    For instance, the lines

    Now me? I work for the Feds, mostly sitting on my ass doing nothing.

    Ladies and gentlemen, your tax dollars at work.

    Ah, but the parts of the day I actually *am* doing something are very productive. And, as a former Fire Fighter, I can tell you that *most* of my day usually did not involve anything more strenuous than wiping down the truck.

    Eh, at least it keeps you from any job more technically challenging than filling a fry bag...or emptying a Doritos bag.

    My father, who has smoked pot for 50+ years, is a retired math professor.

    Now me? I work for the Feds, mostly sitting on my ass doing nothing. I don't use marijuana.

    Do your own search. I'm not arguing with you, I'm *telling* you something. You are perfictlay capable of finding these things yourself. And what's with your attitude?

    Are you sure of that? Because I can find lists at FDA. Maybe the FDA doesn't know?

    How do you feel about The Drug Companies? Should *they* be able to hide the locations of their pharmaceutical plants from the public?

    Look, if these folks want to be in the *BUSINESS* of manufacturing marijuana, they need to take the same types of precautions as the plan that makes Oxycodone.

    And, according to one guy quoted in the story (yes, I RTFA, did you?), that's exactly his attitude: He doesn't care because he's got security.

    "Medical marijuana" is just a scam.

    You're right. For many, it's a way around misguided drug laws that should be changed.

    The Pima County (Arizona) Sheriff Clarence Dupnik nailed it:

    "When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government. The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous," the sheriff said. "And unfortunately, Arizona I think has become the capital. We have become the mecca for prejudice and bigotry."

    MLS policies should forbid a program that you download from some random website from even opening a file that is "Top Secret," let alone sending a copy to some other system.

    I seriously question the idea that Classified was downloaded from any Government / Military computers by this malware, SIPRNET and NIPRNET are two distinct networks. No one is opening greeting card email on SIPRNET. It simply isn't happening.

    There is a difference between For Official Use Only (FOUO), which can be on any gov computer, and actual classified material.

    Now, *Contractors*, who knows...

    If the US would take such drastic measures, China would probably answer by selling their $2.5 trillions in foreign exchange reserves, most of them US Dollars. That would devalue the USD and EUR to virtually zero, bringing about economic turmoil of unprecedented magnitude.
