I can see two differences if Romney was the victor. One, the press has been felating Obama since he first ran for office - just ask Hillary on that score. I'm pretty certain that this would have had more traction in our press if Romney was around. Secondly, Romney at least would have had the political luxury of pointing to the prior administration and saying, "I'm not them - I'll correct their errors."

Instead, Obama is in a position where he has to defend what his administration has been doing for over four years. There's a big difference in the inertia. Romney wouldn't have been as politically vested in preserving the status quo and would have been able to spin it into a political plus by saying "my administration changed things."

Better yet, I want them to get a warrant on the basis that there is probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed, which is the standard required by the fourth amendment. Whether a cause is 'just' is in the eye of the beholder and in the Obama administration that largely involves crying "terrorism" or "drugs" and waiving their hands.

Some actually might. For some people cheating is less about the physical exchange than the emotional - they might appreciate it if their men can get their physical needs attended to without the risk of the emotional attachment, baby making or STDs for that matter. If however the man gets his needs attended to by some random hookup, that woman may want to have that emotional connection or create a family bond through an unintended (for him) pregnancy or bring home some microscopic invaders.

Hell, the troops are going to get their jones off one way or another so the options to a government sanctioned brothel would be infidelity or an unsanctioned brothel. That could even be a security concern - unsanctioned brothels could be a nasty attack vector on troops - give the ladies at the local unsanctioned brothels some HIV (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/28/SheMayLookCleanBut.jpg) and let the disease do their work.

From the almighty Wikipedia:

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_escape#Significance_of_solar_winds

I would also think that solar winds would be a steady source of hydrogen atoms as it consists largely of hydrogen ions (also known as protons (H+)). Once in the atmosphere they would capture electrons to become stable hydrogen. This has been detected on the moon for instance (only 10% of the solar wind ions deflect off the moon and 90% become embedded in the lunar surface and become neutral hydrogen atoms by picking up free electrons). Since Venus has very little water (approximately .002% of the atmosphere versus .40% for earth's atmosphere), apparently the stripping the by solar winds is at least as great as the contributed hydrogen.

If we're going to get into the world of fantasy, I would think that setting up a sun-facing device that created a weak magnetic field far enough out in front of Venus that was strong enough to slow the rain of protons but not deflect them, could result in Venus gradually building up a water canopy . . .

There's no evidence that GZ accosted anyone. There is substantial evidence that a TM attacked GZ without provocation (GZ's action of following TM from a distance is not legally cognizable as such) and brutally attacked GZ using the sidewalk as his weapon. TM was not merely "armed only with skittles" as the prosecution argued - the cement instrument is a blunt object and it doesn't matter under the law whether the blunt object is being forcefully applied to a victim's head or their head forcefully applied to the blunt object. TM also pounded GZ's face resulting in a black eye and broken nose. TM threatened to kill GZ and was acting accordingly. GZ had the right to defend his life. Period. Full stop.

Someone better let Joe Biden in on this . . . He's a big believer in firing warning shots:

One of the things that courts consider when looking at whether communication evidence should be suppressed under the 4th is the measures that the person took to keep the communication private - in short, is there an expectation of privacy? While Duck Duck Go's search engine does not provide perfect opacity, it does provide evidence that you intended to keep your search request private and that you had an expectation of privacy that is worth protection.

As near as I can tell we already are - the latest Gallup poll says that only 10% of Americans have confidence in Congress and 80% think that Congress is doing serious damage to our country. Our government is anything but representative of the will of the people.

Yeah, anytime someone claims we live in a representative democracy, I point to Congress's approval rating. BTW, the latest Gallup poll shows that only 10% of Americans have confidence in our Congress and 80% feel they are doing serious harm to our country.

This is known as the Coolidge Effect, after a joke that went around about President Calvin Coolidge:

It is also the reason why high availability of internet porn may be having negative consequences on the male mind - in nature we wouldn't have an unlimited supply of different females to get it on with and our brain doesn't differentiate between the excitement generated from porn and the real thing. See the TED talk on "The Great Porn Experiment" and Your Brain on Porn.

Apparently, this test would disqualify four of the Supreme Court justices from being able to vote. (See Heller v. District of Columbia decision).

There's a White House petition set up to request the matter be dropped. The FBI & the DOJ are both executive branch offices. Hit the petition to help Deric Lostutter - stop the senseless persecution of someone who helped justice get done!

LOL. Well, glad you have a sense of humor about it. I didn't take any offense and your's was a more detailed source so I would have understood if they chose your submission. Take care.
