If this is true, rmr alone could paralyze the Justice Department. http://news.com.com/Create%20an%20e-annoyance,%20go%20to%20jail/2010-... or: http://tinyurl.com/e2nok Bill Sullivan "A judge is a law student who marks his own examination papers."

Mencken Maybe that alone would make all the annoyance of RMR worthwhile... -- David > If this is true, rmr alone could paralyze the Justice Department. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > "A judge is a law student who marks his own examination papers." > H. L. Mencken RMR is a very tame and civil compared to other groups. I've been reading alt.home.repair and alt.hvac because I'm doing a large project with my home. People on alt.hvac are especially mean. They flame people and use terrible filthy language for no apparent reason at all.

L. Mencken I think the HVAC people must have sniffed too much Freon !!! Be careful guys... saying anything bad about Bush might get the KGB (err.. I mean Secret Service) on your tail.... Where's the constitution these days?? now it's anything goes when it comes to search and seizure... fourth amendment is pretty much gone. Now even first amendment is pretty much gone too because if you don't watch what you said you could be called "terrorist" or the recent laws that keeps getting passed that restricts free speech. Just most of the "developed" nations have passed some real scary anti terrorist laws, in England they just said police can detain ANYONE for any offense (that means you can be arrested for littering!). USA just passed a law that allows the government to look at your bank records without a court order if they believe you are a "terrorist". I am sure Bush has good intentions to make those laws but what if someone else comes along that is not as God fearing, and decides to play Adolf Hitler? These laws might have good reason in light of recent event but they are very dangerous, it is like a disaster waiting to happen! -- TAI FU > Where's the constitution these days?? now it's anything goes when it comes As my "Bill of Rights" t-shirt says, "Void where prohibited by law". http://www.lpwi.org/liberty-store.html I heard that 50 years from now China (no, not the one you're in Tai) is going to invade the USA and restore democracy and civil rights. It seems our facist government is removing rights here as they try to force them down other countries throats. It's really time for another tea party.

Of the first kind, for instance, is freedom of religion; of the second, trial by jury, habeas corpus laws, free presses. -- Thomas Jefferson >> Where's the constitution these days?? now it's anything goes when it comes > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >I heard that 50 years from now China (no, not the one you're in Tai) is >going to invade the USA and restore democracy and civil rights. Where did you hear that? I'm sure Homeland Security wants to know. Is that a "Code 46" like violation? ;) >It seems our facist government is removing rights here as they try to force >them down other countries throats. It's really time for another tea party. All your base belong to U.S. :( Funny we have more freedom here than in the US in certain respects (well we can't own guns or anything) like you don't have to ask for anyone's permission to mod your house, or paint the fence (if there is any) or anything like that. In most communities you had to get permission from your community if you wanted to mod your house... like owning properties has any value anymore... That just goes with Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto plank 1, abolish private properties... -- TAI FU > Funny we have more freedom here than in the US in certain respects Like what? >(well we can't own guns or anything) I would say that's a loss of a MAJOR right, not loss of freedom. >like you don't have to ask for anyone's permission to mod your house, or paint the fence (if there is any) or > anything like that. Where did you live that neighborhood covenants applied? That usually only applies when you're dealing with high end housing, as in exclusive neighborhoods, not every house in America. >In most communities you had to get permission from your community if you wanted to mod your house... That would be called zoning restrictions. No one wants a lead factory next door or apartments in the center of $500k estates. >That just goes with Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto plank 1, abolish private properties...

Only if you consider trailer parks as mid-level housing. . . not that you're not safe there either. Covenanted housing has permeated nearly every level of residential development and many areas have some "helpful" folks trying to bring it into existing neighborhoods. >>In most communities you had to get permission from your community if you wanted to mod your house... > > That would be called zoning restrictions.

Thank you for proving his point with your strawman. <rest elided> TK SignatureCogito ergo bibo > Thank you for proving his point with your strawman. How'd I do that? He's getting his terms and generalities mixed up. I live in a city of almost 4 million. Roughly 30% of the neighborhoods have some kind of covenant and are rarely enforced unless you're talking mega bucks and that's the upper 5 % of homes. I was a contractor in 9 states for 23 years. I am now a building inspector for a financial institution in 4 states. That's pretty much the average nationally, which is hardly "most" of America. Randy www.vernarockets.com Yea zoning is nonexistant in Taiwan, just about everyone that lives on the first floor turns their home into a store front. It's called free enterprise here... I dont know about factories, because they are usually located in less urban enviroment. -- TAI FU > > Funny we have more freedom here than in the US in certain respects > > Like what? Like the government can't look at your records without a court order, the police can't arrest without a warrant (unless you like kill someone in front of them). In fact the police here are required to be nice to civilians, because if they are not and someone files a complaint on them they are like screwed. In the US in light of recent events the government can do what they want, they will just use "terrorist" as an excuse. snip Oh. Just the same, I'll stay here. Enjoy your opportunities! Randy www.vernarockets.com Yea, we are just under threat from China... personally I'd rather be threatened by a nation than by terrorists, at least a nation has laws, where terrorists just does what they want. -- TAI FU <randyolb@charter. > > Where's the constitution these days?? now it's anything goes when it comes > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > It seems our facist government is removing rights here as they try to force > them down other countries throats.

Well, I'm liking the English style of democratic government more than the US style. National control has eroded states rights (to say nothing of individual rights) to the point that states are little more than administrative counties of the national government. The bicameral legislature is a neat idea but pointless in today's environment. If we are to persist in the two party system, Republicans and Democrats, it would make more sense to have one legislative body for each, with both still required for passage of a bill, and other actions. |
