Heads across the sky...

I don't know if it's invisible text, or just classified... There must be two 1st amendments, one for the school children and the other for the courts that basically says, "Ignore all that bullshit and lock 'em up."

Shit, the FBI and NSA, et al put the kibosh on that before the damn things hit the streets. Instead they made a law that prohibits the sale of full spectrum scanners to the public, like was supposed to make them secure...

One of our greatest assets is our collective sense of humour.

And subtlety...

Maybe you should take a closer look at the pending 'free trade' deals they're trying to hide from public view, where global business contracts usurp local (you remember local, right?) law.

Yeah, but if they don't do it face to face, they can't get married.

Really, and National Geographic without pictures is like Anita Bryant without orange juice.
