Except that Ron is not RAND and even then the article you posted said Ron wouldn't support H.Res. 676. What he said was that the civil rights law unconstitutionally expanded federal power, thus reducing liberty. Did you even read it?
How about when he pulls the gun out of the middle of it and hijacks the plane? What if its not cocaine, but anthrax? What if its not cocaine, but a bomb?
Under the Taliban regime, Sharia law was interpreted to forbid a wide variety of previously lawful activities in Afghanistan. One Taliban list of prohibitions included: pork, pig, pig oil, anything made from human hair, satellite dishes, cinematography, and equipment that produces the joy of music, pool tables, chess, masks, alcohol, tapes, computers, VCRs, television, anything that propagates sex and is full of music, wine, lobster, nail polish, firecrackers, statues, sewing catalogs, pictures, Christmas cards. They also got rid of employment, education, and sports for all women, dancing, clapping during sports events, kite flying, and characterizations of living things, no matter if they were drawings, paintings, photographs, stuffed animals, or dolls. Men had to have a fist size beard at the bottom of their chin. Conversely, they had to wear their head hair short. Men had to wear a head covering.
Don't worry, the new cashless system will make those types of transactions much easier for you, it will all be tied into your phone or personal computer, you won't have to carry that nasty germ ridden currency around anymore. The best part is that the local, state, and federal sales tax will be automatically calculated and transferred to the government for you!
Please read up on post normal science. What you are proposing sounds like post normal computer science to me and I seriously doubt it will return the results you desire.
I have similar problems when someone comes into my office and starts asking me questions when I'm in a deep coding session. I see their lips moving and I hear sounds coming out, but it is as if they are speaking a foreign language. I usually have to push my chair back, shake my head, and ask them to repeat themselves.
You know what the public in "public education" refers to right? Even without the Dept of Education, public education will still come from "sugar daddy gummint".
I'd much rather my local government make educational decisions that my federal government, because I have much more influence in my local politicians.
You already pay for it. You already pay for it. You already pay for it.
Do you think think that since someone else pays for it then its not a problem? Why do you believe it is acceptable to waste other people's money for crap that nobody uses, but not yours?
Thanks for all of the polls with the CmdrTaco options.
Thanks for having a thick skin through all of the criticisms.
Thanks for the slashdot effect.
You were instrumental in shaping my early experiences and expectations of the internet.
Thanks for all your hard work.
If you forbid US companies from outsourcing abroad -- they simply take their entire operation abroad, and cease to be US companies.
This may be true now, but it was not true when the whole outsourcing movement started, because the knowledge & skill sets did not exists outside of the industrialized nations. Outsourcing is a loss for countries that actually try to protect their laborers and give them benefits, because there will always be countries that do not care about their laborers that can provide them for less.
Exactly! How dare those damned poor ask for a wage where they can afford rent AND food.
Now they have neither. Raising the standard of living for the local worker without protecting local jobs from the increased cost of doing business has produced a net loss.

There are three things that corrupt a man more than anything else: money, women, and power.
Power is the worst of the three because with it the other two can easily be obtained.

Private purchases do not waive my 4th amendment rights. They don't have to sell me a ticket if I don't agree to be searched but the government doesn't get to automatically step and search me because I want to make a purchase.
Nor do they have the right to tell the airlines to require their customers to give up their 4th amendment rights to do business.

It looks like you are lying.
Can you expound on why you think these ideas are extreme?
Do tell; what, do you think, are his extreme positions?
Imagine what detonating a bomb in a TSA screening line would do to further that cause.
I agree with you 100% and in turn I think the TSA needs to be dissolved.

They are not talking about online chess. They are talking about people cheating during tournaments and such with outside help.

There is a suggestion box in the detention facility.

Because otherwise we will have "Teachers" teaching kids about how Jesus rode around on dinosaurs and how the gays are the products of Satan.
Why do you think the federal government is not capable of this?
Good luck in getting a mule to sprint into combat.

Yeah, these are the same people that gave mortgage backed securities a AAA rating right up until it was blindingly obvious that they were wrong.
That makes their decision all the more troubling. If they are downgrading the U.S. its must be REALLY bad right?
