If growing cotton was so profitable, why would Monsanto want to sell seeds? Wouldn't they be better off keeping these seeds and growing the cotton for themselves?

Yes, they are published, in huge books that I can read down at the library. I have to start with the Criminal Code Act 1899, then apply all the amendments that have been voted in over the last 100+ years. And then I have to look at verdicts of court cases in my state that establish presidents about how that law is interpreted. After all that I am not sure if I will have enough time for my day job!
But surely the vast majority of people who take plea bargains are doing so because they are guilty, and because they are being offered a good deal.
That's just it...they are getting a good deal and not being punished as much as they should be!
Well, that's why you get a lawyer -- they should know that stuff. Of course, a public defendant probably doesn't have time or resources to properly research it
That only helps after you have done something that might be a crime. I asked my lawyer about ignorance of the law and she admitted there are large areas of the law that she is unfamiliar with and she herself has broken some laws unknowingly only to find out later that what she did was in fact illegal.
A plea bargain ensures that justice is not done.
Either a guilty person gets less punishment than they deserve or an innocent person gets punished when they deserve no punishment. It's a lose-lose situation.
Of course a bigger problem with the law is that ignorance of the law is no excuse but it's impossible for me to know every law and precedent that applies to me.
Good point. I stand corrected.
Lot's daughters had sex with him, Noah got drunk all by himself and then something happened with one of his sons but the text does not say what - but it was worth a pretty severe curse.
Haha, AFL and 'really touch hitting' in the same sentance - ROTFL!
Don't try that in Australia. BDSM porn is illegal in Australia.
I love my N8 too, and it comes with the hdmi cable included in the box!
Indeed. War is all about exporting bombs.
If you are doing it right anyway!
Than put your show on YouTube?
It's compulsory to go to the polling place and get your name crossed off the list. You can then hand in a blank ballot paper or draw a cartoon on it - nobody will care.
