  1. Re:wait, I thought stuff like this & tripwire on The Rapid Rise of License Plate Readers · · Score: 1

    Tell that to the people on a grand jury, oh wait you have no defense on a grand jury, and you have no knowledge that one is being conducted. And then when it gets to the trial that is there to put you away for what ever they can think of (remember there are oh so many laws on the books that are simply unenforced but still in effect including bans on sodomy, not going to church on Sunday, having an affair, and many more ) you look oh so guilt, and even though it is circumstantial you sure look guilty.

    If only our govenment would realize that a space program is more than a galactic pissing contest, that it is a investment ito new knowledge and technology. War isn't the only thing that brings with it new tech, space travel brings new tech because of the never before encountered situations and challenges. The tech developed there can be applied elsewhere as well and with technology comes a raised standard of living.
