    Notice I said "a guy", rather than "a suspect" or "an inmate" or perhaps more apropos to our current social trend "a detainee".

    They can use these on ANYONE. And they WILL. And people will get cancer and die because of it, if it is allowed to continue for too long.

    No, I don't think they would. They might demand that MEXICAN authorities go after you, and failure to do so would cause an international incident, but they can't come after you directly. This action is outrageous.

    There are some places. Chile is a popular destination, though I am thinking something more tropical. I'll go lay in the sun and drink coconut juice until all this fascism collapses in on itself, and some nation comes to its senses and adopts freedom as their primary policy and goal.

    The US is fairly free now, sure, but it is rapidly deteriorating. This deterioration won't stop. Better to head someplace that is less free, but getting more free, like China, or fairly free and stable, like numerous nations in the Caribbean, Latin America, and Asia. This cancer affects Western countries the most, or so it seems to me.

    Giving a guy cancer is more convenient than actually dong your job in a reasonable and non-invasive manner.

    Rarely "unarmed". More likely "younger, stronger, and armed with a knife or blunt object".

    Ah yes, the old "correlation equals causation" argument.

    Read Freakonomics. The fall in violent crime in New York was because of the legalization of abortions, where unwanted and neglected children are far more likely to become criminals.

    A pool is more dangerous than a firearm, and they almost always kill children. Should we outlaw pools?

    Ok, show me a year where there isn't one single violent crime in New York City, and then we will all acknowledge that you are right.

    Terrorists didn't use guns to take over planes on 9/11. They certainly didn't use guns on the ground.

    This country is done. If Ron Paul doesn't win the presidency, I will begin making preparations to leave.

    No-one should wonder any more how or why the Germans failed to stand up against the ever increasing brutality of their government, or why so many Jews failed to flee it. We're living it.

    Considering that this particular incarnation would likely use a highly processed and EXPENSIVE form of silver (last time I checked, nanosilver cost about $10,000 a kilo, about ten times the current price, I doubt you would have any problem getting them to sell it to you.

    And you should also note that silver is dramatically underpriced as it is, and as a result, we have eaten through literally thousands of years of stockpiles. World stockpiles are the lowest they have been since the time of the Spartans, yet as this article demonstrates, more and more new uses for the remaining silver keep appearing.

    Not really. If you eat seafood between the Rockies and the Appalachians you are probably eating Gulf seafood. It's fine. It was a problem for perhaps a year after the spill. Those few areas that are still having problems are blocked off from fishing.

    Uhhh, the dead zone in the Gulf was there long before the oil spill. It is caused by run off from fertilized farmland coming out of the mouth of the Mississippi. Further, it does not encompass the entire Gulf, or even 1% of it.
