Yup, get accused of state sponsored hacking, pick out a few undesirables that have protested, arrest them as hackers. Even if they never saw a keyboard. win-win!

So true. Introducing Policy for Technical problems is always a winner.
One only need to look at cyber security these days, we have dictionaries full of policies,
yet last year was full of high level breaches.

Throw up new box on the internet. How long is it safe these days?
"They shouldn't try to break into" != (They won't || They can't)
Counter-intelligence deserves a place in a security kit these days.
Not only can it waste their time, you should get logging of who is
knocking on the door.

Of course, denial has always been a great security tool.

I have never come close to the minimum lethal dose (injected) of 3.2 grams, but I have done as much as 1.2 grams in a 24 hour period. It's great for focusing on 1 project. A few jitters, but not horrible - compared to the time when I went cold turkey on sugar for 2 months and had a 44 ounce unnamed citrus soda. It was hell trying to play Duke Nukem.

I'm a bit aware that my ordering a pound of white powder and having it sent through the mail may raise some eyebrows, but they'll just have to find their own. It's MINE, all mine, I tell ya!

"GUNS DON'T MAKE THE INDIVIDUAL SAFER. THEY INCREASE THE RISK OF DEATH AND GUNSHOT WOUNDS FOR EVERYONE AROUND."

cars don't make the individual safer. they increase the risk of death and injury for everyone around.

knives don't make the individual safer. they increase the risk of death and slashing wounds for everyone around.

ex_wives don't make the individual safer. they increase the risk of financial ruin for everyone around.

where would you like to stop?

    welcome to life. play nice with the others, as best you can, and remember, no one gets out alive.

Nice post, grantspassalan.

      I would only add that the first 10 amendments are called "The Bill of Rights" and have additional weight of a promise to the People when they were accepted. Changing them shouldn't be as easy as, say, the 18th amendment was. For just reasons.

The only one of the 23 executive orders that bear public scrutiny is allowing the CDC to study gun violence. Why fund this through the CDC when there is an agency with FIREARMS in it's name. I'd imagine it's to come up with some bullshit laws like OSHA has been involved with. IMHO

Hell I don't get why this hasn't been modded up. I was taught to shoot by an neighbor in the Air Force. My father was busy doing something in Vietnam, so he didn't get the opportunity. I was 8. The lady who commented above is bang on, there were guns. We respected guns, but humans even more so. Why should she be penalized for the criminal actions of others? I hope you get to enjoy shooting those targets forever - it was promised to you.

+1 too funny
