    No, I would never say anything like that to the judge. I might say, "What evidence?" Or it might be best not to say anything at all. The burden is on them.

    I repeat, A private individual has no obligation to assist any investigation by any authority. It is too easy to declare anything as evidence to be confiscated for any reason. I might not feel so strongly if I thought the law was not being abused. Under the present circumstances, I see no need to cooperate. It appears some resistance is needed to regain our authority over government servants.

    No, let Google and all the other private sites go nuts, and then insure that the FTC and FDA and USGA, you name it, become trustworthy sources of information, that aren't in the hands of the people they regulate, by electing politicians who will turn them around. I don't care how many phonies are out there. The only part of the net we have a right to regulate is that run by government with taxpayer dollars. In other words, .gov and .mil are under public control.

    Let burn down some more rain forest to grow more cane to feed this monster. What's wrong with using algae that requires one fifth the space as corn or sugar and probably less maintenance? If it can be made into bio-diesel, then I'm sure it will make great battery "acid" too. Obviously all biomass will provide some kind of energy, but for the best bang for the buck and highest energy density, algae is it. Check out the yields here to see why we should NOT use corn.

    So let's put them in jail, support them for a large part of their lives, give criminals an easy way to make money, ruin millions of lives in a bogus war, loose the tax on consumption...

    What is being overlooked here are the huge profits generated by prohibition on both sides of the law and on and off the books. The purpose behind all prohibitions of goods of any kind is purely economic. And with drugs in the US, race played a part. Unlike alcohol and tobacco, marijuana requires very little infrastructure to produce and consume. When it's so easy to "grow yer own", it will never be the big money maker that alcohol and tobacco and other drugs are. Prohibition is the answer to that little problem. Profitability is up in all the "right" sectors, law enforcement, government "services", the prison industry is doing great. Corruption in government is up, respect for the law is down, but we're talking about 20% of the world's economy at least. Accountants wield more power than lawyers. Heh, actually they're the two ends of this parasite. A symbiotic relationship if there ever was one. The funny thing is that after hours, it's easier to score a bag of weed than a six pack. Easier still to get coke...for all the obvious reasons. Prohibition is very logical in a certain business sense, and in a world run by pirates, that the only sense there is. This all only goes to show that, despite all our chrome covered gadgets, we are still as primitive as we ever were.

    Just in case people actually believe that. It is necessary to say that you are incorrect. Note the commas. Very important. Also the word "the", as in THE people. Not necessarily of the militia.

    It is quite simply a system of interconnected electronic devices that has, quite predictably, acquired a life of its own, a mere extension of the biological units that created it. As long as we chase that illusive pot of gold, this is going to continue. The easy money is just too tempting. The net is just another tool in this thousands of years old pursuit. The spammers are the symptom. You need to go to the source of their power. That might be the greed of their customers trying to make a quick buck, just like the spammers.
