although they could if they tried. They have also been purposefully lied to and abused by the political leaders so that rather than the average citizen delegating more duty to the government, the government simply assumes control. I don't believe that society is such much more complex than in the past that peoples brain's are exploding. I still have faith in the potential of the average person to learn a vast amount more than they currently do. Its just a matter of them actively choosing not to and being told that they don't need to. Sports, movies, fashion etc all take up too much of their time that could and should be spent in more constructive pursuits. Pork barrels and earmarks also aren't the result of amateur politicians messing around with something they don't understand. They are the result of professional politicians knowing that they can get away with it because people have become accustomed to it.
Ummm, right wingers aren't any more over it than left, and I have never heard any "right-winger" claim that it was obama's fault. In fact, beck has even gone out of his way to expressly state that he doesn't blame obama for it. The idea behind a TSA isn't bad, its the execution and the continiously expanding sphere of influence that is.
Lots of state and national parks have fees for camping and hiking. They are also supported by state and federal taxes. Your comparison doesn't hold up.
Actually it sounded more as if they contained it at the property line and there isn't anything i saw to support your claim that the neighbor had any damage. It is in effect a strawman.
If they were balking at the 75 price do you really think that they could come up with 11 grand? Think about who lives in rural Tennessee and burn rubbish in their backyard. Its not about their willingness to pay whatever it cost. Its about their ability to do so.
Do you rally think there would have been a difference if the firemen had given him a $100k bill on the spot? In theory that works but in reality the check would bounce and the firemen would be coming up short again.
Every housing unit is located exactly for the Census. This was done last year via GPS handhelds to create maps for the actual enumeration that was done recently. The problem is that because of the time delay between the mapping and census, it was cheaper to destroy all the computer equipment and do the census by paper than to recommission all the electronics that were used previously. The information showing the location of housing units can then used for a lot of purposes, for example, where do you think Google gets its information showing where 123 Fake St is? Tying the occupant information to the location is a no no though.
Device with large multi-touchscreen can be used as a large multi-touchscreen! How about we just gut it and use the screen as a sensor? I know it would leave Apple out, but I'm okay with that.
Lol, the guy you responded to was talking about violence in general. You are the one that changed the subject to homicide, as it seems to suit your own argument.
You're an idiot. The weapons used in the drug wars (fully automatic, grenades, and rpgs) are illegal here to. They aren't brought from here, but the money to pay for them is.
Considering that it passed, how is that supposed to be reassuring? If a botched bill the staff messed up came up to vote on, that's one thing. To approve of it is another. We are supposed to be happy Congress voted to pass a new law they didn't even read the title of?

And technology never improves efficiency or performance from older methodologies...
Almost, but its not white anymore.
Who cares about how loud it is on its own. What is important is how quiet they were able to drop it down to.
Side note, I wonder when the last time they paid the fee was.

I was a supervisor on a couple operations. I didn't work on the mapping but I got a buddy who did. Might have been a regional thing though.

Yes they did.

And homicide is the only expression of violence? Overall violent crime is much higher in the UK, even with their cameras everywhere.
Of course they were passed in an attempt to reduce crime. They just instead aggravated the problem.
The facts would seem to disagree, just like it does with most progressive nonsense. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/7922755/England-has-worse-crime-rate-than-the-US-says-Civitas-study.html
I have the T91MT and love it. I hate it when people ask if its an iPad.
The iron maiden is also a unique experience.

Whose tongue in whose cheek?
Its even easier to ignore them.
If only there was a President who would make such promises...
