That when Sweden does it, and when the UK wants to detain everyone for 42 days w/o charge, and the encroachments on what you consider civil liberties, in France and Germany are accepted and acceptable there that it's really the rest of the world which is shifting under YOUR feet and YOU'RE the ones who are simply being recalcitrant and blockheaded and stamping your feet.
Today for instance, for better or worse there are millions of CCTV cameras in the UK actively swerving around and snooping at everyone. Digging in your heels and stating "This will NOT stand" isn't really going to accomplish anything. And perhaps it shouldn't. Perhaps governments typically respond to the implied fears of the people they govern. And perhaps the best approach is for you to assume there is zero privacy. Instead of Orwell, Kafka. The name of your crime is carved in your back.
The idea, as GG intimates that only 'bad' countries like Russia or Zimbabwe do this sort of thing is obviously wrong. Either through pure ignorance or a narrowly sliced agenda, he leaves off all those 'good' countries like Sweden (and Australia, another good example of electronic snoopery - and in case you missed the nuance, Oz just elected a new left leaning liberal government, not at all I guess like those 'right wing fascists' in Sweden, "Frankly" indicated, hold sway there).
So round and round GG goes stamping his feet until he's the only one. GG against the world, tilting at windmills.
And she was wearing a confederate flag bikini.
Netgear's email support is half platitude drivel half all your base are belong to us. They wrote back and told me my question to them improved their self esteem.
Whisky Tango Fortune Cookie?
4 more paragraphs of this crap and they got around to what I can only paraphrase as "we are terribly unable to help you with that".
Clearly their scripting leaves something or everything to be desired. Word Salad all of it.
faaaaaaabulous.
I'm sure that will work out fine. I mean it's worked great so far.
But the law does permit this and more. Pharmacists are regulated by the state but the state doesn't decree which products the pharmacist may and must sell and which not. My doctor for example is not obliged to offer me specific treatments and protocols.
And contrary to Comrade Kamiya, it's no lock for the Obama Blessed be He, but whomever wins even if it's by 43 votes, they'll declare it a mandate either way. Everything's going to gridlock anyhow and not much of anything will get done.
The first thing you have to do is take the Saloniks and their ilk out of the equation because they're a fringe element. Emma Goldman's been dead a long long long time and so has the Red Army Faction but no one told Salon. And I know this smacks of heresy, but all the Salon blogging in the world hasn't changed thing one in the last 10 years. The GOP will probably lose because it's obvious to everyone what a failure it's been. It has nothing to do with the 1500 people who scrupulously read Gary or Glenn or War Room.
So once you remove the delusionals from the equation you find that the election will actually be somewhat closer than 'forfeit'. And if the vote gap is less than 5% it's going to end in a court fight. Everyone knows that.
And in 2010 after 4 years of Democratic control of Congress the GOP will ask "Are you better today than you were in 2006?" Now that's probably unfair of them to do but that's how politics works.
Many pharmacies refuse to carry it. Why? It's prone to abuse and, it's likely to get the store robbed or broken into. The theoretical efficacy of the drug which, when used correctly and safely, has nothing to do with it. If you're the polymyalgia patient who really really needs it, you are sh- out of luck.
I hope not because that would be disingenuous. See we live in an era where there are no values. None. No one actually stands for anything and every so called 'values protest' is just a convenience that someone else can use to shame you. So I would hope these drug stores do no accept any payments from any health care companies financially connected to birth control.
Of course they do.
about 95/71 this time of year. 40% RHI which would make 70 feel like 77 or about that. At 3900ft elevation it can feel a bit less oppressive than those numbers at sea level. It can exceed 100 deg F but it's rare.
By comparison Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) is 104/78 deg F @ 80% RHI which is pretty awful. Riyadh is even hotter (109) but arid <10% RHI.
You aren't worried about the price of fuel. More likely is that power BOATING is going to crash instead. Those rednecks with their twin outboard skiboats they take out on the weekends to Lake Hillbilly are a lot more likely to give them up. Boat gasoline on the lake is already $5/gal and no end in sight.
No one under thirty seems capable of even pretending to pay attention to anything on the screen for more than 60 seconds anyway. When I rent a movie at home they talk over every second of it. TV is just background noise to them. If you could make a tv with 16 different tuners and 16 windows each one randomly scrolling through all the channels, 20's would buy it.
After a decade of Kevin vs. 5 guys, finally he gets a ring.
Republicans run with Obama, Liberman runs with McCain. Do you people even read what you've wrote anymore? This isn't even speculation, it's fiction.
My Army Corp of Engineers local reservoir lake is a summer paradise of Camo and Confederate flag drunks who blast up and down all day scaring everyone and running aground for shits and giggles.

Wait for the end, it's priceless.
