OT: apostrophe not necessary in SIG. Well, to be clear, with the apostrophe it is not correct English. (I'm seeing Dweezil Zappa perform Apostrophe, Friday night in NYC!)
Burning a flag is the proper method of disposal if the flag touches the ground. I learned this in Boy Scouts years ago; is all America fucking retarded now?
One of Larry Niven's cornerstone pieces is about organ harvesting; it's a very real risk. No, the answer is not to let people rot in the ground, it's to develop nanotechnology so we don't have to die. Coincidentally, we also won't need to harvest organs, voluntary or not. So it's win-win.
The thing that really peeves me about the draft is the "male" filter.
Why? Giving it a few seconds of thought, it seems logical: a single male can impregnate many women in rapid succession, but a single woman requires 9 months to carry a baby to term. So, it would make sense to shelter our women, and allow our men to die.
The whole point of harvesting the organs is to save someone else. Killing the original owner just makes that goal pretty pointless
Yes, if I can save my daughter by killing a stranger then I might. So yes, I would have incentive to commit murder under such a system. Sorry if my daughter's life seems to you pointless.
They certainly wouldn't get away with it
The Chinese government currently does get away with it (Google "Chinese death vans"), so you are quite wrong. And Chinese officials decide which of their family members get the organs.
no one person would get to decide where the organs go
Sure, I'll grant you that "no one person", the Chinese officials are more than one in number, but that's not my point; my point was setting up such a system will have unintended consequences.
My point was, this gives someone (in Logan's Run's case, the government) incentive to murder people in order to harvest their organs. Sorry my compression was too much.
Imagine them doing this to someone functional? "I've done acid before, and although you are all pretty unicorns spinning in circles and such, and I can clearly smell your auras, I must say that I can no longer provide the prepared words to you because I have been drugged. I know the effects of LSD, and I am experiencing them right now, and I did not intend to do this."
"The U.S. is both morally and legally responsible for any harm that the leaks might cause to the individuals [...]"
I wonder if the US will go even farther, and take some of the information in the leaks and make sure some people end up dead, something of a self-fulfilling prophecy?
The why is my comment was somewhat a response to the latest InstallShield newsletter, in which they championed Microsoft's latest decision to remove functionality from their products. Visual Studio Installer is going away (the VDPROJ projects, I presume) and Microsoft is recommending customers to waste even more of their hard-earned R&D funds on installer technology that they used to provide as part of VS. And anyway my company is so small that we don't even use InstallShield properly. But I can't convince management to move to WiX, because "there's no support for it."
"But seriously?" But seriously, I would argue that they're all edge cases; the owner is not allowed on the property without giving 24 hour notice in most cases. But hey, generalize about landlords that you think the government should deprive of resources, and you're cool.

Your background checks aren't in the Constitution either, and go directly against the Second Amendment. But whatever, security and shit.
So what happens at the end of the day, at the end of the day?

Was that a typo, or do people really think that Echelon (or whatever the latest version is called) doesn't scan for both "speech" and "speach"?

Is the judge allowed to use search engines at night while a trial is ongoing?
Jurors are supposed to decide questions of law for themselves. See FIJA.
Does the judge read the news during trials as well?
Makes it real easy to game the system: make breathing a felony, then selectively enforce it. No more need for gerrymandering!

For now.

Have you seen the video? Do you know there were no corporation agents present? Can I ask any more pedantic questions like yours?
I love the similar quote, "Diplomacy is saying 'nice doggy' until you find a rock."
No. He lasted until the end of his term.

DON'T CONFUSE THE GOVERNMENT!

My only hope is that they write about it.
Here's the problem: Logan's Run.
The meat says USDA and the packaging always leaks. Perhaps I use wrong butcher?
