    Evidence is an attribute that that exists only after criteria are met. I can destroy my hard drive today and be charged with a crime tomorrow. When the authorities realize what I have done, there's nothing they can do. The hard drive only becomes evidence after probable cause has been established and a warrant has been issued and I am made aware that my hard drive is evidence.

    There are exceptions, but not as relates to this matter.

    ... the court can instruct the jury to assume that the evidence that was destroyed showed exactly what the prosecution says it shows ...

    You are an asshat and what pisses me off is that you know damn well that you are making a false statement.

    Not accurate at all.

    The editorial cartoons created a lot of stir, which attracts a lot of eyeballs, and therefore money. After the initial thrust by the editors, it became a pissing contest -- a reality show -- that crossed the line of common sense.

    Delfeil adds: “I believe that we are fools who took an unnecessary risk. That’s it. We think we are invulnerable. For years, decades even, it was a provocation and then one day the provocation turns against us.

    Why would you be interested in impressing people with your point of view? Wouldn't you have to change your point of view each time you are addressing a different audience? How do you collect impression index data of each audience to determine the magnitude and polarity of the impression you are making?

    Is there an app for that?

    And, "No.," I don't think that either [I]slamic culture, [G]erman culture, or drug laws should be changed because:

    1.) The objection to depicting Muhammad, is not embedded in the Islamic culture. Muslims have long produced artwork that includes likenesses the Prophet. Recent rabid rebels who have hijacked the Muslim religion are responsible for that nonsense. Look it up.

    2.) The prohibition of Holocaust denial in Germany is not cultural, either. It is law. There are lots of countries and lots of laws. I don't have the authority (or interest) to change laws in those countries.

    3.) (Assuming US, here) Drug laws are the product of legislation and I'm not interested at this time in changing any drug laws. I am consumed, currently, with making my legacy Windows XP machines think they are embedded ATM machines so they will continue to be updated against security exploits by Microsoft and stuff.
