they do it on csi alla time, & solve any crime in 40mins or less, every week;-)
is the basis of _all_ freedoms, something marxists can't seem to comprehend:-(
a so.am. economist saw proof of this in the fates of shantytowns separated by a stream/political boundary: on one side, the inhabitants had no property rights; they continued to bring tvs & refrigerators home in their pickups to their tarpaper shacks, living in squalor & fear that bulldozers would someday flatten everything they couldn't carry...
on the other side, activists had secured titles to the land: shacks were replaced by brick houses, secure that they had the right to be there, that it couldn't arbitrarily be taken away.
funny how marxists can't explain how evil capitalism oppresses only on 1 side of the stream;-)
this is a recurring fantasy of the brady bunch, that the police can protect you, indeed are responsible for your personal protection, and that the only solution is banning guns.
but in a case involving several women in d.c. shot by an intruder while waiting for a police response (that never came)-: the courts decided that the police were not liable for not responding because they are not responsible for protecting citizens.
i expect this will lead to the overturning of d.c.'s gun prohibition (which works_so_well)-: by the supremes.
isn't necessarily ok 4 the common gander: a neighbor was having problems with mailbox batting practice & set up a video camera in an upstairs bedroom, trained on his driveway & mailbox at the curb.
he was told to take it down by his across-the-street neighbor, who works for the CIA...

i worked in ada, late '80s, early '90s, alsn, wrote a troff clone;-) i had just learned c & chafed @ the strictness (i don't need no steenkin compile-time checks;-) but i grew to appreciate it...definitely leads to better code.

that's asking way 2 much from the public:-( reminds me of the last time record oil company profits were in the news: unka walter cronkite (krankheit: german for disease;-) blathering about obscene profits, totally without perspective: ~2-4%, while @ the time cbs was making 50% profit, and unka disease was "earning" $1e6/yr for sitting on his fat ass reading from a teleprompter:-( perspective, indeed:-(

"While Title IX has been effective in promoting women's participation in sports, it has also caused serious damage, in part because it has led to the adoption of a quota system. Over the years, judges, Department of Education officials, and college administrators have interpreted Title IX to mean that women are entitled to "statistical proportionality." That is to say, if a college's student body is 60 percent female, then 60 percent of the athletes should be female--even if far fewer women than men are interested in playing sports at that college. But many athletic directors have been unable to attract the same proportion of women as men. To avoid government harassment, loss of funding, and lawsuits, they have simply eliminated men's teams. Although there are many factors affecting the evolution of men's and women's college sports, there is no question that Title IX has led to men's participation being calibrated to the level of women's interest. That kind of calibration could devastate academic science."
