      Monsanto and Autism - Half of all kids by 2025?

      Exactly, there is a very curious phenomenon where people confuse quantity of life with quality of life. I won't fall back on anecdotal evidence as my case is hardly standard, but I suspect this generation has a very good chance of being the one that breaks the trend of each generation living...

      Monsanto and Autism - Half of all kids by 2025?

      A Preamble: I am speaking my opinion and nothing more, I haven’t facts or sources handy to back up my thoughts. In short, I could be wrong. Autism is getting blown out of proportion; yes, there appears to be an increase in cases, however this will happen with any disorder that suddenly gets...

      Separation of church and state?

      I don’t really get the big deal about this. History has always touched upon religion because religion has historically been important. It was a lesson in different cultures and, in a good class, how these cultures encountered and dealt with one another; in a great class, it’d highlight that...

      Judge Rules Suspect Can Be Required To Unlock Phone With Fingerprint

      Actually, despite the seeming similarity between passcodes and biometric authentication, I can respect the Court’s logic here. The passcode means divulging information against your will, this is something protected; the fingerprint, rightly or wrongly, is legally something that is taken as a...

      Tech companies should be required...

      Credit should be given where credit is due; and this time around, it goes to CathyInBlue. Seriously, I could have sworn I read about a book, but I haven't been able to track down a source (though, admittedly, I haven't spent much time on that endeavor). Perhaps it was my own little plot to...

      Maine nurse won't observe Ebola quarantine - your take?

      You’ll have to excuse my bewilderment with each iteration of the selfish and stupid argument; I mean, we’re talking about a medical professional, which should at least put a dent in the stupid argument; and she volunteered to save the lives of strangers. Not neighbors, not Americans, but folks...

      What's the difference......

      If the Democrats are all about siphoning money to the poor; and if the poor have all this money given to them; wouldn't they cease being poor and stop being Democrats as a result? Also, if Democrats are only supported by the poor and the proverbial takers, one must wonder how they raise so much...

      Tech companies should be required...

      I remember watching that first case, the Boucher case. In all honesty, I was hoping it would rise up to the Supreme Court level. Really, I would like it to be widely confirmed that the Fifth Amendment applies to passwords and being forced to incriminate oneself. Obviously lower judges don't...

      Tech companies should be required...

      One of the curious things of late is how political questions once answered seem to be coming up again. The government even went so far as to find that encryption is a “munition,” and thus banned for export. This whole silly idea was settled, in part, when PGP creator Phil Zimmermann published...

      "Breaking" - Iraq had WMDs.

      Pardon the intrusion and forgive me if I’m wrong, it’s been a long day and I’m exhausted. However, I seem to remember a pitch to war that included lines akin to: “the smoking gun may be a mushroom cloud” and a whole big affair about yellow cake uranium. Yes, chemical weapons are WMDs, but I...

      Update: No charges for officers in botched drug raid that disfigured toddler

      No worries, I understand. Truth be told, I suppose I may have an ulterior motive: if you go on making good arguments, I won’t have to. :P The drug war is an objective failure, though. The sheer amount of money poured into that black hole boggles the mind, to say nothing of the man hours...

      Update: No charges for officers in botched drug raid that disfigured toddler

      Not that I disagree with you, but debates should be made on the merits of the truth and ideas on a matter, not emotional responses. One could easily procure pictures of children exposed to caustic meth-producing chemicals; the picture of forever crippled kids who lived too close to a suspected...

      Update: No charges for officers in botched drug raid that disfigured toddler

      Negligent homicide isn’t a civil charge and it even has negligence right there in the name. Mens rea is helpful in a case, but obviously one doesn’t need it to be found guilty. Ignorance, I’ve been told, is no defense or excuse. That, I think, is where things apply here: they knew or...

      SC Trooper Shoots man for alleged seatbelt violation

      Oh, please don’t misconstrue that post as a retraction of my earlier writing. :P Training is the problem, but it’s a bit deeper than that; there is training and there is the habit, the feeling of the institution, and this is the hardest of things to change. Contrast that with a policy fix...

      SC Trooper Shoots man for alleged seatbelt violation

      Alright, here is my problem with such responses to incidents: it puts no impetus on betterment or change. It is to remove all responsibility from all players; it is to say that if all players are human – or at least similar or relatable humans – that no lessons should be drawn. In fact, it is...

      SC Trooper Shoots man for alleged seatbelt violation

      You know, I remember Driver’s Ed, it was one of those Defensive Driving ones; my teacher was an ex-cop. I remember doing drills on how to handle a pull over and, by chance, I got to be the first example. The cop said stand up, so I stood up. Now, for whatever reason, I decided to put my...

      Obama and how liberals think

      My apologies for the misattribution. Not quite sure how that came about, but I should have caught it. As for the rest, I suppose that is fair enough. Personally, I think there is about as much overlap between Liberal and Libertarian as there is with Conservative and Libertarian. I won’t go...

      Obama and how liberals think

      First off, did you seriously not notice anyone on the Left before college? You do realize we’re all over the place. Remove the gun issue and you’d see it more openly, I think, but nevermind that. Second, God wasn’t originally welcome in the Pledge of Allegiance, so..I’m not real sure what to...

      Obama and how liberals think

      Is it so beyond all that is fathomable that a Progressive would have some ideas in common with a Libertarian? It makes me laugh – and cringe, if I were to be honest – each time I hear such things. I may disagree with you on religion, the role of government, the proper way to run an economy; I...
