  1. Re:Conspiracy Theories on OpenBSD: Hackers Meet Soldiers · · Score: 1

    The prefered gender neutral is she/he/it. Which can be abreviated appropriately.

  2. Re:Constitution does not say you can own a gun. on New Jersey Enacts 'Smart Gun' Law · · Score: 1

    U.S. vrs. Miller 1939

    "In the absence of any evidence tending to show that possession or use of a "shotgun having a barrel of less than 18 inches in length" at this time has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well-regulated militia, we cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument."

    This case was brought before the supreme's when the man Miller was arrested parading with a sawed off shotgun. The fact that sawed off shotguns were used in World Ward War I was never presented by his defence team.

    My understanding of the Supreme's reasoning is that the 2nd Amendment only guarantees the right to own weapons that are militarily useful. (i.e. could be used to put down a tyranically government.)

    I want a MX missile in the back yard.

  3. Re:Timing is everything on NSA Director, Congress and Monitoring · · Score: 1

    WOW now, the NSA is chartered to do intelligence gathering outside the borders of the U.S.A. So the line should be drawn that anything they do outside the borders is correct. (Think a working Echelon system, links to this http://www.echelonwatch.org/ http://www.fas.org/irp/program/process/echelon.htm http://mediafilter.org/caq/echelon/) Now the issue is what how can the NSA handle the Internet, when packets are bouncing around from inside and outside the U.S.A. If the U.S.(A.) government does not protect its citizens to the best of its abilities what is the purpose of the U.S.(A.) government.

    "The market economy has done such an excellent job in protecting the environment and promoting individual liberty."
    Well let's just compare the environment in countries that free economies vrs the command driven economies which I believe have lately been experimented on in the former Communist countries.
