Re. The Probability Broach , why not just let people sign up for anyone they want to represent them, and change their mind up until the final vote is cast?
Another problem is the number of states. When there were 13 getting or failing to get 2/3 of the state legislatures to agree on something was doable. With 50 there is essentially no chance of getting an amendment via state referendum. We need to combine our states into 14-20 super-states, who can internally decide how to represent their citizens to the federal government.
Now double click doesn't work for selecting things or opening them. I can right click for selections, then pick open. #@$%$. It was working just fine before, but some stupid SOB decided he could change my defaults to something he considered "better". Yea, been here before, so I know that I can eventually dig down into some obscure menu and put it back as it was, but why the fuck should I have to. I don't go around changing other peoples computer setting, why does the Ubuntu team feel they have that privilege. Fuckum, I'll go Gentoo. Well, maybe Cent.
Would you allow the state to punish someone in your name if you felt he didn't deserve punishment, or is violating a law always grounds to punish? Consider that some day it might be you in the defendants chair.
I find it hard to believe that slashdot has not published anything that is tombeard classified. What is the possibility that redit reposts do not contain tombeard-classified information?
So, assault and fraud (of various degree) would be the only recognized crime?. How could we possibly run the world on such a moral system? We would have to dig up Lysander Spooner and make him king. He would, of course, decline the office.
I doubt they would end up trying him. Just like the gitmo captive that died last week, with legal indefinite detention and government sanctioned torture why go to the expense and potential embarrassment?
Well, I'm sure after as much "time for reflection" necessary has been allowed, Bradley will certainly remember whatever is required for his conviction.

And that the republican will give him another cookie.

And in any event, they are free to subpoena the other end of the email conversation.

So why did they switch them without my asking?

So put on your nerd hats and figure out a way to detect these personae.
We are working on that wall in the south. Give us time.

And by what basis can we assert that our laws apply to anyone other then out citizens? I have heard the assertion, but not the basis.
My kingdom for a mod (up) point!

Their best idea was succession. You know how the US government dealt with that.
Oops. Thought I was replying to mug funky. What I said, up one.
Should you?
So it is acceptable to act immorally? Is slavery freedom? Are lies truth? We could power the world with an Orwell generator!
Freedom is not synonymous with safety. In fact, freedom is risky, dangerous, and essential.
Since the Kennedy assassination, every US President knows what happens if he opposes the CIA war machine.
We have not been at war since 1945. Anything excused as a "war power" since then is completely bogus.
Wikileaks could publish the key to the insurance file before the bill was signed into law. Do you think that is what they want?
I think you mean 12 April 1861.
