Today, 08:15 AMRasselas replied to a thread Do Not Ask What Good We Do in General Party Politics, Ideologies & PlatformYes. Hyperbole. Exagerration. You want to think that as you've moved right your opponents have moved left in equal portions, but no objective examination can demonstrate this. The positions Democrats take are mostly to preserve policies that...45 replies | 630 view(s) -
Today, 08:12 AMRasselas replied to a poll How many people are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender?, in Polls & SurveysThe purpose of a poll like this is to point out people's ignorance...sort of like asking how old is the earth and finding out that more than half of Americans like the answer "less than 20K years." Sorry if the rest of us aren't cooperative. It's...41 replies | 260 view(s)

Today, 08:03 AMRasselas replied to a thread Groups Concerned Over Arming Of Domestic Drones in General Political DiscussionThat's what I'm pinning my hopes on? A lack of police resources? I like patrols that examine my front yard. I'm opposed to patrols that routinely give police a view of my backyard. I'm not doing something terrible there, but I think I deserve...188 replies | 1279 view(s)

Today, 07:40 AMRasselas replied to a thread Colin Powell Trashes Mitt Romney's Team Of Foreign Policy Advisers in Current News & EventsMaybe we should just throw it in the 'unsubstantiated invective' round file. That gets emptied regularly to avoid cluttering up otherwise sensible debate. The fact that you can be shitty and insulting doesn't mean you have a point.222 replies | 1655 view(s)

Today, 07:37 AMRasselas replied to a thread Groups Concerned Over Arming Of Domestic Drones in General Political DiscussionI think there continues to be a disconnect between what you're saying and what I'm saying. In all your scenarios, the police already have suspicions are are pursuing them. I'm concerned about using this kind of surveillance to GENERATE suspicions.188 replies | 1279 view(s)

Yesterday, 11:40 PMRasselas replied to a thread Groups Concerned Over Arming Of Domestic Drones in General Political DiscussionI think there's a difference between your neighbor looking at your property from his own and a police officer doing the same thing. The neighbor's ownership of the property affords him the opportunity to look from it to his neighbors. But a...188 replies | 1279 view(s)

Yesterday, 11:33 PMBut this policy doesn't apply to churches, only to businesses that churches run--businesses that do business outside the church itself. Unless the insurance company is the church itself (which I understand is sometimes the case) then their contract...265 replies | 1675 view(s)

Yesterday, 11:29 PMRasselas replied to a thread Colin Powell Trashes Mitt Romney's Team Of Foreign Policy Advisers in Current News & EventsI don't think so. I don't think government should control the means of production for most things. I don't want government owning airlines or railroads or power distribution systems. I do want government to educate people well and to try to raise...222 replies | 1655 view(s)

Yesterday, 11:19 PMRasselas replied to a thread Do Not Ask What Good We Do in General Party Politics, Ideologies & PlatformI don't think that's true. Remember, Obama and Boehner were working on a 'grand compromise,' and in any case Dems have been more compromising than have Republicans. Republicans will accept no tax to cut ratio that involves an increase of more...45 replies | 630 view(s)

Yesterday, 11:00 PMRasselas replied to a thread Colin Powell Trashes Mitt Romney's Team Of Foreign Policy Advisers in Current News & EventsYou know, this is such utter crap.

Yesterday, 10:58 PMI agree, but I don't think their Constitutional rights are being abridged in this case. By their own lights, they won't be judged. Fortunately, they are still subject to the civil law in the US.265 replies | 1675 view(s)

Yesterday, 10:35 PMI guess you aren't Catholic, then? Why do you think you can speak on behalf of that Church? Why would you bother? Oh...right...the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and I can speak for him. Taken at its letter, Catholic dogma says that a priest...265 replies | 1675 view(s)

Yesterday, 10:25 PMRasselas replied to a poll How many people are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender?, in Polls & SurveysKinsey said 10%, but that study has been widely criticized as likely making the number too high.

Yesterday, 10:14 PMRasselas replied to a thread Groups Concerned Over Arming Of Domestic Drones in General Political DiscussionWhat I'm concerned about is random, regular observation of people's curtailed backyards.

Yesterday, 05:29 PMRasselas replied to a thread Groups Concerned Over Arming Of Domestic Drones in General Political DiscussionIf you have probable cause to believe there's criminal activity going on, you can get a warrant.

Yesterday, 04:54 PMRasselas replied to a thread Groups Concerned Over Arming Of Domestic Drones in General Political DiscussionI don't think they should be able to use extraordinary means to see things that property owners choose to keep hidden.

Yesterday, 04:50 PMIt's interesting that this has become such a prominent story, considering one key fact has been left out. While 13 diocese have joined in this suit, the other 182 dioceses have chosen not to sue. Since there is a negotiation going on between the...265 replies | 1675 view(s)

Yesterday, 04:46 PMUmmm...probably not. The keys to heaven belong to the Pope and to the organization he leads, no? And what they bind and loose on earth will be bound and loosed in heaven, no? So they can just give absolution where they please and God has to go...265 replies | 1675 view(s)

Yesterday, 03:35 PMRasselas replied to a thread Groups Concerned Over Arming Of Domestic Drones in General Political DiscussionI think you can decline a search of your vehicle, but I don't think you can prevent a police officer from looking in the windows.

Yesterday, 02:31 PMRasselas replied to a thread Groups Concerned Over Arming Of Domestic Drones in General Political DiscussionIf there's a fence, they shouldn't be able to look beyond it. No, because there are windows. Windows imply a lack of privacy. No, and no. Again, if you've got windows and people can see in, then people can see in.

Signature
There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
The other, of course, involves Hobbits and Orcs.
