...the ones in my yard are already apparently roundup resistant.
I dont' have that problem. Maybe because I didn't buy them from Monsanto. Don't be surprised if Monsanto did make GM dandelions. So they can sell you "new and improved" Round up next year.
This is one of the oldest complaints about GM crops, and obviously a valid one. As soon as Monsantos seeds contaminate the world's food supply, they'll own it all. Still want to keep this IP nonsense going? If you're Monsanto, I would guess so. If this continues, prepare for REAL famine and riots! I'm sorry, but any judge that allows this, is truly corrupt, if not legally, then morally. It is up to us to DEMAND labeling and them not to buy this junk. Otherwise we are in real trouble.
There is a huge infrastructure built around prohibition now. Private prisons, various police agencies, some local municipalities are making big profits fron it. Not to mention corrupt gov't officials. RICO is being used by the gov't to steal property. Furthermore, because weed needs no processing other than drying, anybody can grow their own, so I don't believe it will be the big money maker that other drugs would. For the people in power, the status quo works pretty darn well.
Also if you buy drugs. Because of prohibition, all that money is off the books. Pretty easy to hide that money. Remember, drug use doesn't support terrorism, prohibition does. Now that the Taliban no longer control Afganistan, opium production is back up to "normal", producing 75% of the world's supply. Makes me suspicious of what our real intentions are there.
You and I have discussed this before, and I just posted on this to someone else, but I need your take. Why not take their property and garnish a big chunk their income for a nice long time? It could provide income for the state as opposed to spending tax payer money providing the spammer three squares and medical expenses at club fed. If we need to, we can put a "dog" collar on them.
...knowing they will eventually plea-bargain down to a few charges which will get them only a few years in prison.
What? and lock them up with all those dangerous pot smokers? Just take their property and garnish their income for a few(many) years. That would be more productive all around, and be a net income for the state. Remember supporting a prison sentence costs us money, but would be a boom for the prison industry.
you actually get an explanation?? I just get put on hold, and then lose the connection when battery on my wireless phone poops out. Hint: Use a speaker phone.
So you are the one rattling around in my head, stealing my thoughts and posting before I even get here!:-) Even Paul Harvey, a good advocate of personal responsibility, said during the Columbine thing that food allergies can play a very significant role on a person's psyche. Specifically sugar. He brought it up because of the way the soda vendors are pushing (just like heroin dealers) their products on to the students. I have no idea about this situation, but before they start pumping all sorts of drugs into her, it would be nice if they took your post to heart, and take a look. I hope he has a doctor that's not just a shill for the pharmaceutical agencies. I always wonder who suffers more from these kind of diseases, the sufferer or their loved ones.
...It seems to exist only for lazy people who cannot drag themselves to the store, and it adds more polluting, dangerous trucks to the streets.
That would almost make sense if every day was sunny and 20 degrees Celsius. One of the many benefits of the big city is conveniences like these. I, for one, hope it works out. PeaPod in Chicago was a disaster a few years ago. Maybe now they have the kinks worked out now. Unless they can dig tunnels for service and cargo vehicles (something else they used to have in Chicago and could have been restored if they didn't have that nasty flood), the streets should be reserved for trucks and such, and people should demand and use good public transport for personal travel within the city. Goodness knows, they pay enough taxes. Shopping is no fun when the temps are -20 outside. Also, at least most truck drivers are professionals. Can't say the same for the average dope that drives 5 miles to work every day. Truck drivers are general much safer than car drivers (that includes you cabbies)
Hey, Scott, hope you see this. We finally found something we can agree on! Yay!
that with all that IP protection out there, they would be innovating like crazy. Maybe they're too busy suing each other. No money left over for innovation anymore. It all went to the lawyers. C'est la vie.
Ha! That's funny as hell. I think I would save the bamboo shoots for inserting into a spammer. We all know where, right? And reserve a few for the people that buy from them, without whom, this would not be such a big issue.

I think that we would be having a more productive conversation.
Oh, you mean like this? An actual response could have kept that discussion going. I guess you weren't interested. Did you ever read the other post I linked for you a while back? By the way, the answer to your question is no, it wasn't.
That moment is long past.
Still hung up on the messenger instead of the message, are we? I'm not the only one to see through that ruse. I checked and found others had the same problem with you on that matter. Don't ask me to do it again. All that mousing around hurts like hell.
Ah, so now I know something else! You may live on the West Coast!
Of... The Atlantic Ocean? The Pacific Ocean? North America? Central America? I can see those gears spinning away.:-)
In reference to your your first statement, If I was to sell something or attempt to get people to see my web site, I would buy an ad, not take advantage of Slashdot's good will and "sneak" it in everytime I post. I would consider that freeloading. That's something the "pro-copyrighters" are always accusing the "pirates" of. (and, no this is not my first day with quotation marks. I learned a little bit about them a few months ago.Though, I do forget to close them sometimes.)

...I think who I am and what I do is important to understanding my position on the issues that I discuss here on Slashdot.
I don't need to sell anything to understand my position on the issues.
...why are you so very unwilling to reveal (even vaguely) what you do to put the food on your table, and the roof over your head?
A) 'cause it's driving you nuts? B) See my first reply in this post. C) It's a secret. Only my hairdresser knows for sure. D) The moment it becomes relevent, you'll be the first to know. E) It's lunchtime...gotta go. Later, dude.:-)
versions of solitare can be made? Video games just aren't that much fun it if they don't dump a cup full of quarters occasionally. And the free drinks don't hurt either.
Reverse the words chinese and spammers and your answer is most likely yes.
Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought I was merely reversing the headline. May I assume that if it came from China they indeed would be Chinese? This is getting recursive. I think I need to reboot...

Is the judge going to rule before Longhorn comes out?
Patents are great for business. They're just lousy for anything else.

Why don't you take up arms against the (in my view) illegal practice of refusing to allow organic farmers to label their foods as non-GM...
I wonder if they can call it "non-patentable".

I think he forgot to add "Addams". :-)
I am guessing there will be little correctly labeled.
About 29%?

One can of coke has IIRC much less than one cup of coffees worth of caffeine.
:-) Talk about mixing drugs... I'm sticking to "Puppy Uppers" and "Doggy Downers"
The sugar probably makes up for that. It can give you a real "Jolt"
