That's how it starts... you get all friendly with someone, give them that first taste for free, hey, you're their friend. Then they want more, now they've got to pay, and pay they will. Soon you own them, their life is in shambles, they cannot function without you, they live to get that next fix...

If it's not breaking the law when you break the law because you really, really want to reap the rewards of breaking the law, then this would apply to the following: “It’s not breaking the law if you want to rob a bank to get a piece of the American dream for your family if you’re otherwise...

I stay out of the northeast, too. Mainly, it's because whenever I'm there I get loaded out right away, so I'm not there very long.

Well, of course, it's not quite that simplistic, but yeah, it's part of it. It's not like I never sent to Sunday School or Church. I did. I was raised in the church, active in the church, can count on one hand how many times prior to the age of about 23 that I missed Sunday School or Church...

How can it possibly make any difference at all, much less all the difference in the world? Wacko is wacko, man. To concentrate on particular methods, like suicide bombers versus some other method, as if the method itself means squat, isn't even a case of not seeing the forest for the trees, it's...

Friends in high places, indeed. Apple will probably be unsuccessful with this one, just like they have been in previous cases where their secrets were leaked, but there might be a self-inflicted hitch from Gawker... Here is the warrant, seized inventory, and the letter from Gawker to the police...

An utterly predictable response, I have to say. No, not really, there are no differences. It's all just a matter of degrees of wacko. Evangelicals don't do suicide bombings, but they do bomb abortion clinics. They don't behead people on the Internet, but they do walk into gay bars in Roanoke and...

I posted my little blurb about Michael Weinstein and the Military Religious Freedom Foundation in the hopes that those who were clearly unfamiliar with both would go do a little research, and see just what all is happening and what all is at stake, and to see how there is no difference...

Three strikes and you're out? You're kidding, right? You'd give MORE THAN ONE strike before deporting an illegal alien? Illegal aliens should be deported because they are illegal aliens, and for no other reason. The problem is you don't know who is illegal and who is legal. But, if one commits...

Why not? We cry "Foul!" every time a Muslim fails to bow to us. They don't want to be subjugated any more than we do. Which is pretty funny, since most of the arguments against Islam are faith-based arguments. Hey, I know, let's kill 'em all and let God or Allah or Whomever sort them out! It...

I don't know. They might. Lots of western states have special provisions that had to be in there for them to agree to becomes states. Not really. We're technically a federation, which means the sovereignty of the state (is supposed be) superior to the sovereignty of the national government. The...

Are you really saying, in effect, that if the protest had come from the public, or from military or elected officials, that you wouldn't have a problem with it? It's a trick question, be careful. I'm willing to bet that before this story broke you had never even heard of the Military Religious...

It can be a dangerous thing to take Wiki at face value, especially when using things "like lies, dаmned lies and statistics." Well, since evangelicals themselves cannot agree on the definition of evangelical, depending on which definition you use it could be flat out correct to say that...

Using that logic, if his name was SpongeBob SquarePants then Bugs Bunny would be out of favor. He's no more of a Muslim than he is a Christian, and you know it.

Name two. For any bank transaction that involves taxes, a SSN is required. The Patriot Act requires financial institutions to verify customers' identities, which can (not shall, but can) include the use of your SSN if the financial institution wants to use that for verification. There is no...

The problem will all this mess is that, like most things that are problems, this one is mainly due to a lot of people who think they know best are sticking their noses into other people's business and trying to tell them what to do. If I want to die, I should be able to die. Period. And I should...

While immigration is the responsibility of the federal government, what do states do when the government fails to fulfill its Constitutional responsibilities to secure our borders? The inaction of the federal government to secure our borders has actually threatened the sovereignty of the border...

Federal law provides for States to use your SSN for ID purposes at the DMV, but only on the original application. I don't know of any states that still use the SSN for the actual driver's license number, but there might still be a few. Kentucky used to, but stopped that a long time ago. I do...

The idea of a national ID card has many problems, the biggest one being the US Constitution. While the Constitution doesn't explicitly mention a right to privacy, the document itself is dripping with it, as nearly every provision of the Constitution is geared towards liberty, of which privacy is...

Not really. I know what you're saying, but when you know your rights, luck has nothing to do with it. I could have been cuffed and arrested, but still, in the end, my rights would have prevailed. It's like that guy a couple of years or so ago in Oklahoma who got arrested for some really...
