Private companies shouldn't contract law enforcement directly... maintaining vehicles and equipment sure, I don't expect an officer to change the oil in their cruiser. That contracted service should still be open to request.

Antidepressants bother me also, sure there may be times when they are useful for reasons that make sense. If your wife cheats on you with your best friend and then takes the car and the house in the divorce... chances are pills won't help.

I once told a professor that he should change the title of his statistics course to "lying with numbers made fun".

Often times people will cut down a sample or leave out important information in a summary just to promote a point, it's disingenuous.

If they are a private security firm contracting with local law enforcement then wouldn't local law enforcement still be required to comply with open records requests concerning that contract and services provided? I contracted that out, shouldn't alleviate the burden of records keeping or requests.

That's not true they were more common than gas at one point but since gas cars have greater range and were cheaper the electric car eventually lost popularity.

I began college with 1 year of microcomputers and switched to Applied Arts. I didn't think computers were ready for prime time but shortly after I finished college windows 3.0 was released and computers were suddenly in every other household. I tried my hand at teaching for a year and then went to work at pc company that I won't name and started at the very bottom {tech support}. Followed by a couple dsl providers, then telecom, and now I'm a developer.

I'm not so sure I would call them motor cycle gangs anymore at least not in the mid-west they are more like motor cycle clubs and they do a lot of charity work.

My brother joined mensa when he was in college at the urging of one of his professors, but didn't like it. He is smart and always has a bunch of interesting projects going in his spare time, but rarely finishes any of them.

Hydroelectric does work and works well unfortunately a hydroelectric dam has other immediate environmental considerations when being constructed.

I live at close to sea level even if I am not changing time zones any altitude over 700 meters can cause me to have altitude sickness, Denver is about 1600 meters and every time I go it's like having a bad case of the flu.

They are not profiting from public parking in the way these people are. They are being contracted by the city to provide a wanted service just like the construction crews contracted to do road repairs.

At no point did the city contract anyone to sit in a parking space on a crowded street and auction it off to highest bidder because the people cried out to the city officials that there were not enough douches on the road.

The city (at least the one I live in) contracts that service, not only are you responsible for the tow fee you are also responsible for a fine should you leave your car parked to long it is tagged for fine after 72 hours (as an abandoned vehicle) and towed after an additional 48 hours. I'm not sure how long you have to get it out of the city impound but if you don't they eventually auction them off.

Most of the vehicles towed and impounded here are just broke down and left on the side of the road.

I pay taxes that are used to build and maintain roads including public parking, why on earth would I allow a third party to make money off public parking if it's not re-invested into the road system (hopefully to address problems with parking).

I need something that has a poor selection or can't be found locally... Google would be the only place I have ever clicked on an add and bought an item... I was also specifically searching for it though.

Many candidates would end up doing time in the trenches of local and state government, I'm not so sure you can say everyone would be inexperienced if there was a limited term for congress.

So just one years worth of the US's plastic waist could be turned in 192 million barrels unfortunately they can't handle that kind of volume.

The roughly 21k barrel produced by a facility like this in a year would make a very tiny dent in in the 6.89 billion barrels a year we use http://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/...
