The psychology behind somebody becoming "radicalized" is simpler than Ms. Napolitano believes. Subject an individual to sufficient levels of economic deprivation, social rejection, and/or government tyranny and he starts to think that violence is a reasonable option.
Instead of castigating individuals for driving cars, they should be campaigning to clamp down on industry and business, since they do the real polluting. But corporations can afford to bribe politicians, and individuals can't, so the soi-disant progressives go after individuals.
The last time my wife pissed me off by playing the driver's ed instructor, I just pulled over, pulled the keys out of the ignition, and dropped them in her lap. I then got out of the car, walked over to her side, and opened the door for her like a gentleman.
If you want it done your way, do it yourself. Life isn't Burger King.
The computer is a handy distraction for my wife, who would otherwise criticize my abilities as a driver despite not having a license herself. If she can instead distract herself with a game and let me drive in peace, then having an in-dash computer is better for my marriage.
The computer isn't going to distract itself by dicking around with its phone, blackberry, makeup, or -- as I saw this morning on my way to work -- a Nintendo fucking DS.
You really shouldn't swing a Louisville Slugger in an enclosed space like an airplane, since you might hit somebody other than your target or the plane itself. Instead, grasp the handle with one hand, use your other hand to grasp the middle of the bat, and then thrust the business end of the bat into the terrorist's face.
Public policy is supposed to be a check on that, but the first line of defense consists of decision-makers in business remembering back to some very basic lessons they were taught in the home and in kindergarten; the "sharing is good" and "be nice to others who aren't like you" kind.
The decision makers in the tech business learned different lessons in kindergarten, such as "look out for yourself because nobody else gives a damn" and "you can't please anybody no matter how hard you try, so please yourself and let everybody else be damned". Such an upbringing explains why Ayn Rand remains in print.
...if you really think I'm a potential threat, then arrest me. If you want to treat me like a criminal, then stop doing a half-assed job of it and violating my Fourth and Ninth Amendment rights in the process.
The sooner this sort of autopilot technology is refined and made standard equipment, the happier I'll be. I fucking hate driving, and would love to just put the car on autopilot, reach down between my legs, ease the seat back, and take a nap.
Having played and beaten Demon's Souls a few times, I have to say that every time I died, it was my own damn fault. My mistakes were usually one of the following:
I didn't study the enemy's pattern carefully enough.
I allowed my character to be surrounded.
I fought too aggressively, and let a hole in my defense.
Why are Americans so obsessed with the Constitution.
It's the closest thing to a social contract between individuals and government that we have in the United States. It basically says that we the people delegate a certain set of powers to the Federal government to better secure our liberty, peace, and prosperity. Unfortunately, the Federal government has a nasty habit of overstepping its bounds.
you're a democracy
No, the United States is not a democracy. It used to be a republic in which some of its officials (members of the House of Representatives) were elected by the subset of the American people who had the right to vote. Now it is an oligarchy that puts on a charade every couple of years and has the temerity to call it an "election".

Fear isn't a new religion. It's the oldest religion. When one boogeyman grows old and dies, a new one is found.

Many women think men have to be controlled. Then again, many men think that men have to be controlled.
I slept better on the couch, since she tends to hog the blankets.

...but I like being married, and not being in jail for being a fucking wife-beater.

just pay attention to the road, and drive?
The computer is a handy distraction for my wife, who would otherwise criticize my abilities as a driver despite not having a license herself. If she can instead distract herself with a game and let me drive in peace, then having an in-dash computer is better for my marriage.
Don't you just love US foreign policy?
I love it so much that whenever I pay attention to US foreign or domestic policy, I find myself asking, "What would Hugo Stiglitz do?"
If you can identify a journalist by his camera, it's easier to target journalists when you want to keep "bad news" from leaving the country.
They did it because they can, and because nobody will punish them for their temerity with a bullet in the head.
Your dog also licks peanut butter off your mother's vulva.
Can anybody say that about their dog?

Heavy-caliber weapons should be find as long as they're loaded with frangible rounds.
Put a crapper and a mini-galley inside the cockpit.

But why should we save them when they stand for nothing? If they deserve life let them stand for themselves!

I already did, and I have to admit that connecting Rapture to the net was a bitch.

Disgaea doesn't avoid the cliches, it lampoons the fuck out of them. Disgaea is the Spaceballs of tartical RPGs.
