The problem isn't that some idiot walked past security staring at his iPad. The problem is that some idiots in security let a fool walk past them (were they staring at iPads too?).
The obvious solution is to elect a President who will appoint a law-abiding AG. The obvious problem with that is, most candidates don't admit that they'll violate your rights while campaigning.:-P
Most of the ones we've seen. But, maybe there's a whole bunch that don't. Either of Spock's parents would have had trouble, medical intervention notwithstanding, making it with a Horta.
I have a friend who has worked in Hospice for the last seven years.
According to him, 100% of people get dementia as they age past 70.
We're really good at keeping our bodies alive, but have very little science on what keeps our brains functioning.
I think enough people in our generation have a story about a grandparent who lived for years in a terrifying state of confused, blurry existence.
Choosing for yourself "I never want that to happen to me, personally", seems like an allowable thing.
If you've experienced that and still want to spend a decade drooling in a wheelchair pointed at a TV, good for you, because that will be the default choice for a long time.
My grandparents lived into their 70s. Their minds remained sharp even when not much else was right. My mom's 80, and still sharp, mentally AND physically. My aunt's 95, and until a recent stroke, remained mentally sharp.
My mom's 80, and still going strong. She did have a bad fall earlier this year, but recovered well, and walks as well as before she fell. My aunt's not doing well, but she's 95, and was still doing reasonably well at 90.

I live in the Midwest, and I know what sub zero and over 100 feel like. I would classify those temps as unlivable, even if they do happen routinely.
I think they should go back to year versioning. It's simple and easy to understand. It works for Office, Quicken, and my car.
Yeah, I guess they're worried it will mess up their cloud or phone calls or something. :-P

But I know I can trust them! They told me so, and trustworthy people don't lie.
Frankly, I have no wish to see Scientist A naked. We really need scientists who are as hot as Celebrity M. I would totally trust them in that case.

Yes, he is to blame. He might not have started it, but he sure hasn't done anything to fix it.
They'll probably censor Pepsi into *****
If you think a big-ass phone is bad in your front pocket, try putting a big ass-phone in your BACK pocket!
And on my 100th birthday, I'll die quickly, shot in the head by the cute 25 y/o chick's hubby after he catches me in the act.

I hit the brick wall where the summary plunged into "thinking science has made God irrelevant."
Oh, silly summary. God remains a relevant fictional character. You know, like that girl from the Twilight books.
I dunno, I think the Greeks & Romans did better fiction. The Xtian God is a bit overpowered.
And his old man picked Quayle. I think the last time we had a VP who wasn't too scary to let in the big chair was Johnson.
In my area, the Pepsi doesn't call itself "throwback" anymore, but some of the cans say "real sugar" on them, so I ASSume it's the same thing.
I'm over 50. I doubt that I pick up new stuff as quickly as I did in my 20s, but I have much more discipline and experience.
I got 10 good years from my Saturn. And no rust problem.
I live in the Midwest, and though most new houses cost more than 80K, many older houses are less. Sometimes quite a lot less, depending on the area.
Nah, that will get wiped out when the sun blows up. We need a backup outside the solar system.
Since I can tell time on my phone, I want to make calls on my wristwatch.
Yup! I drive 30 minutes each way to work. Based on how long it took on the bus at the old workplace, I'd guess at least 90 each way to my current job.
They seldom even check for a signature.
Of course. We speak American on this side of the ocean.
