He would have died counting his sheep if Uncle Sam did not finance and support Israel's reign of terror in the Middle East since its creation, or if Palestine was created and structured as a state at the same time, with equal opportunity to its people. But, as in all your other answers, you'll choose to ignore what I am saying.
I really wish the world was as fischer - price / tinker toy simple as you imagine it to be. Live a few more decades, read the news and lots more history and perhaps you will lose your "peace at any cost" mentality.
I found this slightly offensive.
I am not a kid whom you can treat with such condencendence.
I am a 35yo, father of one, street-savvy person.
I know what is to live in other countries, and I know too what is to live in a ghetto (Brazilian favelas).
But ask Bush's puppy TB if he is happy now. Or his other puppy Aznar, that was ditched after the Madrid bombings. Maybe it's the plan... Can USofAns ditch Bush after the next (they will happen, you know?) big USofAn bombings?

"whether or not that's true"... take my word for it, it's true;
"it has no bearing on what I said"... you said originally, and I quote, "any wood you buy at the store was almost certainly cut *ages* ago": unless your "ages" are shorter than mine (and it seems that they are, see below), this is wrong, and if you buy hardwood you are most certainly collaborating to the destruction of rainforests here and in Africa, because you are generating demand for those illegal products.
"what I said was almost purely sarcasm"... which part? about *ages*? in this case, you would be partially correct; I did not see the sarcasm.
My point? Don't buy hardwood unless you know for *sure* that it was grown and harvested sustainably.
A lot of hardwood you buy at a store is smuggled out of Brasil or some country in Africa. Wood-smuggling gang lords of the Amazonic rain forest are more violent than their recreational drug counterparts (one of them was known to chop his enemies in pieces with a chainsaw... personally)

Don't forget that a lot of tree species *need* the fire to reproduce correctly. So, there is an amount of "clearing land by burning" that is actually sustainable.
I worked for a firm that serviced a high school. This (privately-owned) high school had an access control system based on those biometric devices that measure your hand and fingers. Their problem was that the students' hand measurements varied wildly in the course of the year... To solve it I made the access control program, from time to time (once a week IIRC), to substitute the reference measurements for the last-good measurement. This way, gradual changes were incorporated to the database, well, gradually....
I have once worked for a firm that serviced a (privately-owned) high school where the primary mean of identification (for entering the premises, for instance) was that hand-measurement biometric tool. They had a serious problem because, well, between 13 and 18 the kids hands measurements varied wildly. They solved it by overlapping after confirmation the reference measurement data with the last measured data. This way, if the (natural) variation was below the "this is a different person" parameter, there is no cumulative variation (and they expected their students to show up at least once a month:)

I see you have good intentions, but you are not thinking straight.
Suppose your brother took half a beer, and was in perfect conditions to drive. The breathalizer gave him 0.18. Bam! He goes to jail. His lawyer says: I want the State to prove that the breathalizer test is conclusive. The state says: I can't prove it. Your brother goes free.
Now suppose your brother took two gallons of beer. The rest of the story does not change, because the state do not have any other way to prove he was not in conditions to drive. Now, morally, your brother could confess or otherwise waive his right to a defense, but it's *his* moral problem.
When society interferes with the defense rights of people, you know what happens? A lot more innocent people end up in jail, and *not* a lot more guilty people end up in jail. And *that* is why the innocent-until-proven-guilty (beyond reasonable doubt) principle is so important.

Neither you nor the parent poster stay around kids very much, it seems.
I have a 6yo boy. He knows every detail of every film he sees. He knows which Teen Titans has which superpowers and weeknesses. He knows what a clone is. He knows what DNA is, even if he does not grasp the size of atoms and molecules yet. His thing is dinosaurs, and when he was three he already knew the difference between stegossaurus and triceratops etc. His favorite TV shows are "Wicked Science" and "Strange Days at Blake Holsey High", for the last 2 years.
Down here DUI is an offense punishable with 2 years of hard jail. How would you feel if your brother was jailed for two years for driving after taking half a can of beer and driving?

That DRM does not work. I mean, mathematically, cryptographically, does not work. So, even /. should get over it.
