Let me explain to you how American electoral politics works. If you vote either Democrat or Republican, you're voting for the same party. They both have the same agenda, to make the rich richer.
There is no two party system in America. There are two branches of the same party. There is no choice to make, except whether you wish to validate this system by your participation.
If you're going to get fucked either way, you might as well register a protest vote. Vote third party or stay home. Voting for either D or R doesn't help anyone except the super rich.
Double Jeopardy does not apply because of a different jurisdiction.
Funny, I don't see that exception in the Constitution anywhere. This is what we traditionally call an "end run around the Constitution". Legalistic bullshit used to cover up a blatant violation of the highest law of the land. It's indefensible and you should be ashamed of your self for trying.
He should have kept his definition to just risk management - "ain't broke don't fix it".
That's not conservativism. Conservativism is if it ain't broke, break it. If it is broke sabotage the guys trying to fix it. E.g., financial regulation. Conservatives repealed the Glass-Steagal act, and conservative opposition lead to the gutting of the Dodd-Frank act.
It's a good reason why anyone who wants honesty from their politicians should not vote for Barack Obama. Any vote for either Democrats or Republicans hurts America.
But they haven't made it too risky to try. Guess what happens if you get caught walking through a TSA checkpoint with a box cutter. Worst case scenario, you miss your flight and you can try again later.
Besides, even if the TSA were 100% effective, terrorism is so rare that it would still be a cost ineffective way to save lives.
Personally, I'd refuse to take a job that required air travel. No salary is worth that. I will flip burgers for a living before I step foot on a plane ever again. Not one penny of mine will ever go to the scum who run the airlines. I hope they all die in some sort of fiery explosion.
According to one report, undercover TSA agents testing security at a Newark airport terminal on one day in 2006 found that TSA screeners failed to detect concealed bombs and guns 20 out of 22 times. A 2007 government audit leaked to USA Today revealed that undercover agents were successful slipping simulated explosives and bomb parts through Los Angeles's LAX airport in 50 out of 70 attempts, and at Chicago's O'Hare airport agents made 75 attempts and succeeded in getting through undetected 45 times.
Is it a good thing to do a good job at violating people's privacy? The cashier at walmart at least provides a public service. A TSA agent has no legitimate reason to exist.
I swore off air travel before the rape scans were ever considered. Being treated worse than cattle by the airlines was enough for me. There is absolutely nothing that could ever happen that would get me on an airplane again. The airlines can fuck off and die as far as I'm concerned.
The petition failed to gain enough signatures because everyone knows that they won't get a real response from the administration. Case in point, there was a petition that got 75,000 signatures (3 times the threshold) where the President was asked to explain why Cannabis should not be regulated by alcohol. The response was written by the Drug Czar, and failed to mention alcohol once.
This was the great hope for change we elected in 2008. This was what was supposed to be the most transparent administration in history. And he can't even answer a simple question about his policies honestly.
Conservatism, at its heart, is really about risk management.
Yeah, they sure managed the hell out of the risks of invading Iraq and completely unregulated credit default swaps. Conservativism is not about risk management, but fear management. Keep people afraid of something else and they'll let you rob them blind.

That ended with Leopard, which ran like a dog on older PPC hardware.
It's kind of a wash. If you have the RAM, Leopard is faster. If you don't, Tiger is faster.
So no Native American ever had a thoroughly fulfilled life before Columbus arrived?
XP did have an awful Fischer Price UI. It gets disabled on every machine I log into.

You're not kidding. Remember this? That was written before the TSA even existed, and it's only gotten worse since then.
Nope. I am not independently wealthy, and I live up to my ideals just fine. You can live a thoroughly fulfilled life without boarding a plane.

Under 40, fresh on the market, and apparently gainfully employed enough to afford air fare. You shouldn't have any trouble.
Does anyone have a comment on the substance of my post, or just the accidentally misused preposition?

Then where are the "real" conservatives?
Take a boat.
I would like to see some evidence that the TSA is doing a horrible job
Easily done.

No True Scotsman.

No it doesn't. I have no account with Google and I read the article just fine.

The best explosion is at 6:20.
So you're well aware of the problems caused by bad cops, and you want to give them more power?
Me, I'd rather, if possible, play the system as it really is and die a free man of old age.
The way things are going there won't be any free men left in NYC, if there are even any now.
Um, vim? Vim has Unicode(multibyte) and SSH(netrw), and keeps everything in ~/.vim. Am I missing something?
