Blaming the committee, group or department is a cop out. You should know that by now.

By this argument, we need to strengthen our right to openly carry swords and nunchaku.
I need my own navy of laser appointed sharks, sirrah!
In short, the 2nd amendment favors the rich because they can arm themselves to the hilt, should they wish. Not very equal, is it?
Did you just make a "life isn't fair" argument?
Nope. I didn't. Read it again.
Well, yeah, raping children and giving them drugs, it's pretty illegal, but has nothing to do with the 2nd Amendment.
At the time there were limited arms (you took about 2 minutes to reload) vs able to empty a couple clips in that same amount of time, now.
Further, rifle, cannon and naval mines were about all there were. The most literal interpretation of that 2nd amendment means I could possess nuclear weapons, bacterial weapons, chemical weapons, and were I wealthy enough, my own tanks, APCs, fighter jets, bombers, etc. In short, the 2nd amendment favors the rich because they can arm themselves to the hilt, should they wish. Not very equal, is it?
and we are one step closer to a 1984 'Big Brother is watching' world....
and active investigations only my ass -they will stockpile this for the rest of our lives and when they find some association 20 years from now they will backtrack all the way to all other associations NSA 'metadata' style with the same deniability.

Let's see how they handle that, as I keep messing around with facial hair 8^{)>
Don't worry Ninja cat will distract them.
These lolcat pictures sure do help me focus on work!
And all these extreme political view posts, too!
Where's Antonio Prohias when you need him?
Having done some off-road driving the big advantage here is when you crest a steep hill and need to see what is immediately on the other side of the crest. A variation on this is when you crest a hill, on a narrow trail, which may be curved, which makes it nearly impossible to see what is beyond and which way you need to turn to stay on track or avoid a hazard, which you can't get out and see.
It's nice, but not something you couldn't have rigged yourself and I'm pretty sure kits exist for.
I was going to read all of this post, but someone mentioned Game of Thrones and I was temporarily distracted.
Snowden says NSA spied on everyone.
Even if he doesn't say it, assume so.
I've added 1 free app.
That. Is. All.
It's a tax. It's so some people can spend money without going to the trouble of earning it.
It takes a lot of money to run a city. Several of California's larger cities are near bankrupt (yeah, yeah, don't honor contracts on retirement, blah, blah, blah) Keeping SFO afloat means the city is always looking for a way to stick it to people. One of these days Golden Gate Park will be crammed with parking meters (or those pay stations) The city is becoming less friendly to tourism. Why bother with festivals and stuff when you keep robbing visitors.
You can stay with a random SF resident.
Could be a furry, could be a militant lesbian. The only thing guaranteed, it won't be boring.
Yeah, you'll probably found your car has been towed by the city (even if it isn't there - this is a major source of tourism income)
Your computer account is overdrawn. Please see Big Brother.
