And they are no doubt aided by the vast mass of Canadians who simply don't give a shit one way or t'other.

Here's why gun control arguments are basically useless. . . Fact: In the United States, a vanishingly small number of homicides have been committed with automatic weapons. One side sees this as a reason automatic weapons should not be banned/tightly regulated. The other side sees this a wild...

Corporations are people too, y'know. Mitt Romney said so!

It's part of establishing one's place in the social heirarchy. Some do it by natural characteristics, some do it by kindness and generosity, some do it by tearing others down. I sometimes wonder if anything can be done about it. I know plenty of mothers who say they recognized their kids'...

It don't have to be that way. It ain't a law of physics. Maybe "creative solutions," which are both wrong and stupid 90% of the time, are better than government policies.

I imagine it'll outlive anything you ever said, or ever will say. The language changes over time, tax. Seriously, what benefit do you derive from whining about it? You weren't confused.

Because English is immutable and usage never, EVER changes. For ther he was nat lyk a cloysterer With a thredbare cope, as is a povre scoler, But he was lyk a maister or a pope. Of double worstede was his semycope, That rounded as a belle out of the presse. --"The Friar's Tale", Chaucer, The...

Yeah, but they also said "Californy is the place ya oughta be. . ." Not such great advice.

I know what a lot of 'em do with it. Targeted advertising. I'm working on a machine to press junk mail into firelogs. I'll make a zillion quatloos!

Agreed. Figuring out all the relevant laws would be tangle-of-yarn stuff. I think somebody with a proper warrant in hand is entitled to assume they have a right to execute it. It's the magistrate's job to make sure the warrant is appropriately limited, and to make sure the executor is aware...

Perfectly good term. And in the Anglo-descended legal traditions, with a few limited exceptions, also the law.

I find it deeply disturbing that the great tradition of civil disobedience, both non-violent and violent, established and nurtured by some of the lions of civilization around the world, seems to be increasingly descending into performative assholes shrieking (and arsonizing) over fake issues...
