  1. Re:So what? on VA Supreme Court: Michael Mann Needn't Turn Over All His Email · · Score: 1

    Because delays in the case have delayed the start of Discovery. Interestingly, Mann has asked the court to exempt him from discovery. He thinks that only he should be able to ask questions and not anyone else.

    All the guns in the world will do you no good if you can't motivate the people using them.

    People are motivated, by and large, through the use of words.

    Crazed men write books, publish propaganda, give speeches that convince millions to murder others with guns, gas, whatever.

    I guess the millions killed with Zyklon B would disagree.

    I also guess you have never heard of the term, "inciting a riot".

    You say that it would take guns to achieve this. Well, these guns were in the hands of the State, precisely the ones you insist should only have access to guns. And you cannot deny that it was the writings and rhetoric that fueled the Nazi's rise to power and that is was the propaganda and incitement that enabled the murder of millions. Joseph Goebbels would have been hanged for his use of words.

    So the words of a man had a much deadlier affect than any one loon with a gun at an elementary school.

    Looking at History, Words are responsible for far more deaths than are guns: Mein Kampf, Mao's little red book, etc.

    A crazed man with a gun can kill tens of people. Crazed men with a books have killed millions.

    Yeah...I'm not buying that. not questioning you, but I don't buy the cost of bandwidth.

    I would expect that if Netflix can deliver the content to Comcast's network at X speed, regardless of how many carriers it goes through once it leaves Netflix's servers, then Comcast has an obligation to deliver that content to me at the speed that I pay for.

    If Comcast can't handle legions of its customers using the bandwidth they pay for, then they have an infrastructure problem. It seems they are like the airlines, over booking and hoping people don't show up.

    1. I Pay Comcast for internet access at X speed.

    Simply compare the policy initiates advocated by the AGW camp with those advocated by the radical environmentalists and other "Green" parties.

    You will see they are mostly aligned.

    Is the way it should be. No one should have to pay for your runny nose or whatever. Set aside the money like any normal and prudent person would do and use it for that. If the SHTF, the catastrophic insurance has you covered.

    People will pay $60 to get their hair done once a month but think paying $60 for an office visit is robbery. Crazy. Have your hair dresser prescribe the antibiotics then.
