Did you not read 1984? Everything "Big Brother" did was LEGAL under their system of laws. That is were we are headed.
Congress will enact the laws (as they are trying to do here), the Supreme Court will uphold them and the Executive Branch will enforce them. It will not be one Branch running completely a-muck (even though it seems that way now.)
I CHOOSE to either to go or not to go to places that allow smoking.
The Keywords are I CHOOSE. Not you, not the Government.
An Air-horn would either get it confiscated (saw that happen) or have you thrown out (that too) by THE OWNER of the establishment. His Establishment, His Rules -- Not yours, not mine, not the Government's.
It's basically about China solidifying its control over Tibet. The People of Tibet only recognize the Dalai Lama as the Leader of Tibet. The Communist Chinese Government since it's invasion has been seizing control of the Tibetan Buddhist sect when they installed their own choice for the Panchen Lama (the #2 leader) in 1995. The true Panchen Lama, who was selected by the Dalai Lama and several other Monks using Time Honoured Ancient Methods, was arrested by the Chinese making him the youngest Political Prisoner at the age of 6.
GPS chips in phones are but one solution for the Enhanced 911 (E-911) mandates in many States. In Florida, Nextel used software to enable pinpointing the (not necessarily exact) location of a device.
With RFID chips already embedded in your Passport and the ability of the Authorities to locate your cell through triangulation, the potential already exists here.
My DSL provider sent out a Windows Only configuration CD, but a quick call to BellSouth support and they walked me through configuring my MoDem using a web browser. All I needed to do was put in my credentials in the Advanced Properties screen and click "Connect."
You're just repeating a lie perpetrated by those that benefit from abusing laborers that can't organize, can't complain and can't file workers comp. claims.
So then, are you on-board with "Amnesty" for the exploited illegals or do you think that they will be out of a job as soon as they become legal?
BTW, I have seen the videos of consulting agencies teaching businesses how to bring in skilled immigrants on work VISAs to cut their costs even when there are qualified citizens to fill those jobs.
From the threads above by ASCAP members, they have a voting ability, so yeah, they approve, even by their silence.
Are you even in your teens yet? No. But my youngest two still are.
The "writers" aren't necessarily the ones who have the rights to these songs. Every time you hear a Beatles' song in a commercial, it's Michael Jackson who hears "Chi-ching!"
The hardest-working people in the U.S. are, almost without fail, immigrants. You mean like that good old fashioned rugged individualism that Limbaugh keeps espousing? It's obvious then, as more and more multi-generation Americans fall into that "Entitlement" mindset, the demand for skilled and unskilled immigrant workers (legal or not) will continue to rise.
It follows along the same lines as paying a Playwright royalties for each performance of one his works. It's like paying for permission to profit off of his composition.
If you can point me to proof that there's any artist out there that really wants things to be this way, I'd be shocked. If Artists didn't want it this way, they would have never joined ASCAP in the first place.

Flamebait? Some Mods just can't think outside of the box!

We're just a few laws away from having a Police State controlling every aspect of our lives.
...and this was done under the guise of "So 911 can find you!"
Perhaps you meant this sketch?
Professors get paid to author College/High School math textbooks, ergo, good.
Software is written by Mathmaticans working for Private Firms, professors not needed, ergo BAD.
Novell and IBM had deeper pockets than SCO. Microsoft infused enough cash to keep SCO going for awhile.
... as in an "Easter Egg" in programming, et cetera.
MOD Parent up!
Excellent points!! Mod parent UP
This is true. It means the EU could no longer research the Holocaust are get information on Darfur .

Is this the beginning of the end for patent trolls?

What about you?

All-in-all you wrote an outstanding commentary.
