  1. Re:See: Bans on Drugs, Abortion and Flag Burning. on Judge Strikes Down Part of Patriot Act · · Score: 1

    It's obvious you don't live in a rural area, where mass transit would be completely unfeasable.

    Nonsense, automation is the key, just like elevators. The same tracks that are capable of delivering goods to the city can also deliver people. And it can be safely automated. It's the corruption that killed that business.

    So why give them more?

    How would get more influence than they already have, unless we give it to them? They still have to deal with majority rule.

    Ahh yes, I get it. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need."

    ?? What does that statement have to do with the price of rice? I'm simply saying that if I have to pay taxes, so should they.

    Socialized cars would make sure everybody has the means to drive themselves to work, but that doesn't make it a good (let alone feasable) idea.

    It's called "mass transit". It even comes with a chauffeur, so nobody can ever blame you for an accident. Can't beat that with a stick. It's a very good idea. Professional, qualified drivers, not the tens of thousands of drunks operating dangerous machinery we have today.

    Don't you realize that if you start taxing churches, you legitimize their stake in government?? I'd think that's the last thing you'd want.

    They already have too much influence. They are amongst the richest organizations in the world, and they still don't pay taxes. Totally unfair.

    Well, luckily this guy is still alive to take the case to court. But the courts don't always work for everybody. Here we have a case where the state's attorney says you must submit to an arrest, even an illegal one. It also appears here that you must submit to being shot and killed with no expectation of any kind of justice. And people wonder why there is no respect for the law. Well, the law has to show respect for us.

    Well, let's be honest. Any program or OS that requires activation deserves a good bashing, and we should not support it in any fashion. And I proudly champion those who develope workarounds. Those who complain about bootleggers while benefiting from them as Microsoft and Adobe do are just as hypocritical as gay bashing republicans.

And somebody's doing pretty well for for it. So get some more popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the show. This is what IP law is all about. I'm not sure what else you could expect, but this is what you get from it.
