The first quote is out of context, and the second quote is Jobs quoting Picasso.
It comes down to trying to expose yourself to the best things that humans have done, and then try to bring those things in to what you're doing. I mean, Picasso had a saying; he said, 'Good artists copy; great artists steal.' And we have, you know, always been shameless about stealing great ideas. And I think part of what made the Macintosh great was that the people working on it were musicians and poets and artists and zoologists and historians who also happened to be the best computer scientists in the world."
He's saying what we all know, creativity does not occur in a vacuum. But note specifically that he does not talk about stealing the ideas of other computer manufacturers. He's talking about taking ideas from music, poetry and art to make a better computer.
Gibson is accused of importing wood that is, by law, banned from import. The wood that was allegedly illegally imported was seized as evidence. This isn't the car used to transport drugs being seized, this is the drugs themselves.
Normally it would be returned if it was found not to violate the law. But this brings up a different subject from forfeiture, in that often the government doesn't like to give back what is siezed. It is very common in gun seizures, where the government admits the person committed no crime, doesn't claim the guns are subject to forfeiture laws, but simply refuses to release them back to the owner.
Somes they're true, sometimes they're not. Sometimes they're just too broad, sometimes they twist things a little far in over the top rhetoric.
Civil rights activists as terrorists? Probably not true. Other liberal activists as terrorists? Definitely. The environmental and animal rights movements are notorious for terrorist-like activities.
Liberals as socialists? Maybe a bit broad, but a large swath of the modern liberal movement includes major elements of socialism.
Atheists as heathens? I consider that a compliment.
Women who get abortions as murderers? Factually correct most of the time, ending another's life not out of self-defense. But way over the top rhetoric in any case.
Tea Party and their supporters advocate terrorizing those they disagree with
The TEA Party has never advocated terrorism. Of course, it appears you consider criticism to be terrorism if done against your side. Grow a thicker skin.
They obey it exactly when it suits them, and decry it whenever it does not.
Ain't that the truth. Unfunded mandates? Respect state sovereignty! People want to grow pot in their back yards? Federal supremacy! But the liberals do the same thing, just on different issues.
If a business doesn't immediately concede to terms favorable to the union that basically guarantee unionization, the union will unleash an extortion package to pressure the company into caving. This includes stuff all the way up to flooding an emergency room with fake patients in order to hinder operations, and having their friends in government put pressure on the business.
Gore? No way in hell. He revealed that he didn't give a damn about our privacy or civil liberties when he tried to get our personal crypto under government control. Mr. "Earth in the Balance" we need population control who has four kids? An elitist "do what I say, not as I do" type if I've ever seen one.
Then it was Bush vs. Kerry. Yeah, right.
Bush was a big disappointment from a conservative point of view. Fiscal responsibility (not even counting Iraq/Afghanistan), illegal immigration, expanding federal government, further encroachment on state sovereignty, medicare drug program, Patriot Act, and so on, massive failure across the board.
However, you are correct about Fox News leaning heavily to the right. Concurrently, the other networks lean heavily to the left.
This means the other networks tried to ignore the TEA Party movement, hoping it would just go away. Since it aligned ideologically with Fox News, they were the only ones to put it on national news initially, until it became too big for the other networks to ignore (or, rather, until they figured out an angle they could use to discredit it).
I have heard complaints from some TSA agents who signed up initially, before groping was standard, back when Penn was able to get the police involved when he was groped*. The generally say "I didn't sign up for this" but in this job market they can't afford to quit.
* This is all his fault. Not long afterwards, they changed the policy to allow groping.
Be cleaning the 12-gauge when the daughter happens to bring him over to meet. Only he says he honestly did it accidentally, had just returned from shooting skeet and she didn't tell him she was bringing the boyfriend over.
Seriously though, I'll try to be nicer. And at least for my oldest rely on the fact that she herself could probably kick his ass if necessary.
But all boyfriends will know dad is lurking in the background.
Who has kids and who doesn't. Your creative turn of phrase definitely shows.
I had no idea I could ever be this protective. Touch my girl, you die. Simple, isn't it?
I'm going to need to learn to tone it down a bit before they start dating. Other parents may not like their sons threatened with a 12-gauge when they haven't even done anything.
I understand we pair up females to search females, males to search males, to eliminate a sexual element from the search. But this is a bit offensive, completely ignoring the fact we have homosexuals in our society.
So it's possible our little smurf joined the TSA because she's lesbian and wanted to be able to legally grope women. Same would apply for a gay male TSA agent.
And is there any consideration made for the gay male who would be feel sexually assaulted if searched by a man, but not by a woman? Or vice-versa? Shouldn't we have lesbian women searching gay men? How do any gays here feel about that?
But if you allow for that, wouldn't most guys claim they're gay at security in order to get felt-up by a woman? We now need certification of sexual orientation.
They sell Android phones, usually a few each from a couple different Android manufacturers. And it is all of those manufacturers, with phones from free to top-end, that have the highest mobile handset marketshare.
But if a mobile provider wants ONE phone they know will sell like hotcakes, it's the iPhone. If Samsung, HTC, Motorola, Sony and LG each sell one smart phone, Apple sells two iPhones.
Over the night, at another address most of the day, all we have to do is look up who lives at that night address, maybe see if he works at that day address. Now we know everywhere he's been.
Now say it often goes from day address to another address for an hour, then to night address. Gym? Girlfriend? Mistress?
Norway wasn't going to prosecute DVD Jon, but we (at the bidding of the MAFIAA) pressured them to do so, then to appeal his exoneration.
I like that my country is powerful and influential, but our influence shouldn't extend to interfering with the internal justice systems of foreign countries.
Rules and law said we needed a signature to send a transcript to anything besides a university. This was in the early 90s. We got a call from someone who needed one sent to a prospective employer that day, emergency. He had no fax around, mail wouldn't work fast enough, but we both had email.
We had him write a signature with his mouse in Paint, copy/paste that into a Word document containing his request, and email that to us.
The signature was a bunch of squiggles, but it sufficed and he got his transcript. We got a nice thank you letter along with the payment (transcript fee plus rush fee plus express mail fee, it wasn't cheap).

They're just debating the legality of the wood itself. They also haven't begun forfeiture procedings. They're holding it for evidence.

It's about taxes, government finances.
In fact, they've been criticized by religious conservatives for not using their high profile status to push a religious agenda.

I have a feeling they don't take kindly to killing TSA agents.
Plus they've probably legally defined TSA sexual assault as not sexual assault.
I have heard complaints from some TSA agents who signed up initially, before groping was standard, back when Penn was able to get the police involved when he was groped*. The generally say "I didn't sign up for this" but in this job market they can't afford to quit.

He was a Libyan citizen who had worked to overthrow his government. We caught him and gave him back to his government.

her private parts without explicit consent and complete freedom to decline without repraisal is sexual assault.
And that person will be physically injured by me unless he or she is lucky enough to have the cops get there first.

I am driving to Canada and catching a flight from there. Within the country, I'm driving.
I have daughters, and I don't think I'll be able to sit by and watch while they're sexually assaulted. Daddy would be going to jail.
