My first reaction was, "So, someone else has just learned the level of contempt the Executive branch has for us all; and I do mean All." Chainey, Bush, and McCain are really, really trying hard to make this Conservative Republican to vote Democrat in November.
I do not see a problem with listening in on the conversations, and videos of the "Ruling Block". Who knows, the entertainment of listening, and watching what these power brokers do could be Verrrrrrrry enlightening.
Verizon, a known "Trampler" of American rights appears to own the D.A.'s office in New York. Personally, how did the FBI ever do their job if it wasn't for the fine and wonderful "parents" that Verizon wants to become? Because, Win, Lose, or Draw; This Vigilantism is now attacking the most fundamental right of the First Amendment.
The Pentagon's "non-lethal weapons division" wants to have a "Kill" switch installed in a commercial aircraft? Maybe they should go look at a place were a commercial aircraft landed because its engines were turned off? I honestly do not know of any pilot that would take off in an aircraft that could just "stop" without the PIC, (Pilot In Charge for the unwashed), initiating it. If a boat stops, it does not explode. Really, if these career military minded nut jobs want to stop an aircraft traveling in excess of 200kph, then maybe they should first install an âoeAnti-Gravityâ device in the aircraft. I know how foolish it sounds, but at least we won't have to deal with the carnage of 200+ mangled bodies scattered all around a small impact crater.
There is a way to do what the Pentagon wants, just reconfigure the aircrafts Navigation system, and maybe, if it is safe, to start remote dumping the fuel. But there are damn few places a commercial aircraft can land safely, other than at an airport.
Oh, and tell the PIC with the loaded gun to their head, something he, or she wants to hear.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press;..."
I am not a lawyer, but if the Defendant was selling the stuff, was it with the permission of the copyright holder? and did the Defendant have a business license? Other than that, which part of the First Amendment did the Defendant ignore? And the Judge for that matter? It also sounds like the Cruelty part was with a "happy camper?"
There were two things about the demo that stood out as an "Ah-ha!", to me. The front man was using a screen recorder with audio attached to show how a product worked. This technique could be modified to teach a lesson that is taught in school. Kids that miss a day because of some other activity scheduling could get the lesson on their time, not class time. Then another "Ah-ha!" happened. This could be bundled with open source products to show how the product is envisioned to work. One of greatest short comings of software in general is its learning curve. This concept could lower the learning curve Geometrically.
when it comes to answering the question of, "where does the Buyer come from?", about 90% of the time, it is from a Buyer's Agent. Agents,(good ones), keep track of their clients that are looking for a certain type of home; It varies a lot. The Buyer's Agent looks on the 'net, newspapers, and the various MLS's, and other Sellers(the kind that do not list). About 9 times out of 10, the deal will die for one reason or another. In order to be a good Buyer's Agent, one has to spend 2 to 4 hours a day looking at homes for sale. Not all homes are cleaned equally; At $4.25 it is even more expensive looking at homes for sale. A common misconception is that for every sales lead, there is a sale; I wish. Many, many times, the deal just doesn't happen. Next are the Loan packages, I spend anywhere from 1 to 2 hours a day reviewing interest rates, and program details. It is common to take the required training classes in order to service the loan, talk about time sinks. This just the tip of the ice berg when it comes to hours put on the job. I do not know about other agents, I guess they married rich. With prices of advertising, fees, I am hearing that 7% is starting happen more and more.
I RTFA, maybe in 2005 when the prices of homes were going up, and up. One could name any price for a home and negotiate for a higher price. The Buyers these days look like a pack of wolves staring at a wounded deer. Sellers think they can get 2005 prices or better. I tell people that this is bad time to invest in Real Estate, but it could be a good Economic reaction to their own needs. But this is just about finding a home. There is the paper work, and the negotiations, and the trust, but verification process. And I have yet to come across a Buyer that couldn't use my help. And that includes Real Estate buyers them selves. The amounts of money Buyers can save just by having a disinterested third party there to bounce ideas off of far dwarfs an agent's commission.
The MLS is not dominant listing source anymore, the Internet is. But the path one takes from seeing a home to buy, to buying that home is very dark, and lonely. That is why using my service is always better. I will not steer you away from any home, but if the reason there is this beautifully landscaped lot next to the home you want to buy, and the reason it is that way is because that home fell into a sink hole; I will tell you. Link Farmers will do no more than show you a pretty picture with some possibly related facts about that picture.
Self Service is good for things like buying a Watermelon. But for most folks, buying a home will be the biggest purchase of their lives. And when you are at the Bargaining table, every phrase you utter will be used to the benefit of the other person who knows what to say, and how to say it..
Maybe I can help you. If I bring my client to your home, will you be there to allow us in? Are you going to stage your home; I know it is the place of your dreams, but my clients will not put that in their acceptance framework. "As Is" is a meaningless phrase in Contract Law. Then there is the part were if you didn't tell us about some defect, you will feel comfortable about restitution? I would like to help you, it sounds like you will do all of the courier work for Escrow, and the Buyer, that is very helpful. There is going to be some questioning about Title. For $500K I do not have any clients that will trust you, or their bank's for that matter. There is the other side of trust, how can you trust my client to give you the $500K? Then there is the part of market value, what if your home is worth really $600K? This type of issue has happened before. Most times I can slow a Seller down before they commit themselves horribly.
Actually, there is parity with the MLS, and that are the various Search Engines available to us today. But that is only one facet of a Realtor. Ya, there is the legal aspect of the transaction, but there is more. Only a few people feel comfortable about the biggest purchase of their lives. A real estate agent can help with the doubts by dispelling them correctly.
"Seller's Are Story Teller's" is a factual statement; They are trying to get you to buy. How the Buyer's agent earns their keep is by explaining your options to you for each home you consider purchasing, and there are many options to consider. All this stuff takes time, resources, and money. Ya, you can do it all yourself, but you will always wonder if you could have done better.
In the beginning, one thinks, "this is easy, I can do it myself." But the time sink that selling a home is, is very deep. Then, when you get tired of telling Bottom Feeders that you will NOT take 50 cents on the dollar for your home, things kind of change then. That is when a Realtor looks like they are not paid enough, and you are getting the better end of it all.
OK, you put your home up for sale on a Link Farmer's web site. $50 is not to expensive. Then, one fateful day a web surfer sees your home and now buys it from you. 45 days later, you get a summons for $150,000 in damages because the buyer thinks you sold her a home with bad pipes, and dry wall. Sadly, you are in for a hard lesson in Real Estate Contract Law; you will not like the outcome of the verdict.
Let us say you just saw the picture of the home of your dreams; This home and the facts on the web page were nicely presented. What the Link Farmer did not tell you was that the web page is a Phishing page? And you just told the web page everything it wanted to know?
Not really, the Link Farmer is only showing you a picture of a home, and some facts, maybe about that home. If that home is next to a home for Bi-Polar Roosters, what is their motivation for telling you?
There is more to being a Realtor, than being a Realtor. The Pizza Hut clerk sells you a pizza you don't like, it is a cheap lesson learned. You purchase a home, and it slides down the hill; The mortgage payment is still due next month. As for trusting me, I'm bonded; When it comes to listing, or selling homes, I do not think the Pizza Hut clerk, or the Link Farmer are. Why do you want to buy a home?
From previous experience, any home in southern California for sale is not only on the MLS portal, but is also on someone's web site, usually the listing agent. I do not know of ANY listing agent that is going to tell anyone NOT to advertise their listing for free. Given the above, all it means is that the same address will get on the search engines more than once. The impact will be that other properties will be pushed down the list. I do not know if that is a win for the Seller, or Buyer, but this is going to be the outcome. There are going to be some legal problems about the listing, but I figure the folks that won the law suit already know how to side step it. Ya, I am a Realtor, if you have a question about homes ask me, my advice is always free.

The irony of this is that it is a news agency ignoring the First Amendment rights of others telling "the news of the news".
