Tell that to the judges when they "authorize" civil commitment "treatment" "services" (services which cant be pre-emptively refused, a bit like SPAM services by Alan Ralsky) based on "diagnosis" on having these "diseases" and being "danger" to self. Doctor's pseudoreligion for racketeering.

"I sell to leftists and I sell to rightists. I even sell to pacifists, but they're not the most regular customers." -Yuri Orlow, Lord of War . It's just the way of the world to punish someone related for someone else has committed, or could commit a crime, or something is designated as crime, to prevent crime, because it according to ur government "unbiased" expert causes crime.

This is against all the freedom of speech that we have had for so long, but we will abide with the law and bring the cookbook (as we know it) to an end." ... I guess so.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sid_Meier's_Pirates! Gameplay Pirates! is a single-player game. The player receives a letter of marque authorizing service as a privateer for Spain, the Dutch Republic, England, or France in the Caribbean. The player's loyalties may change over the course of the game; he may also hold rank with multiple countries and may turn to piracy at any time. Gameplay is open-ended; the player may choose to attack enemy ships or towns, hunt pirates, seek buried treasure, rescue long-lost family members, or even avoid violence altogether and seek to increase his wealth through trade. The game also has no predetermined end, although as time goes on, it becomes more difficult to recruit crew members. Also, as the player character ages, fighting becomes more difficult, and deteriorating health will eventually force the character into retirement. The game ends when the player retires, at which point he is given a position in his future life, from beggar to King's advisor, based on accumulated wealth, land, rank, marital status, and other accomplishments.

Supreme Court Declines Jack Thompson Appeal 100

eldavojohn writes "Jack Thompson was disbarred last year in Florida, putting a halt to annoying lawsuits targeting game makers and the constitutional rights of gamers. Well, he had appealed to the United States Supreme Court (scheduled to be heard last Friday) to get this overturned, but instead they declined to even hear his appeal. They wouldn't even give him the time to review his appeal, so it appears his disbarment for life stands. Florida had declined to file a response to Thompson's appeal, and it turns out they didn't need to. Sad day for Jack Thompson, but a great day for gamers everywhere." This comes shortly after Thompson was frustrated by the vetoing of some legislation he promoted in Utah.
