Obviously free speech does mean some pain and suffering as part of that freedom. America is supposed to be a melting pot so we ignore the screams when the lobster hits the boiling water.
South beach in Miami has hundreds of topless girls on the beach and about 20 miles north of that is a nude beach. Obviously some women would strongly object to being filmed or photographed naked or topless . But guess what! It's a public beach and they are in public view. It is none of their business who films them. Silly as it sounds some girls get upset if the wrong guy looks at them. We all have to be willing to take credit for what we do.
Well on my other three hands I suppose that when an action takes place in front of others that it is very hard to consider it private at all. For example doing something in front of a photographer might really tend to bring into doubt that privacy applies in any way. Even taking the film to a store to have it developed makes it public.
Porn is not speech any more. The Supreme Court now says money is free speech and corporations are people. Being that i am not a corporation I suppose that now I am not a person and therefore laws do not apply to me at all.
I may not be the only one who thinks having three kids and a house in the suburbs either indicates a serious IQ issue or some sort of mental illness is at work. If one can get sold on the yuppie way of life one has already been lost.
How about we simply allow Cuba's problems to be Cuba's and keep our hand out of the picture completely? The problem is that when we work to destabilize a government we often end up with a rebellion that ends up with an even worse government in place. Cuba's brand of communism has become a bit less harsh and will probably continue to moderate itself. But if we cause turmoil they could easily revert to a form of communism more like Stalin had in place in Russia. That would mean far greater suffering for the Cuban people. Right now Russia has great turmoil. Many people are suffering in the new Russia as their system was destroyed when the Soviet Union was broken. There is a certain risk that they will revert to a ridged and violent form of communism due to their current miseries. We can not see why North Korea is so greatly isolationist but I suspect it is simply because they are aware that other nations can manipulate the public so easily. Yes North Korea needs to change but it really must be internal rather than a result of covert actions by other nations.
The chances are that we do not completely understand what they are doing. A major university making an announcement has a lot at stake when it releases such statements. Even monetary liability comes into play if someone suffers harm after using an "unbreakable" password and it gets broken.
My greatest concern would be that our government is the author of such a scheme with a method in hand of getting through that password system. These days any encryption scheme may be tainted by government agencies. Operating systems might also be a huge playground for spooks with too much time and money and power backing them up.
Oh there are such laws. The feds and some states no longer allow willful ignorance as a legal defense. In other words if you drive a truck and the back of the truck is swimming in large amounts of dope you can go to prison even though you never looked in the trunk or heard tell that there was a load of dope in the truck.
The idea that a reasonable person would at least eyeball a load to see if any obvious contraband was on board. This is sort of new as in years gone by as long as no proof showed that you knew there was dope you could not be convicted.
Doctors do have to guess at which patients will be destroyed by bad news. Sometimes they ask a relative whether the patient should be informed or not. Some people really do not believe that all people die and the idea that they will actually die is not part of their beliefs. Other people are very aware that death is always at our door and that their day will come. That is not depressing in itself as death does tend to stop all suffering and regrets. To some folks coming to a dead stop (pun intended) is heaven in itself.
We would have to start with Bush and Cheney and the chain of command that obeyed orders. The proper charge might be murder as some of the people died of the torture that was inflicted upon them. Just as we executed German and Japanese war criminals we need to do the same with American officials. Naturally the low ranked guards were the scapegoats and they could not have said no as easily as those above them in the chain of command. Further we turned prisoners over to other nations with full knowledge that unlimited horrors including death would be applied to some of our prisoners.
Use the same paint brush that the "too big to fail" jerks received. We are providing absolute proof that American values are a fraud and a falsehood displayed to the entire world including our own citizens. It is a matter of class and race. Certain people are exempt from all law in the US. Bush is one of them. I'm getting old and with luck I will not be alive to see the consequences when the public finally goes into rebellion or supports a foreign power invading this nation. I do think we are building towards an awful rebellion and chaos.
A stock could be acquired and sold in a tiny fraction of a second. Sales tax may be the answer. Think of a company making tens of thousands of trades every day. A healthy sales tax applied to each and every turnover of money could fund our government and maybe allow us to knock off the income taxes. Selling a stock should be no different than selling any other item. the same taxes should apply. We might even see a bank deposit by a customer as also being a sale by the bank and tax it. A withdrawal from the bank might generate the identical tax. A consistent requirement that treats all transactions equally is rather basicl to the notion of justice.
Selling an improved version of the same part is an admission that the original design was incorrect. A failure to recall may yield manslaughter charges as well as a rather crushing pile of law suits. One day a class action suit will take root due to cars being all too easy to steal. At the price of modern cars a buyer has some right to expect some really serious anti-theft features as well as the usual safety features. Why is it we still see ignitions that can be torn out by a simple dent puller tool?
It has tested as safe. But maybe due to the ever looming threat of legal actions it is better to dump it. My notion would be to mix it in with hog rations as they would probably love it.
Watch out! 3D printing threatens the construction industry already. Because the potential is so great the customer base for acquiring 3D printers will take off like wildfire. And as more companies and individuals start to clone these printers they should replace a huge portion of industry. Just think, no shipping at all! And that includes goods shipped from the orient.
Thinking short term is not thinking at all. For example there are many people who have been warned for 50 years that cigarettes would kill them or cause great harm who still smoke. It really does matter a lot what will happen in fifty years. To pretend it does not is part of the fog of youth. It is like telling a kid in the seventh grade that if he does not really value education he will be screwed for life. That information rarely turns a kid around who is on the wrong path.
It is a constructive conspiracy. First we allow private businesses to sell mortgages. Realizing that banks could be destroyed if a hurricane destroys too many mortgaged properties we then allow mortgage sellers to demand that the property be insured upon penalty of repossession. That in turn allows insurance companies which probably own the banks anyway to charge absurd rates. The state steps in a tries to regulate the greed of the insurance companies.
Now here is the catch. Florida would be much better off if we allowed no mortgages to be sold at all and no loans at all to be made against property. That way only well funded people would be able to move to Florida. Younger couples that tend to have children would not be able to move here. Therefore we would lower the need for a very large school system. Our hospitals would have far fewer people who are unable to pay. Food stamps and welfare would also be rather rare. We don't even need to have rental units as a concept. Since we do have a very special condition for farming we would require some sort of camps for migrant farm workers. We also have no need for tourism unless we allow mortgages and rentals and that would reduce our need for ports, airports, road and rails. In essence Florida would be a place for people who are blessed with wealth and best of all our population would shrink by at least 60%. In essence the entire system conspire to expose people to hazards and degrade the quality of life. I have been in Florida since it had a tiny population. We have had less and less quality of life for the last 60 years.
Probably 90% of Americans live in places that are way too risky. The Mississippi river reaches out quite a ways at time. Joplin Missouri found out what tornadoes can do. Even ice storms in the north can cause serious losses to property and lives as well. A town in Texas was once eliminated by a war ship accidentally exploding in the harbor. It gets worse when buildings are not required to be strong enough to survive various emergencies. The last hurricane I went through had my neighborhood isolated for three days after the storm left as so many trees were in the streets that we were cut off even from emergency vehicles. Phones did not work and most cell phones failed as well due to towers being blown down and power companies not able to restore phone service for over a month. Those that lived pay check to pay check often found their employment went with the storm as shops were destroyed. Major emergencies have side effects that most people are not aware of. I had the wisdom to stock up on charcoal. For several weeks I made my coffee over charcoal and ate canned food as it was all that we could have stored for such an event. Our local grocery stores caved in and eventually I drove 85 miles one way to get to s store that was functioning.
I had a geology professor who remarked that he would not spend a single night in San Francisco for one thousand dollars. He felt the same way about most of California. He had worked as a field geologist for decades before accepting a professorship. Can you imagine the effect upon our nation if San Francisco was reduced to total ruin? As a matter of national security we should get our tech firms out of there and disallow any form of mortgages as well. when the big one hits many banks will collapse in more ways than one.
I would suspect that most disability types have members that can adapt software to the needs of the group. Perhaps someone that has a disability can contact the org that represents their disability and suggest that the patch be mentioned in the org's fliers or on their web site. Better yet some of these orgs could actually send a patched DVD with to members of the group that need the software.
I do agree that our prison system needs a serious rebuild such that those who serve time come out of prison more fit to live a decent life. Although the nation's economic condition now makes that sort of impossible. How can a released convict get a decent job when many much more perfect candidates can find no decent work at all?
As far as dope is concerned we made the same mistake with alcohol. Going after the business side of dope can't work. There has to be a willingness to go to war on the casual drug user in order to win that battle. We will not survive as a nation if we allow people to get high at will.
The militarization of police is being caused by the violent reaction that many people have towards any form of control. Cops get attacked far too often compared to decades past. There is some abuse of no knock warrants but these days it is important not to give a moment for bad people to get to their weapons, destroy evidence or kill captives.
Right now there is already a tendency to arrest only as many people as a county can afford to arrest. It is not that there are not large numbers of people that are not already "caught" so to speak. It is simply an economic issue in not being able to arrest every criminal that one could easily convict.
Prisons and books do have some conflicts. The idea that drugs like LSD can be placed on a page and be licked by inmates has been around for a while. There are also issues with prisoners setting paper on fire and throwing it from their cells. The end result is that if reading material is allowed it must be shipped directly from the publisher thus making reading unaffordable for inmates. Much of this is simply administrative nonsense and a way to justify wanting more employees in a prison system.
There is also lingering belief that prisons are supposed to apply punishments beyond simply setting an inmate aside from society which is also nonsense. We have never authorized a prison system to be unpleasant in any way. There has been no recognition of the fact that some mental illnesses cause inmates to constantly break any rules that they can. If we do confront the fact that some really mentally ill people are inmates then we would sort of be obligated to provide real care for them and that is expensive. It also would enrage some of the rabid dog members of the public who want convicts tortured or killed in prisons. Long prison sentences may be the only effective way to limit crimes but many inmates want to improve themselves and boredom, insulting conditions and a life that resembles boot camp is exactly the wrong thing to provide as is bad diet and inadequate medical care.
I believe that law enforcement catches as many criminals as it can afford to catch. There are probably millions of Americans who could feel a hand on their shoulder at any moment but the simple truth is catching a criminal creates a huge expense in many cases. It is rather like an IRS auditor who can easily catch far more cheaters than the system could ever hope to deal with. It is also part of the reason that arrests are sometimes seen as racial in nature. If you were running a cop shop and knew that one segment of the public could afford good lawyers while another segment almost had to plea bargain due to lack of funds from a tax payer perspective you simply don't want to arrest those with enough money to fight back. Racial issues and money issues are welded together and it is only when a society is willing to hurt itself economically that the cops can go after well heeled citizens.
Most women will not tolerate a partner that pulls in less than they do. She will leave you all too soon. Secondly age works against you. Employers like youth a lot. I would suggest that you take any job that you can get and stretch out your opportunity pathway as it may take some time before you land in the right position. She will respect you more that way. I think that if I had to live in Turkey the shock of culture change would be too great. Perhaps you could adapt easier than i could.
The tag on a car is in public view. Therefore anyone has the right to view the tag and even note the when and where of such a tag. Think about it a little bit. When a man or woman hires a private detective to follow a wayward spouse and report back on where they visit that has never been considered illegal and ordinary people were free to do such things and not just cops.
This all really points to records at the county courthouse debates. Once electronic postings of those records became common people complained becasue it was now too easy for people to search public records. The idea that one must go to the courthouse in person to see the exact same records is absurd. Now the real complaint is that it is now too easy for the cops to have records of where every car is at all times.
Here is the real problem. Criminals sometimes plan crimes. If a man wants to pull a stick up and he is short and skinny with black hair he may leave his car near the crime scene and have a person who is taller, blond and heavy set pick up his car later. But if the cops use computer power they can look back and see all the cars parked fairly near an armed robberies over time and get a very solid lead on who is doing the crimes. Changing who picks the car up will no longer work as a tactic for such crimes. We do not want to throw out tools that help catch criminals.
It obviously restrains free trade of services by employees and vendors. It probably violates federal law and many state laws but maybe not in every state. Watch out for a class action suit that may be a wolf in sheep's clothing that works to the benefit of the criminals. Individual suits would be better for almost all workers.
Sadly Christianity in the US has sects that might as well be in a Looney Tunes cartoon. It starts with rabid, primitive ministers who preach absurd sermons. They take one word, not understanding the meaning, and form cults from the linguistic confusion. LeBron James played an inspired basketball game the other night. It was wonderful to watch. He may have been inspired by god, Himself. That does not imply that Lebron played a perfect basketball game. there is a huge difference between inspired and perfect. The men who wrote the Bible were inspired. The King James version in particular is a work of the highest art. That does not imply that the bible is perfect. After all, it was written by men who were just like LeBron james inspired but not perfect. Further the message of the Bible had to be delivered in a way that people could understand it. Terms that are understood to men in the 21st. century would have meant nothing at all to men 2,000 years ago. But take a backwoods Baptist minister wound up in full religious fervor and he can take a Bible and twist it into nonsense beyond all reason. As America has declined we have more and more wrectched people who simply latch on to straws trying to survive. The doctrines that they latch onto would be an abomination to Christ and are not part of the Christian faith.
But we all understand that no matter how much proof of evolution emerges that backwoods nut of a minister can simply claim the proofs were created by the devil and are all false proofs. If anything it was that minister who was created by the devil to deceive the followers.

Perhaps Bitcoin has more power than China. Sometimes a new idea or item has enormous muscle.
