Your post is a complete contradiction. First you say "the REAL reason it's going to happen is because import businesses want it. I actually import goods from China/India, and it takes weeks to deliver. Eliminating this shipping time is absolutely key in a competitive environment."

Then you say, 'The days of 'Hard-Working-Corporations-Can-Solve-All-Our-Problems' are over. It is now time for government to solve all our problems."

Which is it? If you want it so bad for your company, you should pay for it. If it is such a good deal, someone with capitol will pony up the money and be raking it in from all of the people like you who want faster shipping times.

You do realize that there is a difference between "the water cure" and waterboarding right? The water cure involves forcing the recipient to drink large quantities of water resulting in gastric distension and can lead to death. The Japanese when using this during WWII would then smack the recipient's belly and cause the stomach to burst. Waterboarding involves running water over the face of the recipient, simulating drowning, not forcing them to drink it.

Except that it is not based on an officer's hunch. They have to have already made contact with you for a legal reason, ie a traffic stop, and they have to have "reasonable articulable suspicion" which is by definition the opposite of a hunch.

The thing that gets me is that if I click on one of the new "links" on the left or on my gmail inbox, I cant use the back button on my mouse to get back to the home page. I have to go back to the top left and click the "home" button. Why do so many websites now have to break the way the web worked by not using normal hyperlinks?
