An interesting Constitutional question - when Bush privatizes every government function, will the private contractors be bound by the same restrictions as is a governmental body? When private cops arrest you, do they need due cause? Do you get your rights read to you? Do you get to see a lawyer? Can they beat information out of you?
Chief Justice Thomas won't have a problem with that - it's not strictly proscribed, so let it rip!
Meteors? That's the least of our problems!

Who cares about rocks? I never been hit by no rock from outer space. I just found out that there's these neutrino thingys that are busting me up, a trillion a second. That's Mother Nature popping a bad cap in my ass! I want me a neutrino shield.
This just in - the US Congress today extended copyright protection back to "three business days before the Earth coalesced from the formless void", so the laywer representing the descendants of the Bard will be calling on these IP pirates and terrorists this afternoon with the mother of all cease-and-desist orders.

Yeah, kill Saddam and all the evil Sunnis who have been torturing the Shiite majority for decades. The we can have a good old American-style one-man-one-vote election. The early favorite in that would be the spiritual leader of the Iraqi Shiites - Ayatollah Muhammad Bakr al-Hakim, now in exile in Iran.
Great plan, George!
Unless we mean a good old American one-man-one-vote Florida style.
Speaking of rewriting, let me pause to urge you to read the late Page Smith's revisitation of American history in eight volumes. You don't know America until you have read this series: http://members.aol.com/jamietampa/Smith/b ooks.html
I mean, come on - any half-decent supervillian is going to know they are friends and kidnap her anyway. So he might as well be banging her four times (once per set of legs) to Sunday. You know, keep your friends close and your beautiful supermodel nemesis even closer.
Reminds me of the old financial adage directed at a lender: "Loan me a thousand bucks, and I'm in trouble. Loan me a million bucks, and you're in trouble." Ported to the problem at hand, it might become a political adage directed to an elected official "A ten-employee business in your district is losing money, and it's in trouble. A ten thousand-employee business in your district is losing money, and you're in trouble."
You hear all the time about skies being injured by sliding into trees, and you are tempted to think "In Soviet Union, trees run into you!" ? Well, Bob Park was joggin (in the US) one day, and a big old oak tree fell on him.
Political speech is exempted. Advertising of the "call X and tell him that you are against his position on Y" is protected free speech. So expect emails of the sort: "Call Senator McGuffy and tell him that his penis can be enlarged in only three weeks!"
This is not necessarily a wonderful development. Ozone is a very chemically reactive molecule. Introduced into a grain silo, it is not going to be selective. It will not seek out bugs and pests first. What it will do is react with the organic molecules in the grain - generating all kinds of degradation products, many of which are going to be toxic, mutagenic, teratogenic, etc. Is that a good tradeoff for a few fewer beetle legs in your Cheerios?
n.b.: I buy Marcal paper goods, because they are trying to recycle and whiten their paper products using as many non-chlorinated oxidizing chemicals as they can. The paper industries use of chlorine and hypochlorite is a major source of the organochlorines in the environment.

Come on. You don't "transcend" the laws of nature. You rewrite the laws (theories) of man.
