Its all about the illusion of security anyway. As long as america is the leading terrorist state its gonna piss alot of people off and some of them are not going to be content to attack us by legal means like the world court. Do you know why? Its because the last time that was tried, the world court condemned us, ordered us to pay reperarations, and we refused. I'm not saying the 9/11 hijackers were justified but I can definatly see why they did what they did, and ITS NOT BECAUSE THEY HATE FREEDOM.
When I say the US government I mean the current elected federal government. I mean the Bush administration but I hesitate to use that phrase because it isn't just the Bush admin, its most of the administrations the US has ever had.
Well i guess you missed the point. I said this really should all be sepperate from politics. However, if you want to get into that. I really don't get my information from the people like michael moore or al frankin. Really i think they are funny but not where you find out whats really going on. People like noam chomsky and howard zinn are the people I listen to.
I think we need to consider things like this to be seperate from politics and anti americanism. I am certainly against the american government. I hope we can elect someone else this year. But I am happy this mission succeeded. Not really for the US but for the world. These days projects like this are world efforts. Many of the scientists that have work on this and other missions come from all over the world and are of all different nationalities. So as someone against the american government, I ask that we leave this seperate from politics and just be happy not for america, but for the world.
At a press conference in Philadelphia, the mayor, and ex-police chief Frank Rizzo exploded at what he called "the new breed" of journalists. "They [the people] believe what you write and what you say," he said, "and it's got to stop. One day--and I hope it's in my career--you're going to have to be held responsible and accountable for what you do." This new breed of journalists were doing exactly what good journalists should do, being watchdogs over people in power. They were questioning the official stories given by police.
It just so happens that one of the most prominent of these journalists is currently on Pennsylvania's death row, awaiting execution. His name is Mumia Abu-Jamal. Mumia was minister of information for the Philadelphia chapter of the black panthers at age 15. He wrote for the national newspaper of the Black Panthers at this young age. After the fall of the panthers (with the help of Illegal FBI harassment) he moved to radio. Quickly becoming one of the biggest names in local radio, Mumia interviewed Jesse Jackson and became the president of the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists, all by age 25. He even won a Peabody Award. He was however, still a radical, called by the Philadelphia Inquirer "an eloquent activist not afraid to raise his voice."
The Philadelphia police would live up to the threat of their mayor. It started with such things as a smiling cop cocking his finger and saying "bang bang" to Mumia. It escalated to a late night police beating of his brother. That night, he was driving a cab. He saw the beating of his brother by Officer Daniel Faulkner. Mumia stopped to try and stop the beating. He and Faulkner were both shot. Faulkner died. Several witnesses saw the shooter flee the scene. Mumia, meanwhile, lay unconscious from his own bullet wound.
The police claimed it was Mumia who shot Officer Faulkner. However, there are many reasons to suspect otherwise. How could an unconscious man have been seen fleeing the scene of the shooting? This obviously doesn't make sense. This is only the beginning of the problems with his conviction.
Mumia had a fundamentally unfair trial. The judge in his original trial, Judge Albert Sabo, a life long member of the Fraternal Order of Police, was a racist and wanted Mumia dead from the beginning. He was overheard at the trial by Terri Maurer-Carter, award winning court reporter, saying, "Yeah, and I'm going to help 'em fry the nigger." He forbad Mumia from defending himself because he made the jury "nervous." Mumia was not allowed to be at his own trial. Judge Sabo systematically removed all but one black juror from the jury. There is no way a trial, in this judge's courtroom, good have been fair.
There were other serious flaws with the trial. Mumia's history with the Black Panthers, a political party, were used by prosecutors as a reason for giving Mumia the death penalty, something later ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Mumia was asked if he had said, "All power to the people." He admitted that, yes, he had. The District Attorney was later reprimanded for withholding evidence in another trial. Judge Sabo instructed jury, before they were to deliberate about whether to sentence Mumia to die, ""You are not being asked to kill anybody" because Mumia will get "appeal after appeal after appeal." This was also later ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. In one of Mumia's appeals Federal District Court Judge William H. Yohn Jr. ruled that in US courts, "innocence is no defense.
The problems with Mumia's conviction go beyond the procedural. Ballistics evidence shows that Daniel Faulkner was killed by a 44 caliber bullet. However, Mumia's gun was a 38 caliber.
Police officers claimed Mumia had confessed to the murder at the hospital, at the trail yet they did not make this claim until two months after the incident, right after he had filed police brutality charges. At the time of the incident the officer guarding Mumia wrote in his report, "The n
The "Nature" article he refers to can be found here however im not sure I believe he is who he says he is because this article has no mention of Poincare space. Not to mention the history of this poster as a troll.
Actually applets are not allowed to open an internet connection to anywhere except where they came from so the data collection server must also be the web server.
The cameras are owned and controlled by the state or city or whatever and therefor are much more credible. Its much more difficult to make the arguement that some cop photoshop'd a photo to show someone running a read light than it is to argue that this woman photoshop'd a photo to put on her porn site to get more members with a fetish for public nudity.

What if McBride just takes his money and runs to cuba with it. Won't be able to sue him then.
well clearly he is anti american policy. But he backs up what he says. Surely you aren't saying anyone that is critical of america is evil?

That is by far the funniest post I have ever read.

I have to agree that it is sad that Beagle 2 will not get to carry out its mition. I really didn't mean it as an anti european stab at all.
When you think about it we are at the very begining stages of space travel. It is much like the parent says.
I have been waiting all week to say that!

can you set up a torrent again and post a link I would like to see this.
I would advise weed over cigarettes.

Oh, I understand now.
