One thing about Virginia: It is a VERY special case in that huge numbers of people there are employed either directly by the Federal Government or through very large federal contractors. The Virginia economy always does fantastically because of this, has home values that bounce back more quickly after recessions, etc.
Answer #2: Any unskilled employee who'd like to have a paycheck if they live in a right to work state where "at will" employment predominates. Which unsurprisingly happens to be the states with the lowest unemployment rates right now.
And the highest percentage of minimum-wage and sub-par wages, I'm sure.
TFA said the land was indeed owned by Magana (22 acres).
"Mendoza and Magana asked Callahan to throw out the video evidence on Fourth Amendment grounds, noting that "No Trespassing" signs were posted throughout the heavily wooded, 22-acre property owned by Magana and that it also had a locked gate. "
How is this any different than if a police officer goes on to your property, roots around in your garbage can and finds that you're dealing crack or leading an underage prostitution ring?
Garbage is a special case. By putting it at the curb, you're "relinquishing control" of it and saying you don't want it anymore. But a cop CANNOT come onto your property and search for evidence (sans warrant) on your property in a container that is not clearly a garbage can.
I live in Illinois, which is a 2-party state when it comes to AUDIO recording. Which means both the recorder AND the recordee must be aware a recording is taking place.
Let's say these cameras have microphones. And since these cameras are placed WITHOUT a warrant, the police get no special protection (ability to wiretap). So would the cops be guilty of wiretapping by recording audio without my consent without a warrant?

If you're going to get a Fed security clearance of any kind, you're going to *start* the process by filling out this form (127 pages, although large parts are skipped for most people):
Just so you know the kinds of questions they start with. It gets more invasive from there. They generally only care about the last 7 years of your life, however.
Oh, and skip to page 96 if you want to get to the "what drugs have you done?" part.
With Thomas Jefferson taking the lead in the Virginia legislature in 1777, every Revolutionary state government abolished the laws of primogeniture and entail that had served to perpetuate the concentration of inherited property.
Jefferson cited Adam Smith, the hero of free market capitalists everywhere, as the source of his conviction that (as Smith wrote, and Jefferson closely echoed in his own words), "A power to dispose of estates for ever is manifestly absurd. The earth and the fulness of it belongs to every generation, and the preceding one can have no right to bind it up from posterity. Such extension of property is quite unnatural."
Smith said: "There is no point more difficult to account for than the right we conceive men to have to dispose of their goods after death."
Um, you are aware that Apple didn't actually invent the smartphone? They produced a particularly well refined model of smartphone, but the term smartphone itself wasn't even new when the iPhone came out.
How many people have you ever known with a Rio mp3 player? Now how about an iPod?

You were spending more than $300/mo on gasoline for your Avalanche? --------------------- There are more costs to running a car than gas. Every mile you put on it is one mile closer to it being "used up".
Now I have 50/50 Internet (50 Mbps downlink, 50 Mbps uplink with a 250 GB/month cap) for 63$ per month and I'm really enjoying it!
Woah woah woah, 250GB cap with those speeds??
You could use up your entire monthly allotment by maxing out JUST download speeds for 11 hours.
What the hell is the point of speed like that if you can't use it to move lots of data? It's like getting a Ferrari and only being to drive it for 5 hours a month...
And it brought in less revenue. Capital gains cannot be increased without REDUCING revenue. Every economist recognizes this, but the collectivists keep claiming that it doesn't matter "it's an issue of fairness." Well, life ain't fair, and raising taxes to DECREASE revenue and capital seems pretty asinine.
Yeah, what side of the Laffer Curve are we on again? Thought so...
The people that want all of the advantages of living out in the sticks whole accepting none of the downsides, by forcing everyone to pay to eliminate those downsides, are the selfish pricks.
Tell me, where is most of the food you eat produced? In the city or in the sticks? I guess you'd better start growing your own in your...what, apartment?
""Did God have anything to do with Katrina?," people ask. My answer is, he allowed it and perhaps he allowed it to get our attention so that we don't delude ourselves into thinking that all we have to do is put things back the way they were and life will be normal again."

Hmm, maybe I will do a bit of analysis there.

Same goes for Maryland, but to a lesser extent.

An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar.
The 1st says "Pour me a beer"
The 2nd says "Pour me 1/2 of a beer"
The 3rd says "Pout me 1/4 of a beer"
The 4th says "Put me 1/8 of a beer"
The bartender, seeing the infinite number of mathematicians still waiting to order, says "OK, here you go everyone" and pours two beers.
Really? He won all the same states he did in 2008 except for NC and IN.
This is certainly as good, or better, a "mandate" than Bush received in 2004.

Starship Troopers? NO WAY.
That movie is a masterpiece, dripping with satire. A PERFECT tribute to Heinlein and his crazy jingoistic views.
Directed by the same guy who did RoboCop, ALSO dripping with satire.

Girth, not length, is the important factor.

"Dark" refers to radio-dark (from the point of view of the Earth), not absence of sunlight.

And, exactly...what is wrong with that? Are we against success these days? Isn't that the American dream...success....as much as you can attain?
Oh, nothing at all, but the post I responded to basically said "they're both wealthy", which I think is a bit of a false equivalence.
It's like saying that New York and Tokyo are both far from Washington DC, for varying values of far.

Truth is, Obama is rich, too. You can't really do federal politics without being quite wealthy.
Yeah, but Romney has literally 17x the net worth of Obama. More than an order of magnitude.
Seems like apples and oranges to me.

Your move.
Would you rather they panic and we get the AGW equivalent of the Patriot Act, causing a lot of harm for very little real gain?
No, I want them to start hedging against the possibility that AGW will begin affecting us soon. Right now, NOTHING is being done. Start hedging!
