The AMA limits the number of people trained in medical schools, and colludes with the government to make it difficult for foreign doctors to get licensed in the USA. They're one of the most effective trade guilds of all time. If you're seriously trying to deny that they do this, then you need to find yourself a better grade of crack to smoke.
Indiana: "In all criminal cases whatever, the jury shall have the right to determine the law and the facts." Maryland: "In the trial of all criminal cases, the Jury shall be the Judges of Law, as well as of fact, except that the Court may pass upon the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain a conviction. Oregon: "In all criminal cases whatever, the jury shall have the right to determine the law, and the facts under the direction of the Court as to the law, and the right of new trial, as in civil cases."
. With limited exceptions*, juries are the finders of fact and judges are the finders of law
That's what the government would like us to believe. The fact though, is that the jury has the power to determine both the facts and the law, and even nullify a law in a case before them, although they may be told otherwise.
Well, there's a tort here of willfully causing emotional distress, which could be litigated, and a jury would be within its legitimate power to order a remedy to the harm he's causing. Ordinarily that would mean taking his money and giving it to the plaintiff. As for forcing him to STFU, I'd be a lot more comfortable with a jury in a civil action deciding that than a judge or any other government official.
The AMA colludes with the government to limit the number of people licensed to practice medicine. It's not just setting a barrier to entry, it's active limitation of the supply.
I beat your unfounded and ill-educated claim
I'm obviously far better informed on this subject than you are.
It's a country in the grip of a deified leader cult. They worship their tyrant and his father in a manner that would have made L. Ron Hubbard or Jim Jones jealous.
I'm sure that if the government wasn't there to tell you what to do, you'd just tilt your head back in the rain and drown like a turkey, but most people don't suffer from your inabilities.
Let me give you an anecdote about how to remedy the unreliability of Windows for server applications. Friend of mine had the contract to run the web site for a major government agency for several years. When he arrived, they had 21 Dell boxes serving their main web site, which each typically crashed every four hours. For political reasons, he was unable to convince them to move off of Windows to BSD or Linux. Solution: run the web apps in VMs on Linux, so that when they failed, they could be restarted instantaneously. Side effect: because Linux is far better at handling virtual memory that Windows, they were able to replace those 21 hosts with three Linux hosts each running multiple instances of the brain-dead platform in VMs.

If the only thing on your resume was a collection of bullshit certs like the MSCE, you'd never make it to a phone screening.
I remember hearing about that bill, but I didn't know it had actually made it through one body of their legislature. I was working in Paramus around then, and I remember my client saying that if it passed, they'd move all of their operations to Pennsylvania or Connecticut within a month.
It really is tragic how Malaysia is degenerating into a Saudi colony. There was a time after they got free of the British when it looked like Malaysia might turn out to be a fine place to live.
Precisely. The purpose of all trade licensing is to raise barriers to entry to protect the incompetent from competitors. It benefits the cartel at the expense of the public.
Wow. Every time I think Peta can't go any further off the deep end, they top themselves. Anyone remember when they tried to get people to call fish "sea kittens", so that we wouldn't eat them?

And as far as Dell "knowing more", you'd think so, but then look at the boneheaded moves of HP in recent months
Last I checked, HP and Dell were two different companies.

Sorry I still believe there is a strong market for sub $300 laptops.
Then start a business and see if you're right. I suspect Dell knows a bit more about this than you're guessing they do.

>No, juries are do not determine law.
Excerpts from a couple of state constitutions:
Indiana: "In all criminal cases whatever, the jury shall have the right to determine the law and the facts."
Maryland: "In the trial of all criminal cases, the Jury shall be the Judges of Law, as well as of fact, except that the Court may pass upon the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain a conviction.
Oregon: "In all criminal cases whatever, the jury shall have the right to determine the law, and the facts under the direction of the Court as to the law, and the right of new trial, as in civil cases."

You think the licensing to be a medical doctor is some arbitrary thing?
Wow, you sure picked the worst possible example.

Heh, in my opinion having an MCSE counts against you, you'd have to convince me you were forced into getting one by someone else
I concur. Most of the MSCEs I've run into have a peculiar habit of pretending that Windows is acceptable as a server for production use.
If, god forbid, I ever had to hire a Windows sysadmin, I'd take the guy with the Linux boot image on his USB key.
