I imagine this class action lawsuit is not the reason she is on the run. I would think that if what Lee said was true, and she was charging insurance companies $4000 for a $200 job, she has bigger problems.
All speculation, but it seems to me this is a "take the money and run before I get discovered for widespread multimillion dollar insurance fraud" disappearing act rather than a "OMG a civil law suit! Run!" disappearing act.
The idiots that oppose protecting a worldwide food crop from certain extinction because they're scared of science ought be ignored flat out in this case.
Congress can't unilaterally "direct" the executive branch to do anything. All the President has to do is veto the bill (and he will) and too bad, so sad.
There's no way Obama is going to sit back and let Congress tell him what to do. It's that simple.
Religion is simply a symptom of being mentally retarded - or "developmentally delayed" as the new hopeful-sounding buzzword that psychologists use today to give false hope that retardation is simply a "delay" in becoming the smartest person in the world.
Maybe being a psychologist is also a symptom of being retarded.
My county tried that, and AT&T lobbied the state for a Law that prohibited municipalities from rolling out infrastructure for Internet that citizens could connect to. This Law was passed, of course, only after the Federal Government spent tens of millions in subsidies under contract with the county to roll out universal fiber. So, now the county has to pay back all of that money having breached the contract, and after having spent it rolling out the infrastructure.
So yay, I get to keep my 1.5mbit DSL from AT&T, with no plans to ever upgrade. In fact, "never" was the word that AT&T used to describe to me the chances of ever seeing anything more than legacy ADSL.
People don't want to sign up for the armed services knowing that they're just going to be shipped off immediately to one of these middle-eastern hell holes to fight some undeclared war over some bullshit "terror" campaign to "keep us safe" from that big, evil Constitution that is making government's job so difficult.
EAS alerts can be helpful, but they have become so abused that 90% of the alerts are not actually emergencies, and most frequently are not even close to being emergencies worthy of alerting everyone with a cell phone.
A confirmed tornado is an emergency. Doppler readings favorable for tornado formation are not.
An amber alert is not an emergency, let alone activating EAS for the initial alert and every 10 minutes thereafter with a repeat of the original message.
A fast-spreading wildfire is an emergency for the people in the affected area. A car fire on the interstate is not.
A suspicious person in the area is not an emergency.
I've gotten alerts for all of these. I ultimately just turned them all off. If I hear thunder, I check out my Weatherbug Elite. If I smell smoke, I look outside for the fire. I quite frankly no longer care if some negligent parent failed at their duty to protect their child.
I don't see how they expected any other outcome when they started expanding the scope of what constitutes an "emergency."
Listen up. If you want to reduce the power that government has, you have to take away its means to exert that power. That means you have to vote for people who will actually shrink government, who will pass laws protecting your privacy, and reduce the amount of money these agencies have to spend.
I.e. not republicans and not democrats. Unfortunately, 75% of the population is dependent upon government benevolence for their means of survival so they will happily give up their liberties in exchange for a fatter dole to draw from.
Just asking, since unless you were on the jury or in the courtroom every day, what you know about this case amounts to precisely DICK, since all you know is what the transparently biased media has been feeding you.
So, unless you were on the jury, your opinion is worthless, and you should just shut the fuck up right now.
Don't get too far ahead of yourself. When my kids were in public school, their math tests were graded full credit for the right answer, and partial credit depending on how "close" they got to the actual right answer, or if it was just a dumb mistake that resulted in the wrong answer.
It was entirely possible to get a B in a math class never having arrived at a single correct answer. That's the point where I pulled them out of the public school system. I'm just glad I got them out in time.
I don't hire "Comp-E" people for "EE" positions, and vice versa. They are completely different. It really chaps my ass because I did my Undergrad and Masters in Electromagnetism and Remote Sensing, and my degrees say "Electrical and Computer Engineering," so everyone thinks I know something about computers. Heh.
They really should maintain a firm distinction between the two, and maybe even put Computer Engineering in with Computer Science.
I don't see how violating the constitution is in any way necessary for the administration of OSHA, SSA, NTSB, EPA, or any legitimate function of government.
This is precisely what they intended, with "selective enforcement" being the tool of oppression.
A tyrannical State makes everything illegal, but "lets it slide" for friends of the State. I just read "Three Felonies a Day" by Harvey Silverglate, and it was a real eye opener. You would be amazed at all of the stuff that we do every day and take for granted as being legal, that isn't, and could result in federal prison should the State decide it.
The title of the book basically says it all - the average American unwittingly commits three serious felonies every day of their lives.
The key is to stick to your original stated goals, and not to expand them just because you get a bunch more money.
People knew what they were buying with the KS, so there was no reason to radically up-scope the mission, especially to the point that the mission became unobtainable.
If you don't want to be publicly embarrassed and humiliated and lose any credibility you have by being exposed as someone who lies, cheats, steals, and violates your Citizens' rights, then don't lie, cheat, steal, and violate your Citizens' rights.
You know, it seems fairly simple to conceive of some kind of storage medium for solar energy that is cheap, easy, and environmentally sound. If only there were a way to gather up immense amounts of solar energy and store it in some medium that had a reasonably high energy density, was easy to store and cheap to maintain in storage, and where it was quite easy to extract the stored energy, that could even be stored as solid fuel. If only there were a way to easily manufacture such a fuel locally, at or near the point of consumption, and even better, without the use of harsh chemicals and boatloads of energy.
It's too bad nothing even remotely like that exists today.
It is illegal to obscure your identity in a public place, because it is illegal to interfere with the investigation of a crime. Since almost all criminal investigations involve looking for a missing suspect, obscuring your identity prevents law enforcement determining whether you are the suspect, and therefore in doing so you are committing Obstruction of Justice.
At least, that will be the government's reasoning in arresting people as "terrorists" who wear masks in public.
Go to work for a Booze Allen or a Grant Thornton or another big consulting firm that does contracting for the military. Brush up on your EE skills, take the FE exam, and later become a PE.
If the Laws of Physics are getting in the way of scientific advances like this, then that's something we need to get Congress to take a hard look at in the coming years./tic

That's entirely possible now that the Posse Comitatus Act has been effectively repealed.

They "claim" to have a "goal" of 99.99%.
A claim is not fact, and a goal is not a real measurement.
Just sayin'

Laws are for us, not the government.
Now make it 800,000 lbs of plane, pax, and luggage, and do it in 5 hours or less east to west.
Then you'll have something.
