While I was speaking of personal anecdotes, there are also public examples that are less extreme than my personal experiences, but that still show the mindset. There are many cases of Christians in government positions who allow the use of public property to display permanent Christian themes but deny the same to other religions. Such instances are pretty easy to find on Google.
POWs have far more rights than the prisoners in Guantanamo, at least for those countries that actually act in accordance to the Geneva Convention. The US is no longer one of those countries.
And what would you propose that the country do about all the resources produced in rural areas when the infrastructure to produce them domestically does not exist, as would be the case in your example? While many (perhaps most) subsidies are abusive, the creation of a national road system, electrical grid, and telecommunications grid have made certain things possible that otherwise would not have been.
Those damn urbanites should be self-reliant with their food, electricity generation, and production of raw materials in that case. The rural areas of the country shouldn't have to subsidize urbanites with non-monetary services. </sarcasm>
Non-democracies are usually associated with internal atrocities, while democracies are usually associated with external atrocities. This is true of Rome, Germany, and the USA, Great Britain, and France, to name a few.
That would require forwarded ports on the gateway being used by the thief. It's not like consumer machines are ever connected directly to a public IP in almost all cases. That's limited to a direct connection to a cable modem or use of dial-up, or other even more rare use cases.
No, proof is not necessary. That statute uses "a preponderance of evidence" as the bar in forfeiture cases, which is a much lower burden to establish. You also must file a claim within 35 days to contest the seizure before it is permanent, and you must do so at your own cost. For amounts 4 figures or less, the cost of filing a claim will amount to more than the value of the seizure.
There are many police departments around the country which receive most of their funding from selling assets seized in civil forfeiture laws. It has become the norm in many places, rather than the exception it used to be.
Only those that don't comply with labeling requirements and certain safety features are illegal (whether import or domestic production). Anything that complies is legal, regardless of power output.
The illegal imports are lasers sold for pointing purposes. Those are restricted to =5mW.
Craft using other methods of re-entry and landing do not have the payload capacity of a heavy lift rocket, and heavy lift rockets are incredibly expensive to build.
If the amortized cost of the technology to deploy VTVL rockets does not exceed the cost to build new rockets, it's an economic win and will reduce the cost per pound of putting objects into orbit.
We are not a country of majority rule. If that were true, there would be no Constitution.
Majority rule means the majority may do anything they like. While there are but shreds of the Constitution left, there are still things the majority is not allowed to do.
I have experienced the opposite, at least with fundamentalist Christians. There are many who would like nothing more than to turn the government into a theocracy.
Not only the police, but obviously the court that denied him bail prior to a trial that may never happen (because he's charged with a terrorist crime).
How did you get the idea Stalin thought the government should have limited powers? Under his government, they had the power to do anything they liked to anyone they liked with impunity. His government was not deprived of any power.
The Full Faith and Credit Clause of the US Constitution should mean they don't have the power to pick and choose at all.
Unfortunately, that's not how it works in the real world, since the Constitution is only recognized by the government to the extent that they can't get away with violating it in certain ways. They'll violate it in any way they possibly can get away with though.

I believe in this case they meant "uniformed combatants" to be the only people who can claim protections under the Geneva Convention.
I didn't say they fell under the Geneva Convention, I said they do not have the same rights parity with POWs.

While there was negligence on both parts, I definitely agree that the contractor should be penalized for failure to perform the promised service.

Funny, I've never lived in a rural area that had apartments available for rent.

That's not true. Unprepared food is taxed in Idaho. I'm not aware of other states doing so, but I know that one for sure.
In addition, at least in the Washington example the poor pay no sales tax on food, which makes up a great deal of most poor families' monthly budgets.
many poor people pay for telecommunications services out of their own pockets.
That's becoming increasingly untrue. Anyone on food stamps now qualifies for subsidized or free telephone services under Federal programs.

Who do you think most thieves are?

For amounts 4 figures or less, the cost of filing a claim will amount to more than the value of the seizure.
Not only that, the Federal statute requires the filing of a claim to 35 days from the seizure. After that, you cannot regain your property.

This is Texas. There is no sanity in their political or legal institutions.
