Exactly. Speaking as someone in the utilities business, I welcome the NSA and the work they're doing. It's scary how vulnerable the nation's utility systems are.
Crap like this has been going on for at least ten years. There have been stories nearly every month about some kid getting in trouble for drawing guns, bringing a toy soldier holding a toy gun to school, pointing a gun-shaped chicken nugget at a fellow classmate, having an ax in the trunk of a car, having a butter knife under the seat of a car, pointing a finger and saying 'bang', and having an accidental explosion in chem lab.
Educators, unfortunately, are not the brightest among us. Add to that the fact that schools have insane zero-tolerance policies because of teachers' and administrators' inability to use common sense, and it's no wonder stupid stuff goes on all the time.
The kid in this story may very well be guilty. There's not enough information available to tell. But if he's innocent, he and his family should sue anybody involved. Yes, you can sue individual law enforcement officers if they violate your civil rights.

If you look back a few years, you'll see that Bush had just about the same list of priorities. They all do.
If two cops can't subdue a small Asian woman without tasering her, then the department should consider firing them. They're not worthy of the title "police officer".
God forbid they ever have to go up against a grown man.
When the screen gets too wide you lose color vision in the peripheral visual field. I guess we haven't reached that point yet, but we're getting closer and closer.
Have you actually been to Belize? It's the epitome of bad Central American government. It may be okay for most folks, but you don't want to go there if you have money. They're very good at separating you from your money.
There you go, telling the truth about the UN's view of human rights. They really don't want people reading all the way to the end of that charter. None of your rights is safe with the UN, but fools continue to trust them and defend them (our holy leader Obama being one of them).
I agree with you. My sense of smell is extremely sensitive. Being around people in a social situation is a horrible experience. The chemicals people use to mask their smells are worse than what they're trying to cover up. Simple pure clean is much preferred, though that doesn't last long.
To me odors have texture and color. They can be smooth, rough, dusty, soft, bright yellow, dull red, etc..

We understand that, but the amount was given in USD - United States Dollars.
Don't you mean 30.000 employees?
I think I may be able to donate the whole amount!
I wouldn't hire anybody who admitted to having a Facebook page in the first place. It's a sign of lower intelligence.
I work for the Department of Redundancy Department. Looks right to me!

It's an atoll. It's barely above water.

Why people continue to trust Facebook et al. is beyond me.
Oh, that's right. They're Facebook users.
the old saying, "You can polish a turd, but it's still a turd."
Microsoft is in denial. It's a turd.

Scotty, beam yourself somewhere far, far away. You have no understanding of the Constitution whatsoever.

No need to wait. They're already here. See Washington D.C. for the best examples.
I once spent a weekend on Venus, and she LOVED it!
Oh, you meant the planet, not the stripper. Never mind.
Imagine that! A country that arrests somebody who enters illegally! Wow! The U.S. could learn a lesson.
A million pounds of ground beef may sound like a lot to you, but it's just a drop in the bucket.
U.S beef production is between 25 and 30 BILLION pounds a year.
That's great IF you can use a password that long. My bank limits passwords to 14 characters. Their system would choke on your password.

And it's not even news. We were doing this 30+ years ago!
I bought an item from Amazon two weeks ago and today, on "Cyber Monday", the price is two dollars higher than I paid. Glad I bought it earlier!
Know your prices and start shopping way before Cyber Monday. You just may be paying higher than every day prices.

They don't want to hear that. They ignored it in 2008 and now they're ignoring it in 2012. It just doesn't fit with what they say they believe.
