If by 'long settled', you mean since 2001, then fine. And if you mean legal, you mean that Congress waived it's constitutional war-making authority, then sure. As the lone protestor in Congress stated:
“It was a blank check to the president to attack anyone involved in the Sept. 11 events — anywhere, in any country, without regard to our nation’s long-term foreign policy, economic and national security interests, and without time limit. In granting these overly broad powers, the Congress failed its responsibility to understand the dimensions of its declaration. I could not support such a grant of war-making authority to the president; I believe it would put more innocent lives at risk.”
As for Bin Laden. Uh, no. Al Qaida just wants the US out of the middle east. Like most Americans do.
These are just the ones in Colorado: "Colorado – 206 chemical spills were linked to 48 cases of water contamination in 2008 alone. In Parachutte, CO, 1.6 million gallons of fracking fluid leaked and were transported by groundwater. According to state records, it seeped out the side of a cliff, forming a frozen waterfall 200 feet high. It melted into a tributary of the Colorado River. (ProPublica and Vanity Fair). Durango, Colorado – an emergency room nurse almost died of organ failure after handling the clothes of a rig worker who had been splashed in a fracking fluid spill. The doctors were unable to learn the chemical makeup of the fluid because the information is proprietary – companies are not required to disclose the contents of chemicals used. "
The EPA documented that fracking fluids are mixing with ground water.
Yes, this is a draft (not preliminary) report. However, unless the oil&gas industry buys out the EPA completely, they're not going to change their findings.
“The presence of synthetic compounds such as glycol ethersand the assortment of other organic components is explained as the result of direct mixing of hydraulic fracturing fluids with ground water in the Pavillion gas field”

We're all shipwrecked there, one way or another.
Forced budgets should be required for all premarital counseling. Try getting along when you're living at 75% of your income.

Large databases is all the NSA really needs.
Let me know when Congress declares war and makes it legal.
Otherwise, try to stop pissing off the rest of the world and it won't blow up in your own face so much. Pun most definitely intended.
I didn't say person. I said university.
Is it really hard to believe that top universities would lease out their curriculum for millions? I'd think it would be hard to believe they wouldn't.
Still didn't stop the three letter agencies from GPS tracking our, and their, phones.
I wonder how much it costs to sue all the way to the Supreme Court. And lose.
Well, for some reason, professors think they're better than them.
No one was targeted. Everyone was spied on.
No one was targeted except everyone? Yeah, that's illegal. Thus, classified.
Also, metadata is just as valuable as actual data, if not moreso. Which is why they collect it.
He saved up enough to get out.
Imagine if you didn't have to pay for housing, sex or vacations, while earning (actually) $125k, with no dependents.
And don't get a wife who never grew up learning to live on a budget.
Or have kids that like to do fun things. Like sports, or camps.
Man, I'd be living the high life if it wasn't for my life.
That's great, but how would you feel if the university made $1M/yr off your work by licensing it. And you got nothing. Or got fired.
"Facts" are rarely the *whole* truth, on either side of any debate.
In other words, everyone cherry picks for their own benefit.
Put the phone on your desk/shelf like your dell/g3/tv/speakers/vcr, and it will work just as well as they do.
Carry it with you everywhere, subject to your own clumsiness, and it won't.
It was classified because spying on all of America was illegal regardless of the three letter group doing it, but especially the NSA.
Is it illegal to break classification on something that is illegal?
How come we've only needed that excuse in times of war, and the last 12 years?
Metaphor.
Meta - phor.
M e t a - p h o r
A figure of speech.
Stand by him figuratively.
As in protest.
Not all go to Hong Kong.
Everyone thinks he's a hero.
But no one is willing to stand alongside him and shake a collective fist against the government for fear of 'reprisals'.
We've lost.
Pretty sure if China wants him, they'll just go take him. It's a big enough of a prize to be worth the pissing contest with HK.
Maybe you should ask why the EPA isn't investigating some/any/all of these incidents? Can you say lobbying?

Can't believe that's something new in Texas. Or any Southern state.
Ah, yes. The totally unbiased WSJ wrote a totally unbaised, and unsigned, pseudo-counter article.
As if that's ever happened.

Go fuck yourself.
