Define long-term. 45 years for a planet that's 4.5 billion years old doesn't even qualify as a rounding error. It's just 0. Heck even the presumed 8,000 years of geological data used by the global warming alarmists doesn't even qualify as a rounding error. It's just 0, also.

If charges are never brought, he can seek Federal Section 1983 malicious prosecution lawsuit. But likely, the woman who reported him and the associate busted in April gave info against him. Most likely the associate who offered info/implicated Fogel in exchange for guilty plea on lesser charges.

Holder already instituted a moratorium at the Federal level earlier this year, disallowing local and state law enforcement from using Federal law to justify civil forfeiture. http://time.com/3672140/civil-forfeiture-assets-holder/ It's the states that need fixing. Only two (Minnesota and New...

Absolute numbers, yes. That's stating the obvious... Per capita, somebody needs to dig up the numbers...

I would too if President Bill ran the gov't like Chairman Bill did - crucifying anyone and everyone with blistering "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard" explosions should they dare to vocalize and/or demonstrate their incompetence. I project that would be upwards of 50-100 times a day...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.... administrations come and go, but the bureaucracy is permanent. To enact real, tangible change, you have to shake up the bureaucracy first. Mass firings. Stripping them of pay and benefits. Loss of power, authority, and prestige. Unless...

forgot to include "... and take your money and property..."

By extension, the Feds would consider it illegal to configure your Google account to turn off the logging of your Google and YouTube search histories.

Dalton, is that you?

I think the iPhone and Android need a P2P solution where the phone, once connected via WiFi or the cell net, automatically establishes a Tor connection, then creates a VPN tunnel through Tor to some random endpoint in the P2P mesh beyond the Tor exit node. Once established, the phone routes all...

If they'd gotten their stories straight, baiting wouldn't have ever come up or been an issue. Better yet, if they had waited to talk to their lawyer first.... With a decent lawyer, they can probably get it overturned on appeal. The baiting aspect is dubious. Anyone could claim they were...

Not all of them. That Montana homeowner that killed the German exchange student was charged and convicted.

Not dissimilar from a Mandelbrot set or y = 1/x -> 0 as X gets larger. There is no starting/stopping point. Just very close to zero.

The last few recessions/big market declines had "shots across the bow", warning that the bull market was about to end. The dot-com boom had the AOL-Time Warner merger in Jan 2000, and the MicroStrategy miss in Feb 2000 as shots across the bow before the big initial drops in March and April...

The military-industrial complex is the white mouse holding the marionette strings. Our elected officials are the puppets in a grand cosmic farce, teased and taunted by the puppet master (i.e the white mouse). Nothing like watching a mischievous person whisper something in the ear of person A...

To be completely racist, why not round all the blacks and send them back to Africa. We gave the Jewish people their own little state. They'll get a whole continent. It'd be up to them to build the society they choose. Whether they want to emulate the US or recreate Lord of the Flies...

Why not install a generator and enough lights around the perimeter so that if the motion detector trips for human-size objects, the property lights up like a football stadium. Add in alarms, and I'm pretty sure nobody will attempt to break into your house the after the first breech. Might...

I believe petty criminals are like teenagers - always testing the boundaries to see what they get away with. If you invite them to test the boundary, they will. Their ego convinces them they are smart, while the rest of us know they aren't. Stupidity has a high threshold to overcome, and...

Interesting stories told by the lucky winners. Survivorship bias, anyone???

Good soil, irrigation (when it rains), and Mediterranean climate... ;-)
