You sound fun at parties.

But they'd never be forced to testify on it if it potentially harmed them then. Assuming you are saying you should have the right to not "incriminate" yourself in a civil case.

~S

If it extended to civil cases you'd never see anyone successfully sued for defective cars or harsh work conditions, etc.

That, and I'm sure FB has plenty of archive space.

Do you really care if a bunch of yokels want to teach their kids the sky is orange?

Organized crime is a shell of its former glory in the US. It was propped up by Vegas skim for a while but really most of the big guys were done in the 90's. It's not fully gone but nowhere what it once was. The only reason Mexican cartels have the power they do is because of the markup. In fact the pursuit of drugs in Columbia and the Caribbean just succeeded in moving the profitable part to Mexico where the routes had to go through.

The cartels after legalization would be big pharmaceuticals. After all, how would a cartel compete with them if cocaine is 10 cents a gram to produce and sell and can be done through legitimate channels? The drug plazas on the border are not kept alive by less than 1000%+ markups.

This is a short response due to being done on a tablet...

If he's like me, then because his older devices don't support it.

And how do you propose to do this?

~S

So who should be punished? The 130K employees who weren't alive yet when this was happening?

~S

A little off topic I guess, but how did college professors get around the ethical challenge of selling their own books to their class as a requirement and charging whatever they felt like for it?

~S

No, but I'd think that in an extremely censored nation they might only allow citizens to connect through specified egress points or exchanges which could be monitored. I guess the point of the software is to mast that activity, but is it really a stretch to see a government hell bent on controlling its citizens start using a white list?

~S

Wouldn't they just ban anyone connecting to known proxies or any proxy in general that wasn't set up by the authorities?

~S

If they only all rode Harleys as well the circle would be complete.

Like when some asshole starts a war and we get to pay for it?

The people who lose the case will pay for the courts time.
