And he doesn't stand a chance of suing them successfully. No wonder some people support Assassination Politics.

Don't any of you get any ideas here, but in California it is ridiculously easy to get someone committed for a 72-hour observation period. All one has to do is convince one of the various agencies that a person is a possible danger to himself or to others. So, 72 hours playing head games with a shrink doesn't sound so bad, does it? For starters, expect a regimen of antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs, sort of a reduced version of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Then, expect shrinks who are looking for antisocial behavior, not organic psychoses. Worst of all, the mere fact of having been committed, regardless of the eventual outcome, can mean a complete loss of rights to own a handgun, rifle, or shotgun for a long period (10 years, I think). Failure to let the Thought Police in for a look around one's home is almost ipso facto grounds for committment. "I'm having fantasies, doctor, about spraying a vanload of shrinks trespassing on my property." Enough to get me committed? Go ahead, make my day. --Tim May The Feds have shown their hand: they want a ban on domestic cryptography ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.

From the objective perspective of "the Shadow's nose," one quickly learns, from a lifetime spent riding the electronic MTA, that: "The one on the right is in the middle, the one on the left is on the right..."
...and the guy posting as Anonymous? He drives a garbage truck... Man in the Middle

Why screw around with a sniper rifle when you can get Chinese clones of the Stinger missile for $700-800? Besides, they can come in handy when they send in the helicopters with mounted machine guns a la Waco. Mrs. Shirley Allen has been captured and is getting her mandatory psychiatric exam. Her family is celebrating, according to ABC news. Anyone think she will be declared sane? If so, I have some excellent Florida swampland for sale... Reality is a symptom of alcohol deficiency!
