Surely somewhere in the U.S. a non-black citizen has been shot and killed by LEO, but it will not garnish any media coverage today. Doesn't quite make the mainstream (media) agenda to rile up the haters.

It's one thing for countries like Switzerland to offer assisted death in a dignified manner. They have some medical matters right that we don't.
I'm for allowing assisted suicide when there is no treatment available to alleviate pain and suffering. What is happening here is starting to look like curated death "a la Hollywood" complete with sub-standard (and very expensive) medical care to make sure the agony exists to warrant it. It isn't dignified and suggests that the people involved don't really want to treat people humanely.
If I go to my doctor and she doesn't even know about a chemical compound crucial to living life well and painlessly that was documented in Nobel Prizes given in 1963 and 1964 (or thereabouts), that tells me there is something far wrong with the medical training here. Now with genetic information exploding, there is no excuse for what's happening in Canada.

Sebastian Vettel seldom shows the more serious side to his character © Getty Images Enlarge Related Links News:
Vettel blames 'cucumber' Karthikeyan for puncture
Drivers:
Sebastian Vettel Teams:
Red Bull
How a driver celebrates in victory reveals little about his true character, but defeat offers a genuine insight into the man behind the visor. Formula One's insatiable appetite for news and reaction means drivers are thrown into TV interviews just minutes after stepping out of the cockpit and often without the opportunity to decompress their thoughts. For the most part they automatically revert to their media training and give nothing away, but sometimes they struggle to hold back.
After stepping out of the 50C heat of his Red Bull cockpit in Malaysia, Sebastian Vettel saw no reason to hold back. With his hair still soaked in sweat, he reflected on his collision with backmarker Narain Karthikeyan, which shredded his tyre and ruined his race. Speaking in his native German he criticised Karthikeyan's driving and labelled the HRT driver a "cucumber" (or possibly a gherkin depending on your German translation). Speaking to the BBC he ruled out any ambiguity by simply referring to Karthikeyan as an "idiot".
Watching the BBC interview it was compelling to see the happy-go-lucky Vettel that we've come to know and love from top three press conferences transform into the deadly serious persona we've only heard exists behind closed doors in the Red Bull motorhome. It was an insight, albeit a very brief one, into the steely determination that lies beneath Vettel's polished veneer of humour and one-liners. That's not to say he isn't being genuine when he smiles for the cameras and jokes with journalists, it's just that his character is much deeper than that and his success has come from knowing when to be stern and when to be laid back.
By most accounts last season was a breeze for Vettel, and for the majority of the time we enjoyed the affable side of his personality as he collected poles and wins. However, his demeanour at the Belgian Grand Prix was notably different as he learnt that his car's suspension settings were putting undue stress on the tyres which had the potential to cause a failure. On the Sunday morning before that race the serious side of Vettel came to the fore as he held a heated and very open conversation with a Pirelli technician in the middle of the paddock. I was lucky enough to observe that conversation, out of earshot I might add, but it was clear he wanted to know exactly what he was up against and didn't care who knew about it.
His comments in Malaysia were much the same. Vettel knows just how important 12 points could be by the end of the season and in his mind Karthikeyan robbed him of them with a clumsy error. You may not agree with Vettel about the accident (although the stewards gave Karthikeyan a post-race penalty after reviewing all the evidence), but he got his message across.
Of course, Vettel is not the first driver to speak his mind following a race and he certainly won't be the last. Think back to Felipe Massa's incomprehensible rant about Lewis Hamilton at Singapore last year and the subsequent pat/thump on the back he gave the McLaren driver in the interview pen. Earlier in the year at Monaco, Hamilton was the one creating headlines when he slagged off not only his fellow competitors but also the stewards. Such displays of emotion often take TV audiences by surprise, but think back to the last time you were badly cut up on the road and the irrational anger that welled up inside and you start to understand the stress these guys are under.
But the trick is to pick the battles worth fighting and, ideally, pick ones you can win. By bad-mouthing the stewards Hamilton didn't do himself any favours and the McLaren PR machine went into overdrive to cover for their man. Equally Massa's pleas for the FIA to act against Hamilton did nothing to diffuse the growing animosity between the two drivers and ultimately it didn't do either of them any favours. However, the next time Vettel comes up to lap Karthikeyan the HRT driver will no doubt make extra room as, even if Karthikeyan didn't think the collision in Malaysia was his fault, another incident would damage his reputation far more than Vettel's. It may have cost Seb 12 points this time, but his comments after the race could help him towards 25 at the next race.

WINSLOW TWP. -- Police said they have caught two teens who have been hurling large rocks at cars on the Atlantic City Expressway, causing damage and injuring two people, for more than six weeks.
The boy and girl, both 14, were caught Friday with a bucket full of rocks near where Kali Drive dead-ends at the expressway, according to a statement from Winslow police.
The investigation began July 9, when police received the first report of a vehicle being hit with a rock on the westbound side of the highway in the area of mileposts 40 and 41, police said.
Over the following weeks, until Aug. 23, nine more vehicles were hit with large rocks in that same area, also heading west.
"All vehicles sustained smashed windshields and two victims sustained minor injuries," Winslow police said.
New Jersey State Police and township police conducted surveillance, canvassed the neighborhood, interviewed victims and witnesses in their investigation.
They determined that the end of Kali Drive, which is separated from the expressway by a guardrail and about 40 feet, was the most likely spot from which the rocks were being thrown.
The teens were identified after surveillance cameras in the area captured footage of them Aug. 22, police said.
Three days later, two witnesses saw the pair in the area of the expressway "gathering rocks in a bucket," police said.
Each teen was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated assault, 10 counts of criminal mischief, nine counts of interference with transportation, nine counts of weapons possession and nine counts of possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.
They were placed in the Camden County Juvenile Detention Center in Blackwood, police said.

An interesting article? Even minor tweeks to the collective bargaining law are portrayed as a power grab? How about dealing with Collective Bargaing based on what it is supposed to be? Like collective bargaining 101? A basic change to employee status under collective bargaining is an employer can fire you for no reason whatsoever. Under a union contract an employer must provd just cause in front of an arbitrator. A grievence occurs when an employee believes an employer has violated contractural provisions in regards to him/her self. For example promotion. A notorious case in the 90's on the Big Island in which the chief arbitrarily denied promotions wasn't grieved but went to court where the County lost and employees were awarded $8 million. This article reveals a beauracracy locked into a a hyperlegalistic means of dealing with their employees, rather than problem solving. And that these bueracrats are power tripping.

Your hypothesis doesn't hold water. Slapping a foreign buyer's tax on housing in Vancouver resulted in a sharp drop in prices, but once the adjustment has been made, prices are again zooming up. The issue is growing demand and lack of supply. In Vancouver the lack of supply is caused by the mountains reducing the amount of developable land.
The issue in Ontario is exactly what this article stated. There has been fairly strong construction but of the wrong type. People still want to raise their families in single detached houses, not condominium apartments, but the Places to Grow Act requires increase in density regardless of what the buyers want.
Wynne, of course, refuses to believe she did anything wrong. Our social justice warrior is resorting to xenophobia with the non-residence tax, i.e. blaming the Chinese for the problem instead of letting the market work.

Craig Medred has been investigating the negative impact of hatchery pinks on the North Pacific. A yearly release of a couple billion pinks is starting to impact the carrying capacity of the ocean itself - carrying capacity being the amount of food for the fish. Pinks compete really, really well and are voracious predators. Release too many pinks and eventually there is not enough for the birds and other salmon species, which may help explain the crashes in other species (king, coho, chum) returns.
Solution? Farming (ranching) Pacific species and ratcheting back on the release of hatchery fish. Cheers -

It has been quite a surprising revelation to see the polls showing so many Christian evangelicals who are siding with Trump. Worse yet, that so many Adventists who would prefer him to be our future president. A man who bragged of his adulteries and sexual conquests; a man who mocks the disabled; veterans, claims to change the Constitution, and reveals he doesn't even know what's written in it. And a man who has no principles but whatever occurs to him at a moment in time.
You would trust your nation and freedom to this man? The demographics show that women always outnumber men in the voting booth, and especially college-educated women who overwhelmingly will not vote for a man who boasts of his predatory behavior over many years. A man who has already stated that the voting has been rigged against him and he hints at not acceding if he is not elected.

Owners of rooftop solar installations are bracing for substantially higher monthly electricity bills under a proposal by San Diego’s utility monopoly to overhaul the way it charges customers of all kinds.
San Diego Gas & Electric asked regulators this month for permission to bill customers separately for use of its distribution grid.
The effect on nonsolar customers would be negligible, but unbundling grid use from the cost of electricity would fundamentally change the energy-saving equation for homeowners and businesses with rooftop solar installations.
How much solar customers would pay remains unclear — bills will depend greatly on each ratepayer’s use on the grid.
The proposed “network use charge” is pegged to the ebb and flow of electricity for those who generate excess power by day only to draw from the grid when the sun doesn’t shine.
The utility has framed its request to the California Public Utilities Commission as an issue of equity and fairness. As more solar is adopted, SDG&E says, traditional customers are footing more of the bill for infrastructure and public purpose programs, which subsidize low-income customers and pay for energy efficiency and utility research and development.
“We have to have a rate structure that is sustainable and can accommodate those (solar) customers,” said J.C. Thomas, manager of government and regulatory affairs at SDG&E.
Feeling betrayed
Many of the 14,500 ratepayers who generate their own power feel they’ve been betrayed, as they calculate a longer payoff time on their solar investments.
Patricia and Gil Field, a substitute teacher and a retired Navy contracting officer, installed solar panels in 2009 on their Carmel Valley home, using a combination of inheritance money, a loan from their Quaker meeting group and discounts based on a state rebate and federal tax incentives.
“They’re changing the rules and charging an excessive rate to undercut people who have made environmentally sound commitments,” Patricia Field said of the SDG&E proposal.
Analysts say SDG&E’s application has the attention of California’s two other investor-owned utilities, Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas and Electric, which could seek to replicate it.
Solar customers remain a tiny fraction of SDG&E’s 1.4 million customers. But that market segment is growing at a frantic pace and represents mostly heavy energy users — once the most profitable of utility customers.
“For the really forward-looking utilities, there is the writing on the wall that they’re really not in the business of being the primary energy source for these people,” said Ted Ko, associate executive director of the nonprofit Clean Coalition in San Francisco. “This proposal by SDG&E is kind of a first attempt at … the compensation model for people who are going to be generating their own energy.”
Net-metering incentive
Perhaps more than any other incentive, one simple equation has helped turn rooftop solar panels into a mainstream reality in San Diego County.
Under “net metering,” utility customers who generate one kilowatt hour of energy can buy one less kilowatt hour from the utility.
The solar payoff also has been sweetened by California’s steeply tiered rate structure, a legacy of the energy crisis a decade ago that saw rolling blackouts amid electricity market manipulation.
To comply with state law, California’s utilities charge heavy users of electricity nearly twice the rate per kilowatt hour to encourage conservation and assure cheap energy to cover the most basic needs.
As more solar is adopted, at a current rate of 200 customers a month, the number of customers paying upper-tier rates has declined, according to SDG&E.
Top-tier customers, the company says, in effect are already paying $34 a year to offset costs for solar customers.
“We don’t think it’s fair that just because you can put solar on your roof that your neighbor should pay for it,” SDG&E spokeswoman Stephanie Donovan said.
Navy vet: ‘It’s a bad trend’
Despite assurances from SDG&E that grid-use charges won’t eliminate the benefits of net metering, clean-energy contractors fear for their future under the proposal, according to Andrew McAllister, director of programs at the ratepayer-funded California Center for Sustainable Energy.
“Decreasing the effectiveness of the incentives embedded in net metering is going to have a chilling effect on the marketplace” for small-scale solar, McAllister said.
Retired Navy pilot Rusty Chang, 55, of Chula Vista had anticipated that lower monthly utility bills would pay for his rooftop solar installation over eight years. Now he knows it could take longer to produce real savings.
“I have no idea how long. That’s the problem,” Chang said. “It would definitely push back the time. If that’s the trend SDG&E wants to follow, it’s a bad trend.”
The rate redesign is already being challenged before regulators.
The San Diego-based Utility Consumers’ Action Network says it amounts to an obscured surcharge against self-generating electricity customers, and would circumvent state law that provides for rate stability and predictability.
Initial hearings on the application are scheduled for December. SDG&E hopes to win approval by mid-2012 and roll out the new billing structure in 2013. New charges would be phased in by 2015.
The utility bill restructuring is part of SDG&E’s larger general rate case proposal to raise gas and electric rates by $1.1 billion over the next four years.
SDG&E says the new network-use charge would be offset by lower electricity rates. A $3 monthly basic service fee also would be implemented.
People with electric vehicles would be eligible for relief from grid-use charges to encourage charging during predawn hours when the demand for electricity is lowest.

So, now we know this terrorist slipped in with the refugees heading to Germany, after he served a prison sentence in Italy. He was kicked out of Italy and headed to Germany.
It proves Merkel's Gov't let many or all 1.2 million refugees in without proper background checks.

What has John Tory done to keep his job? Aside from being a nice guy who hikes taxes virtually nothing? A vote for a Ford is a vote to save your taxes. And if the Ontario Liberals get re-elected - I highly doubt people in Toronto will want to re-elect another tax hiker in the municipal level. No more taxes !!! No more tolls !!!

Q:
When not to use Google Web Toolkit?
I'm considering use of GWT on a major in-house web app development project, namely it's major advantage in my eyes is the cross-compilation to Javascript which would (at least theoretically) help my team reduce the size of tech stack by one.
However, having been burnt before (like most devs), I would like to hear from programmers who did actually use it on any problems with GWT which would hamper, or limit, it's use within a certain problem domain.
What are the arguments against using GWT, and why?
A:
I am both good and bad to answer this question - good, in that I've actually used it before, and bad, in that I was quite experienced with HTML/CSS/JavaScript prior to working with GWT. This left me maddened by using GWT in a way that other Java developers who don't really know DHTML may not have been.
GWT does what it says - it abstracts JavaScript and to some degree HTML into Java. To many developers, this sounds brilliant. However, we know, as Jeff Atwood puts it, all abstractions are failed abstractions (worth a read if considering GWT). With GWT, this specifically introduces the following problems:
Using HTML in GWT sucks.
As I said it, to some degree, even abstracts away HTML. It sounds good to a Java developer. But it's not. HTML is a document markup format. If you wanted to create Java objects to define a document, you would not use document markup elements. It is maddeningly verbose. It is also not controlled enough. In HTML there is essentially one way to write <p>Hello how are <b>you</b>?</p>. In GWT, you have 3 child nodes (text, B, text) attached to a P node. You can either create the P first, or create the child nodes first. One of the child nodes might be the return result of a function. After a few months of development with many developers, trying to decipher what your HTML document looks like by tracing your GWT code is a headache-inducing process.
In the end, the team decided that maybe using HTMLPanel for all HTML was the right way to go. Now, you've lost many of GWT's advantages of having elements readily available to Java code to bind easily for data.
Using CSS in GWT sucks.
By attachment to HTML abstraction, this means that the way you have to use CSS is also different. It might have improved since I last used GWT (about 9 months ago), but at the time, CSS support was a mess. Because of the way GWT makes you create HTML, you often have levels of nodes that you didn't know were injected (any CSS dev knows how this can dramatically affect rendering). There were too many ways to embed or link CSS, resulting in a confusing mess of namespaces. On top of that you had the sprite support, which again sounds nice, but actually mutated your CSS and we had problems with it writing properties which we then had to explicitly overwrite later, or in some cases, thwarted our attempts to match our hand-coded CSS and having to just redesign it in ways that GWT didn't screw it up.
Union of problems, intersection of benefits
Any languages is going to have it's own set of problems and benefits. Whether you use it is a weighted formula based on those. When you have an abstraction, what you get is a union of all the problems, and an intersection of the benefits. JavaScript has it's problems, and is commonly derided among server-side engineers, but it also has quite a few features that are helpful for rapid web development. Think closures, syntax shorthand, ad-hoc objects, all of the stuff done by Jquery (like DOM querying by CSS selector). Now forget about using it in GWT!
Separation of concerns
We all know that as the size of a project grows, having good separation of concerns is critical. One of the most important is the separation between display and processing. GWT made this really hard. Probably not impossible, but the team I was on never came up with a good solution, and even when we thought we had, we always had one leaking into the other.
Desktop != Web
As @Berin Loritsch posted in the comments, the model or mindset GWT is built for is living applications, where a program has a living display tightly coupled with a processing engine. This sounds good because that's what so many feel the web is lacking. But there are two problems: A) The web is built on HTTP and this is inherently different. As I mentioned above, the technologies built on HTTP - HTML, CSS, even resource-loading and caching (images, etc.), have been built for that platform. B) Java developers who have been working on the web do not easily switch to this desktop-application mindset. Architecture in this world is an entirely different discipline. Flex developers would probably be more suited to GWT than Java web developers.
In conclusion...
GWT is capable of producing quick-and-dirty AJAX applications quite easily using just Java. If quick-and-dirty doesn't sound like what you want, don't use it. The company I was working for was a company that cared a lot about the end product, and it's sense of polish, both visual and interactive, to the user. For us front-end developers, this meant that we needed to control HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in ways that made using GWT like trying to play the piano with boxing gloves on.
A:
We use GWT for a big eGovernment web application (SOA in the backend) which has a heavy usage. The old UI was in DHTML but we had issues with browser compatibility, performance optimization and the development process, so we looked for alternatives.
Our requirements have been:
client side UI layer to minimize server load
browser compatibility
web based RIA
Easy performance optimizations
No client plugins installation necessary, should work with a plain windows installation
We choosed GWT and I never regret it. The new team had no or less DHMTL experience and therefore the Java dev process of GWT was very helpful. What you get of the box is:
browser compatibility
Java based development process and code reuse
easy minimizing of requests (image bundle, ...)
easy agressive caching (new apps are completely cached at client side)
easy compression of all ressources (even with js on older buggy IEs)
and a lot more, to much to mention here
Our application issues only one request to the server on startup. On the negative side is that GWT (and also Android) have a poor design out of the box, but anyway if you apply your own look and feel you have to adapt the CSS. Alternatively you can use various component libraries for GWT which make it easy to apply proper styles and theming.
For me there is no point that maybe the HTML DOM is not as good as handcrafted, this was never an issue. When I develop in C++, I do not look at the generated assembler code. When I develop in GWT there was never a reason for me to look at the JS code and only once a reason to look at the DOM and do some refactoring.
For me GWT is the only choice when it comes to RIA development and I hope that GWT has a bright future. See the mission statement at:
[1] http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/webtoolkit/makinggwtbetter.html#introduction
But it should not be unmentioned that Google don't use GWT on many of their internal projects and that at the moment there are some rumors around about the future of GWT, see
[2] http://googlewebtoolkit.blogspot.com/2011/11/gwt-and-dart.html

Excellent. I would much prefer to see the changing landscape of our cities where there are better opportunities for the aboriginal youth. The day and age of isolated reserves is over. Graduation rates for aboriginal youth is much higher when they attend schools off reserve than on reserve according to the census data. This migration should be encouraged and promoted for a brighter future for aboriginal and non aboriginal peoples alike.

Aloha Nolani-
I agree with you. Let's not forget that the housing/homeless problem is created by our GOV by limiting housing, charging 2X the property taxes to landlords, stop ohana housing, rejecting in-fill housing in planned communities when GOV caves to vocal minorities silly reasoning for denying permits in planned housing areas.
Homelessness, compassion for ALL, including the financial middle, lower & upper citizenry. Our government asks us to work to care for ourselves then pay for & accept the unacceptable behavior of the homeless who disregard laws of decency, health & safety. That's a no win-win situation or benefit for ALL.
Throwing hardworking taxpayers $ ineffectively at our social problems is unethical. Paying the highest social benefits in America incentivizes others to move to Hawaii. Those here who are close to failing will give up & grab the GOV nipple, further burdening society. Let's not be #1 in the wrong things. Note; GOV, be ethical to working citizens.

Thing is, the evidence is absolutely overwhelming that human activities is (by far) the primary driver of the current changes. In fact, all the other things that historically has caused warming periods are going in the opposite direction (including solar activity). Without human activity, we would be in a cooling period !

I often wonder what makes people do and say stupid things when it comes to Russia?
I envy the Russian people. Putin is the kind of man other men want as a buddy. He’s real. He has a clear mind. He has a sense of humor. He’s not full of himself. He knows where he’s going. He loves his people. He’s a standup guy. He can’t be bullied. He’s a rugged individual. He loves animals and abhors criminals. He’s been a good father. He’s a patriot. He’s a fast thinker. He’s a good communicator. He says what he means. He means what he says. He’s generous. He’s polite. He’s responsible.Those attributes used to be what Americans cherished as ideal qualities. The representatives of America are anathema to me. I envy the Russian people.

Ontario, as usual, has a weird approach to bottles and recycling. Pop bottles and water bottles are sold by the tens of millions and have no deposit and a lot seem to end up as litter or in the trash instead of recycled. Wine and liquor bottles, far less numerous, do not seem to end up as litter but there is a 20 cent deposit and you have to bring them back to your unhelpful often closed Beer Store. Weird weird weird.

Naturally occurring flouride in a water system is a completely different bird than synthetic flouride. What I oppose is any flouride being added to the water supply. The argument is simple. You're either giving people a choice as to what they ingest, or you are removing that choice, and that is forced medication.

I don't see American happiness increasing any time soon. I've been saying for several years now we're in a second civil war, but nobody recognizes it because it's not being fought with guns (yet). The United States is basically two nations of people, each with opposing ideologies and world-views that are forced to share a government and an economy. It's been this way since the early 18th Century. Each having to make concessions to the other only serves to fertilize discontent. These conditions don't exist in those super-homogenous Nordic countries, for example.

Two things to take away from this short story. 1) The building must not have been that vital if they can afford to take a year to upgrade security clean it up. 2) This is a great illustration of how government is slow and inefficient. If this were a business, they couldn't built a whole new building several times over by now.

Your dislike or anger at Williams is a bit misguided. All orders from the DOJ and FBI were directed from Washington D.C. as outlined by several news sources during the real time events of MWLR occupation. Governor Brown even conceded, in yielding to Washington D.C. for their decision making.
You like so many others were flat out duped by the Department of the Interior and U.S. Fish and Wildlife. There was NO federal employees on the Refuse the day of the occupation. In fact U.S. Fish and Wildlife enforcement was absent 5 days prior. Other BLM employees had not been on the refuse 7-8 days prior.
“Fulfillment of the Service’s conservation mission requires the effective enforcement of wildlife protection laws both on Service lands and the country at large. Federal Wildife Officers (FWO) are entrusted with protecting natural resources, visitors and employees on National Wildlife Refuge System lands."
— Dale Hall, Former Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Q:
Handle repeated options like -v -vv -vvv idiomatically with perl Getopt
I'd like to handle the verbosity level option like OpenSSH does: by multiply passing the -v option.
Getopt::Std does not increment no-argument option values, but simply sets them to 1. This means that passing -vvv with Getopt::Std will yield $opt_v == 1 and I need it to be 3 in that case.
Getopt::Long with the v+ option-spec understands -v -v correctly (target variable ends up 2), but it misunderstands -vvv as the option named vvv -- which is not defined and causes an error.
How can I get the desired behavior?
A:
I figured out the answer after writing up the question, but before posting it -- classic.
The best way to handle this is to use Getopt::Long with bundling:
use Getopt::Long qw(:config bundling);
GetOptions ("v+" => \$verbose);
This handles -v -vv -vvv as expected: $verbose == 6.
If for some reason you cannot use or prefer not to use bundling, the only other way is to define the options vv, vvv etc. up to a reasonable maximum:
use Getopt::Long;
GetOptions (
"v+" => \$verbose);
"vv" => sub { $verbose += 2 },
"vvv" => sub { $verbose += 3 },
);
This then also handles -v -vv -vvv as expected: $verbose == 6.

Toată lumea vorbeşte despre bitcoin de parcă ar fi o tehnologie nouă, însă adevărul e că strămoşii noştri îl foloseau cu mai bine de 2000 de ani în urmă! Potrivit Jurnalului de Arheologie al Universităţii Dacice din Simeria, o descoperire recentă din Munţii Orăştiei dă peste cap tot ce ştiam despre criptomonede.
„În urmă cu câteva zile, într-o locuinţă dacică de lângă Sarmizegetusa a fost descoperit un cufăr despre care, în mod eronat, s-a pretins că ar fi gol. De fapt, cercetările noastre arată că era plin ochi de monede virtuale. Nu e primul astfel de cufăr pe care îl dezgropăm, semn clar că monedele virtuale erau foarte răspândite în regatul lui Burebista”, spune Tom Zamolxe, profesor de dacologie.
„Ca şi astăzi, în spaţiul locuit de daci circulau foarte multe monede virtuale, de exemplu mânzcoinul, brânzcoinul, bitdâmbul, liteviezurele şi poate cel mai preţios, dârzcoinul”, adaugă profesorul simerian.
„Pentru că valoarea acestora varia foarte mult, chiar şi de la un dac la altul, triburile erau într-o perpetuă stare de război. Romanii au rezolvat situaţia luându-le aproape toţi dârzcoinii, mânzcoinii şi brânzcoinii şi folosindu-i pentru a ridica o columnă invizibilă, care şi astăzi poate fi intuită lângă mult mai celebra columnă a lui Traian.”

Clapper and Comey both admitted in congressional hearings that there was no evidence tying Trump to the Russians - Comey asked for more resources to keep the 'fishing expedition' alive for his left-wing friends - we saw him lose sight of the statutes at a previous hearing when he started talking about intent when the statute has no quarter for it - how many lesser military people were jailed for the same offence committed by HRC - I would say Comey was fired for cause in this case and all the innuendo about Russian interference blah, blah, blah is just noise to distract from the real crimes committed by Rice and Farakas and the illegal leaks of information by Obama administration appointees - but lets not let the facts get int eh way of a good witch-hunt of man that is despised by left-wing ideologues and progs everywhere

I don't know the exact answer, but I do know SOMETHING needs to change. You really think the way things are currently with the amount of gun-related killings in the US is acceptable? Can you say that with a straight face?
One thing that came to mind after the Las Vegas shooting was the fact that that guy was able to buy dozens of guns in the span of a single year. That kind of thing seems ridiculous and something that needs to be stopped.
I never claimed that I had the answer. All I said is that things really need to change. I'm sick of seeing killing after killing in the US due to guns, NOT from tyrannic oppressors looking to steal our liberty, but from American citizens killing other American citizens! As a life-long American citizen, it's infuriating!
EDIT: Sorry, the LV shooter didn't buy "dozens" of guns in the past calendar year; it was "only" 33 (which does, technically, qualify as "dozens").
