Actually, I believe this is a questin of prior restraint on speech. Libel, slander, etc, may be actionable (in civil, not criminal, court), but there is no mechanismfor teh Government to stop it from being published. At least, not yet.
Californians have found the solution to the deregulation disaster: re-call the only governor in the nation with the cojones to stand up to the electricity price fixers. And unlike Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gov. Gray Davis stood alone against the bad guys without using a body double. Davis called Reliant Corp of Houston a pack of "pirates" --and now he'll walk the plank for daring to stand up to the Texas marauders.
Ha, ha, ha!!!!!!! Gray Davis standing up to to the Texas Marauders? The worst offender was California's own Los Angeles Dept of Water and Power, which gets federally subsidized power and resells it to the state. He did nothing about them because his chief energy advisor was the former chief at LADWP.
I've often wondered that myself. I mean, if we teach the Judeo-Christian Creation mythology in schools, why don't we also have to teach the hundreds of other Creation myths? I'd sure love to see how parents react when little Johnny comes home and explains how the Walrus God created the universe.
There is an approximately 70-80 year cycle of Solar output called the "Gleissberg cycle". (I am not an astrophysicist, so do a Google search.) We are approching the peak of the cycle (the last peak was in 1932). During the last minimum in the cycle (late 60's-early 70's) I rememmber a lot of talk about "global cooling".
Nuts, unless the value of your possesions makes it worthwhile. If I had, say, an art collection worth several million dollars, you can bet I would protect it, even it it meant spending thousands of dollars to do it. I'm not going to do it to protect a $200 TV set, though.
911 happened because the FAA had a huge hole in their security. Box cutter knives were legally allowed to be carried on airliners. Without them, those planes would not have been hijacked.
Quite effective, until someone actually does it. The reason we don't fortify our homes is that the value of the contents does not justify the cost. Robbing banks is illegal, but banks do not rely on solely on law to stop robberies, they put the bulk of the cash in a vault.
G. W. Bush spent zero time campaigning in California during the last election. Despite this, Simon, a completely incomptetent campaigner, made huge gains on Davis and could have beat him had the Republican Party remembered that California is still part of the US. California's electoral problems are more due to the motor voter laws (absolutely anyone can register to vote), than dumb voters. If the federal govt would (a) ensure that only US citzens are allowed to vote, and (b) actually enforce immigration law, the election results might be quite a bit different.
Let me see if I have this straight: I have the original CD (with the hologram and all), I have the box it came in, the manual, and the certificate with the serial number on it, but I threw away the Office Depot reciept, I am now in possesion of pirated software?

Dude, I haven't even been in a Target in at least 5 years.
Iraq's crime was sitting on the 2nd largest known oil reserve on Earth.

You are right. I will change my ways. From now on, I will no longer exhale.

It doesn't matter who wins, it will cost you more to fight the case than settle.

I don't mean to be anally retentive about this, but the case you mention happened before Reno became Attorney General.
Right on the money. I couldn't have said it better.
Cheer up! When the economy gets worse, we still have Syria to invade. then we can all rally around Bush again!
I wasn't proposing anything, just pointing out that hydrogen does not solve the global warming problem.

Please write this 500 times: "Carbon Dioxide is not a pollutant"
The exhaust from fuel cells is water. Water vapor is a "greenhouse gas".
Do a Google search on the "Gleissberg Cycle". We are approaching the peak. The last peak was in 1932 (Remember the dust bowl?)

Our current administration doesn't strike me as a group of strategic geniuses.

Actually it would have tripled the registration fees. Davis did veto it, porobably for the reason you stated.
Actually I believe California will be in violation of Federal Clean Air laws if they build any more plants.

OEMs are required by Microsoft to put that sticker on the PC. I agree it's a dumb idea, but they have no choice.
