Um, when did Canada join ISIS?

I really don't know if the pipeline is as great as those who support it claim. But the oil is coming out of the tar sands with or without it. So I think think the argument for keeping that from happening is moot. The question is, is do we want to transport it via pipeline part of the way, then transfer it to trains and/or trucks and deal with all of the added cost and possible other issues in doing so? Or the possibility of it getting shipped to China. Or simply build the damn thing?

I realize how incompetent the government can be, but just how long is this environmental impact study going to take? It's been going on for at least 4 years that I'm aware of.

Until it plows down a bunch of pedestrians while trying to get a peice of cheese someone dropped on the sidewalk.

Oh, I agree with you. Just that this is a silly measure. If we're going to judge safety by the stupid things people do, alcohol should be reclassified as schedule 1.

It depends on the drug and the city. I haven't paid attention in decades, but cocaine, heroin, and other "imported" drugs were generally coastal, or boarder drugs. It becomes expensive and riskier to transport them to the Midwest. That's why meth became so popular. It could be homegrown.

Totally agree.

So LSD should be one of the safest drugs by that measure. I'm not sure there has ever been an LSD death from toxicity.

Every time a new technology come along some people freak out and the end of life as we know it is threatened. Sometimes the naysayers have a point even, but for the most part life is better. Buggy whip and wagon makers are not the viable career they once were, but look at how many people have jobs manufacturing cars. Not to mention how society has advanced due to motorized vehicles.

Computers supplanted type writers, and all kinds of other stuff. When I was younger copy machines were a similar threat. And color copiers were used to counterfeit currency. I think it wasn't until inkjet printers got really good that the US government started adding elaborate anti-counterfeit features to paper money.

3-D printers are no different. As technology advances, what was once considered valuable becomes out dated and losses it's value as something different replaces it. Aluminum was once more valuable than gold as refining it was very difficult. This is no longer the case. Aluminum has become commonplace, and we're all benefiting because of it. Times change, as does what is considered valuable.

This could be quite different. This will make law enforcement's interest in The Silk Road look like they were supporting it. The last time I checked, there was no death penalty for buying/selling drugs. Treason can still be tried as a capital crime. There will be more three letter agencies watching this than I can probably name.

That would be Gallagher with his sledge-o-matic.

I don't know the laws of all states and cities, but I've been told by a few people that they could not own them.

Here's a story about someone in Canada who was charged with possession.

I know, right? When I first saw the girl in this photo I thought, I'd totally hook up with her. Then I saw that wire coming off of her headphones...

Well, that and my wife and that I'm probably older than her father. But that wire was definitely the deciding factor for me.

As long as he has a way to defeat it
