Yes, consider the fact that most energy produced is from steam power. Coal burning plants & nuclear power plants are just complex steam creators. It seems like they could be combined into both electric & water production plants.
First, I am very sorry to hear about your mother. I hope you and your family are healing from that terrible tragedy. However, I feel that the justice system is meant to be impartial and I'm not sure if victims relatives should have any weight on the punishment of the crime. Imagine the reverse, where a victim is pushing for the death penalty and there are factors which would make an impartial jury give something less... for example a drunk driving accident.
No, we're going to go with what the trial determined. Death penalty.
Your definition of revenge is my definition of justice in this case, because society at large is OK with it and not just the victim's relatives.
"Justice—as logically, legally, and ethically defined—isn’t really about “getting even” or experiencing a spiteful joy in retaliation. Instead, it’s about righting a wrong that most members of society (as opposed to simply the alleged victim) would agree is morally culpable. And the presumably unbiased (i.e., unemotional) moral rightness of such justice is based on cultural or community standards of fairness and equity. Whereas revenge has a certain selfish quality to it"
'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' does not mean you get to rape & kill without punishment. That is what this guy did and his punishment was justified in my opinion.
I would be fine giving this particular man the death penalty.
Because some crimes deserve the ultimate penalty. Read what this guy did and then tell me he doesn't deserve to die.
Just to play devil's advocate, how is this more invasive than DUI checkpoints?
You can change any amendment with only five words and completely change its meaning.
For example, try tacking this onto any of them - for only white land owners.
Indeed it does originate from a long time ago. There's this quote from the bible, Joel 2:31 (Common English Bible):
" The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood before the great and dreadful day of the LORD comes.".
Or it could also be a reference to the folklore name 'red moon'. Every full moon has a 'cutsie, abstract, or dramatic name' which predates modern astronomy.

Somewhat related, I just discovered dropbox also updated their privacy policy effective since March 24.
I really don't care, this is a private company and they can hire who they want to. That being said, I assumed dropbox already was infiltrated by the NSA.
Wow, it's like the exact opposite of what happened in Detroit. Prices are going up because business are moving in... Detroit declared bankruptcy and rent is dirt cheap there... so what part are you talking about - the vandalism?
Exactly! Think how many hard working people come to America from other countries to invest in their own education and then put that talent to work for the U.S. immediately afterwards.
The last app I built was in PhoneGap and it was so much nicer than objective-C. Plus we had a website ready to go at the same time to match the app, minus a couple of phone specific features.
