seriously if you're trying to get someone arrested/fined/sent to court just because they accidentally bumped into you on the sidewalk, then you have a much bigger issue than they do.

All Giuliani has actually achieved with this personal attack is to make himself look like even more of a wanker.

So the best way to frustrate them is to aggressively take down every video and communique they post. Lowers the audience they can reach to recruit, and reduces the incentive for them to do more and more extreme acts "to get attention" if it doesn't work.

Now some people will get up in arms about freedom of speech - however, i would point out that the people making these posts are non-citizens, and they certainly don't believe in freedom of speech (or other freedoms).

Not double-post? :-)

Animals are better at communicating when it comes to predator/prey than humans are. They can detect us further away, and flee en masse, same as birds flocking. Or if you're a herd of elephants, just form a circle with heads out and say the equivalent of "do you really want a piece of this"? For most of our human's existence, we were scavengers, same as the vulture and the hyena, because we couldn't compete.

Any group of humans that got too large to be sustained in it's area would end up attacking each other. If the group was too large, the energy spent continuously going to new foraging grounds would be more than the return, so again, they would turn on each other. Yes, I mean Donner Party style. We still see indications of this today, because humans are more aggressive towards each other than towards other animals. It's a survival trait, because the existence of too many humans in one group until recently always meant starvation.

If we learned anything from The Hitchhiker's Guide, it is that the mice are the supreme species on earth.

What's the point of injecting inferior genes into their brains?

On a more serious note, it will probably be a long time before genetic science can safely determine the source of intelligence or any way to manipulate it. And a long time beyond that to overcome social and legal impediments to using the knowledge in any practical way. Expect to be just as dumb as you are for the rest of your life.

"I'm pretty sure all regulations are available on the internet."

You may find it interesting that the Municipal Code for my current city, and probably yours, is a copyrighted document prepared by a private company. Illegal for you to make a copy without paying them. Our city doesn't have the resources to create such a document. The publisher is able to create a generic municipal code and then make minor alterations for individual cities.

I worked for the private law firm that wrote the Chicago municipal code. The attorney whose name appeared as author was simply the head of a committee, but he had connections and got all the credit. That was a merger of private/public cooperation long ago that probably was beneficial to the City and lucrative for my boss.

Ownership of the law, in written form, will be more commercialized over time. Slashdot readers are pushing for scientific journals to be more 'open' ... This is another place where openness is important.
