Now go back to your corner and redefine "arms" to include fun things like assault weapons and exclude scary things like vials of anthrax and nuclear weapons.
IF the intention of the 2nd Ammendment isn't merely to have a means of providing food for one's family by killing game- IF it is to protect us, as a last resort, from a tyranical leader taking over the country, then it does follow that arms includes EVERYTHING the US government currently uses- including assault weapons like the M-16, anthrax, poison gas, and yes, nuclear weapons. If not- well- better be prepared for your definition to become reality- militia=terrorist cell.
Implying that Democrats are fighting for our free speech? Bah!
More implying that other choices- such as the libertarians, real liberals, conservatives, and socialists support free speech rights far more than the neo* whackos.
Wasn't it the Clinton administration that gave beginnings of Congress's desperate grasp at Internet pornograpy controls (ala COPA)? Didn't they twist arms to try to implement Clipper?
Neoliberal whacko != liberal; his wife also tried to implement a so-called universal health care plan that would have left exactly the same people in charge (HMO executives) who are sucking the most money out of the current system.
To be sure, Republicans trample our rights, including free speech, but if you believe that Democrats are protecting those right, then I've got a bridge to sell you.
Republicans are overt- democrats are covert. Those who actually believe in those rights are a minority- especially when those rights conflict with earning a profit.
And in so doing- they voted for the person most likely to take away 1st Ammendment rights. The person they trusted more had already betrayed them- repeatedly, from the "liberalization" of trade with southeast asia to the standing down of our air force on September 11, 2001 to the friendship with terrorists like Prince Bandar of Saudi Arabia, this guy has done nothing OTHER than betray that trust- but I'll agree- the people elected who they could better understand. Given American business today- such betrayal of ethics and decency is quite common.
Well, if the purpose of the 2nd is to defend the 1st, then I'd have to say a certain law against the 1st (the law against nuclear proliferation among the people) has already defeated the 2nd (because that's the only weapon you can really use against the federal government and hope to win).
Based on November's vote, 51% of Americans don't believe in the First Ammendment anymore anyway- and think the second is far more important. Why should we be surprised that our kids follow suit
At least they haven't done the obvious yet- RFID-equiped guard dogs. It wouldn't take much- an 8-barelled flamethrower on 8 motion detectors stacked on top of a mobile platform that disarms when a person has the correct RFID badge- and you'd have the perfect guard duty robot.
I'm sure the Native Amercans considered the new Europeans to be illegals... see where it got them...
Still do- and it's getting them the same thing today- resource grabs by corporations causing unemployment and alcoholism to run rampant on the reservations...Cascadians, aka Kwakiutals, aka The First Nation, realize that we are in the position of basically being an occupied and oppressed people, yes. So why should the white Europeans continue to make the same mistake, especially after massive mismanagement of the immigration system allowed 20 hijackers to cross the border despite badly faked passports, incomplete visa application forms, and FBI arrest warrents? Or a million people+ a year to cross the Arizona desert?
I'm not so sure Bush and Thatcher aren't, and weren't, power-grab dictators with evil schemes. Merely because their evil schemes relate more to money than to killing people makes them somehow good? And Clinton was just as evil and power mad. But the real evil is this- we haven't increased security one iota since 9-11. The borders are just as pourous as ever, more illegals are coming across than ever. Iraq has nothing to do with al Qaida aside from a few Iraqi agents eating in the same restaruants in Paris as Mohammed Atta- at least until we attacked, then we drew al Qaida there by giving them a huge fucking target of 150,000 US citizens. Nothing we've done so far in the war on terror has made the United States more safe from another 9-11 style attack, it's all been a waste of taxpayer resources and money.
It's called the "House of Lords" and is roughly analogous to our Senate. Just as the "House of Commons" is roughly analogous to our "House of Represenatives".
I think it was because they could actually vary the battle damage easier with a fleet of models. The *best* thing, back in the 1970s, about SW and BG vs ST was that everything on Star Trek always looked brand spakin' new (in TNG and beyond the explaination was that everything popped out of a replicator- and they're doing much better with Enterprise on this aspect despite the CGI). Star Wars X-wings and A-wings *looked* like they were cobled together by rebels on the run, and BG vipers in the 1970s LOOKED like they were the product of a human civilization where everybody lived to be 200 and was on the run from the Cylons all the time. The moddern BG suffers from only having two full-size mockups for filming viper cockpit scenes, as well as the viper Mark VIIs that look like the cartoonist from The Jetsons invaded Colonial Fleet Design....
But not as intended- I'm not stupid enough to buy the sticker, but this story just reminded me that I needed to plug in my cell phone while at work today, thus extending my battery life....
This would affect the price over TIME exactly how? The house has ALWAYS been 3 blocks from the High School- any detriment would be in the base price I paid 6 years ago.
It's an unpopulated area- that's why you don't hear about more murders. The last three I can think of all happened within city limits of either Seaside, Coos Bay, or Canon Beach. The fourth that happened near happened in a State Park.
Whether it's true or not, the implied connection to the war was that money and personnel were being funneled away from regular law enforcement to the military because of the war in Iraq.
I hadn't seen F911- so I didn't know- but I'd have to say based on what I know of State Funding, Clinton's dealings with NAFTA, H-1bs, and the WTO had more to do with the lack of law enforcement in Oregon than Bush's little war on the cheap. Of course- Bush has had 4 years to do something about those problems as well, and hasn't done a damn thing.
Not PORTLAND- BEAVERTON. You know, that place on the OTHER side of the West Hills? Washington County, not Multnomah County.
On the plus side, the vacancy of office space left by the.com bust also led to us getting a lot of your Portland Area jobs- as companies gave up high rent space and the Multnomah County Income Tax to move to low-rent Beaverton.
CP-Baseline is in Beaverton? I thought that was Hillsboro- but then again, the way Beaverton, Hillsboro, and other cities have been annexing land in that area, it's hard to tell WHAT city you're in at any given address- or even if you're in a city (the Nike Campus, for instance, is officially still unincorporated Washington County- even though it's surrounded on all sides by Beaverton). Lucky you moving out when you did- I'd have to go bankrupt FIRST to be able to move out.
Where are you getting YOUR information? My home is in central Beaverton- right smack dab 3 blocks from the High School- and independant appraisals in 2003 and 2004 showed a $10k DECLINE in my home value. The previous appraisal was done before I purchased in 1998- and even then, the increase between 1998 and 2004 (6 years) was less than 30k.
That's true- because in Oregon parts of the beach are still the State Highway System. What MM doesn't tell you is that there are also 8 fully operational Coast Guard bases, 2 National Guard Bases, and the rest of the Oregon Coast that isn't covered is right on the edge of the continental plate and is protected by huge jagged rocks, pounding surf, and the ghost of Bandage Man.
And I'm hoping this does something for home prices in the area- which have been in a slump since the.com bubble burst (average residential occupancy in Washington County is at 25%, which is great for renters but murder on homeowners trying to refinance or sell). That- and maybe it will do something about the county's 12% unemployment in the high tech sector.
Excuse me that I don't think it is very Godly to force an lame old lady to traipse all over town to fill one grocery bag because you have killed the retailer "in the name of God".
Thus showing yourself to be an atheistic troll who denies God, right?:-) You just don't get the idea of economic success without profit, so give up right now.
How about a museum ON a dead rock floating in space? This just cries for colonization- I want an appartment whose last line in the address is 2001DA42....
Worse yet, she and Riker will travel back in time to set an insidious series of events in place that...
that...
Can't be resolved in only 40 minutes thus requiring a multi-part episode to be continued next season! (what, isn't this the way they've gotten out of cancelations, script writer strikes, etc before?)

Umm chief, our Senate's doing just fine over here.
As long as you do the Chancilor/President/Emperor's bidding, your Senate usually does just fine.
In Episode I & II, Darth Sidious gets plenty of extra screen time- if you haven't figured it out Palpatine IS Darth Sidious.
