Police can record you when you are in public, and you can record them. Plus it will be interesting to see what happens when watchdog groups start doing large FOIA requests for the video logs and then going after police for every infraction of procedure. Downside of course is that with the...

Exporter or raw materials (timber to the states etc) , importer of manufactured goods and vehicles (although we are, as a nation, a net exporter or trucks). So pick your sector. We ship unprocessed raw materials to the States and China, and send our cars south to the States, but for general...

There are more and more, and farther reaching "Free Trade" zones. NAFTA, Mexico, Trans Pacific Rim, EU trade policy between member nations etc. Anyone think that Free Trade has been oversold and proven false? It always struck me as a race to the bottom. Cheapest producer wins, and everyone else...

Water will be the next thing to fight over after oil. Canadians are sitting on the largest concentration of fresh water in the world. And we use it as a toilet. China is building huge dams to block waterflow out of the country. India is doing the same. Read the book Blue Gold, or watch the...

If the cross is on Federal land it should not be there, thats pretty well stated in the various regulations and judgements of the Supreme court. If the marines wanted to build a memorial to their comrades, great, more poer to them. Just find their own land to do it on. The cross in...

Yes it is in bad taste to burn a Koran. It is bound to offend someone, even a lot of people. You do not have the right to not be offended. What the pastor did was in poor taste, but not illegal. The reaction of people across the world, to kill people completely unrelated to the event is...

The suspended both kids, the smaller one for 21 days and the larger one for 4 days, for fighting back. Smaller kid is 12 and the larger kid is 16, and the 16 year old is a target of bullies. Personally I side with teh larger kid, serves the small kid right for starting it. And I bet he may...
