Animal Farm was propaganda designed to make you think exactly that. Why do you think it was deemed a "classic" and required reading for the smart kids? I'll tell you why, so they could all think alike and line up when more kool-aid was offered.

I guess someone should start filing FOIA forms at all police departments, or at least for the major ones.

It has been proven in studies that they behave like jack-booted thugs because they look like jack-booted thugs. It isn't the way people react to them, it is the way they are costumed that makes them behave according to their image. Try it for yourself, dress up in a similar style, check if you don't also start to behave like an authoritarian prick.

We should be privy to the data shouldn't we?

Your client's defense could be that his operation is so fantastic that there is no way at all that any molecules escaped the confining vessel and none were outside of the vessel either because you run a clean operation with well trained packing staff in a clean room environment. You present pictures of your clean room and documentation of your IS0-2000 drug packing process to show that given your level of preparation there was no way the dog would have found anything at all. Therefore the dog signaled on cue and the arrest is invalid.

224 houses on 52 acres sounds like sprawling suburbs. Housing density is way too low and the amount of homes won't even make a ding, he should plunk down like 2,500 houses or condos or townhomes so that they price out closer to what a family can afford.

Really? They paid? I though we the taxpayers paid when they were handed bailouts.
Your last two sentences contradict your first four, make up your mind. yo.

So, you're a fanboy and the right tool for the job for you will always be provided by microsoft, that's cool, just be upfront about it, ok?

I don't think that anyone would think you are a hipster for liking M$. Is that what you meant to write or did you mistype?

Prepare to be disappointed. Again.

Yeah, I was thinking that as well. What's the bfd about a web browser anyhow? Be compatible with standards, be fast, look somewhat like the other browsers, what's there really to talk about?

Yeah! Hilarious!

Do you guys get paid overtime to work on Saturday? I guess because two of you reinforce each other that means the zeitgeist in slashdot has shifted and it is now cool to like m$ and ragetard to hate on it? LOLZ, I don't think so.
