    "The average professional in this country wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes home, eats dinner, and then goes to sleep, unaware that he or she has likely committed several federal crimes that day. Why? The answer lies in the very nature of modern federal criminal laws, which have exploded in number but also become impossibly broad and vague. In Three Felonies a Day, Harvey A. Silverglate reveals how federal criminal laws have become dangerously disconnected from the English common law tradition and how prosecutors can pin arguable federal crimes on any one of us, for even the most seemingly innocuous behavior."

    Some bizarre version of Phil Dick, Orwell, Terry Gilliam and Mat Groening.

    If William Gibson had imagined anything like "The Kardashians" in Count Zero? It would have seemed over-the-top.

    Now, we have the dystopian technologies, without the advances in immersive entertainment that these were supposed to come with.

    The US Dept of State is a reliable authority of unbiased information and analysis? Christ! You would have made a great Soviet.

    Then there's the entirely discredited IAEA citing. This was shredded. Another sad, neocon fairytale, like Condoleeza's "Smoking Gun in the form of a Mushroom Cloud". Oh. She represents an example of State Dept. accuracy and lack of bias, herself.

    Unbelievable, fabricated distortions about "nano-diamonds"

    Why do you witchhunt Iran, when the US is the evil regime that kills children with airborne shrapnel, on an almost daily basis?

    Undeniably imagine that that you stated. Your favourite justification appeared to be at the net the simplest factor to keep in mind of.

    Persians first calculated the volume of the earth, as a sphere. Invented spherical trigonometry, and all kinds of things.

    Remember all that "Arab scientists and mathematicians" kind of talk? None of 'em were arabs. Mostly Persians, with roots in Khorasan - writing in Arabic.

    It's similar to calling Sir Issac Newton a "Latin Physicist" because of the language used in the "Principia".
