Well, the line has been drawn and you can no longer arbitrarilly have someone committed, even if you know, without a doubt, that they will harm themselves at sometime in the future. We have accepted that as the status quo, as Patient's Rights.
If we take a step backwards, where does it...
The downside to your argument is the erosion of personal freedom and the increase of police power...As it is, we now have Hate Crimes, instead of just crimes, as if we can determine what really went on inside a person's head before hand....There is a movie, Minority Report, I believe, with Tom...
Has anyone flown across this country of ours and looked down....Thousands upon thousands of retention dams built into watersheds, only for the purpose of saving it for livestock or irrigation.
.Does anyone realize what this country looked like before the beaver was decimated....Nowadays, we...
Well, I have an interesting story. I went to Southern Idaho on July 9th. It is a desert and this time of year it's covered in a dry grass called Cheat Grass and Sagebrush, which is an oil laden plant.
Being sparsely populated, 10,000 acre fires started by dry lightening, only makes the local...

I would say that the act of the massacre, the picking of the venue, the preparation and the booby trapping of the apartment were all a culmination of the lieniency of societal norms in the last 20 years or more. The truth is, we've been making folk heros out of mentally deranged outcasts since...
Yes, it was a judgement call of the parent, or maybe just a lifestyle choice. Either way, it ended badly.
The whole thing about being the first to see some movie that you can buy 6 months later in a pawnshop for $2 is way overrated, just for bragging rights.
Kind of like running out to pay...
He could have walked in with a couple of Roman Candles and killed just as many in the stampede. I know of a nightclub fire,in Rhode Island, I believe.; pyrotechnic stage props, that got out of hand, and dozens died in the evacuation.
I've been out of town for two weeks, but have kept up with everything. I will stir the pot with a paraphrase from my brother. "What kind of a parent takes their 6 year old kid to a violent R rated movie, at midnight? If they'd been doing the right thing, the kid would have been tucked safely in...
