    Breaking: CNN Reports Darren Wilson Did Not Suffer a Fractured Eye Socket

    We do have two conflicting unnamed sources. By themselves, we would have to compare the sources citing the unnamed sources and maybe go with the credibility of those "news" entities. Like, is this the National Enquirer vs. The Christian Science Monitor. But, we don't just have the news entity...

    Black market boom lays bare a social divide in Colorado’s marijuana market

    Everything has an outcome that ultimately obeys a cost/benefit calculation. The actual risk that illegal sellers incur has not yet been worked out by the new marketplace. It may be that a black market will remain, if the taxes are high enough and the payoff for illegal selling is good enough...

    Humerous sayings that the Old-Timers among us used to amuse us with

    "That's about as useful as a television on a honeymoon" -- said about anything at all that was useless.

    What Would Happened To Black Crime if Drugs Were Legalized?

    What do you think could possibly take the place of drugs even remotely comparable in demand? While SOME could find employment in new black markets, the vast majority would simply have to become legitimate in order to make it.

    Police officer appears to threaten journalist in Ferguson

    I wouldn't give up so quickly. Just because Hatuey was over-broad in his statements doesn't mean that your scenario isn't what happened. I seriously doubt the charges were put before a DA, which makes Hatuey's assessment more relevant than TB's, even though he would be wrong in the...

    ‘I just kept asking: Why am I being arrested for sitting in my aunt’s driveway?’

    I am asking you why you think that adults would be required to be at their own home under a general curfew. It has been shown that several states have defined general curfews as NOT requiring people to be at their own homes. It has never been shown that they do define general curfews as...

    ‘I just kept asking: Why am I being arrested for sitting in my aunt’s driveway?’

    I didn't see this post, so I will address it now that you have pointed it out to me. According to your quote, juveniles are not required to be at their own home. Where do you get that adults be required to?

    ‘I just kept asking: Why am I being arrested for sitting in my aunt’s driveway?’

    I don't get it. I really do not see where you think that they knew they were breaking the law. I would have thought it was perfectly fine for me to be at any residence and that it was perfectly fine to be anywhere on the property. If I thought I wasn't breaking the law, I still might be...

    ‘I just kept asking: Why am I being arrested for sitting in my aunt’s driveway?’

    Well, then, I don't think you get to say "common" definition. Cautious would be a better descriptor.

    Green energy not so enviromentally friendly.

    You seem pleased by this. Why? From a green perspective, this just means that the cost of generating power to society will simply rise. Either we will have to keep putting C02 in the atmosphere and incur costs because of global warming, or we will have to turn to nuclear and incur costs...

    ‘I just kept asking: Why am I being arrested for sitting in my aunt’s driveway?’

    No. There are two dictionary definitions out of four that means that. But, it wasn't my intuitive understanding, nor was it reasonable to think that is what the law would be, nor has it been shown at all that it is a common definition from a legal standpoint. Quite the opposite really. Did...

    Media Draws Map To Wilson's Home

    Thank you for setting this straight. I was misled, partly because I didn't actually watch the video that apdst provided. I seldom remember to think that apsdt is not credible, and you have now given me a good reminder.

    Media Draws Map To Wilson's Home

    Doesn't matter. Sorry!! That you foolishly think that one example would demonstrate a general situation is ... foolish.

    ‘I just kept asking: Why am I being arrested for sitting in my aunt’s driveway?’

    You are speculating about the part that they intended to violate the curfew at some future moment. They might have intended to stay the night at the house at which they had arrived. For all we know, they went there because it was in range, and they didn't have time to reach their desired...

    ‘I just kept asking: Why am I being arrested for sitting in my aunt’s driveway?’

    You are like a gift that keeps on giving. I made it very clear that the reason I was giving the juvenile curfew definition was for two reasons: One, because I couldn't yet find an emergency curfew definition. And two, more importantly because I believe that definition is more properly the...
