There are large corporations such as google & netflix that spent money lobbying as well. Does anyone know the amount of lobbying money spent for both sides of the argument?

Good luck to you and thank you for sharing your story. I sincerely hope your wife stays cancer free and with the least amount of pain & side effects.

This seems like an overly dramatized article based on one sentence. Obviously there's been progress in cancer treatments and some cures for specific cancers.

FTA: One strategy might be to against these cells. Yervoy, a drug that does just that, eliminated melanoma in — and counting. An infusion of Yervoy and a similar drug, nivolumab, has kept some lung cancer patients disease-free for about six years so far. "Their cancer hasn't come back yet. It might never come back," Ben Creelan, an oncologist at Moffitt Cancer Center. "I think it's the most exciting thing in decades."

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.
