    There is already a "War on Nature". It just hasn't been officially declared yet. Also is what Monsanto has achieved with corn and its hardy little evolving pests able to be classified as bio-terrorism yet?

    I post a reply and the very next comment I read is essentially what I posted. The one way aisles is a good one although I suspect some of them become one way automatically when a particularly large heifer gets through.

    I would be posting anonymously too if I was going to claim withdrawal effects from smoking weed. The only sufferers of withdrawal from stopping smoking weed are weak minded, propaganda believing anonymous cowards (or those in the pay of the drug war).

    You should keep those sorts of opinions tight these days. I see forcible reeducation in your future. You need to learn to share, smile, do the carbon-free dance, bond with Gaia, and most importantly give 99% of your money to the unworthy.

  21. Re:Things for which cops usually give warnings on Could Cops Use Google As Pre-Cogs? · · Score: 1

    Having the license plate registered to someone who has ended up on a government watch list could cause police officers to be more likely to write a ticket.

    Actually I can vouch for this. I did something illegal 26 years ago and am pulled over every time a police car gets within range of me. Here in sunny South Australia the cop cars are fitted with scanners that scan all the cars around the cop car and automatically query a database about the possible driver of the car. This happen to me in a car that is registered in my wife's name (who has had no trouble with the law) which means the database contains data about possible drivers not just the owner of the vehicle. If you see this sort of stuff being proposed by lawmakers in your area then you have to fight it. And yes, they give me tickets for anything they can, search the car without warrants, attempts to start physical altercations, and all the other good stuff law enforcers can do to someone they are out to harass.

    If the person really were planning a crime would you be expecting them to confess to some cop at their door that they really do plan to kill someone and that they are 100% serious about it? I know a lot of people are very stupid, but that's a suicidal level of stupidity.
