A_Young: "New devices, based on radar, ultrasound and magnetic imaging, are currently under development for the detection of concealed weapons. .. Ballistocardiogram technology has given rise to 'heartbeat detectors' which can find persons hiding in vehicles."
A_Young: "A television or VCR can be designed so that a pin number has to be entered whenever the unit is disconnected from mains power for a prescribed period. In the future, PIN numbers are likely to be replaced by biometric authentication and identification devices."

A_Young: More reasons not to use PayPal (for donations this time)
A_Young: Classic quote: "I received the first standard Paypal response about privacy; but today, I received the following. The weird thing about this is - I don't even have a Paypal account. 'Dear PayPal Member, On 03/11/03, I sent you an email regarding your PayPal account. As part of PayPal's commitment to excellence, ..'"
A_Young: 'nother one: ".. I simply mail .. the PayPal letter with no comments other than, 'see why they cancelled WRH for yourself'. Out of curiosity they go to your website. How wonderful! More informed electorates!!! I can finally have conversations with people I otherwise couldn't talk to about 'what's really happening'."
A_Young: I _LOVE_ the word 'hissy-fit'. It's a fetish of mine. Mmmmmm

silentfury: Cop runs over protester purposely, then tries to kill him by depriving him of ambulance.
A_Young: "This was followed by cursing, using God's name in vain, and then the dad spit on the commandment right in front of his children and called me a -- - coward. I said a prayer for them. Blessed are the children."
A_Young: So the cops had to run her down. Obviously. "Another police officer was yelling at me: 'get up...get up before we run you down again...you're in the way of our car, get out of here or we'll hit you again.'"
A_Young: This story needs photos .. at least of the scene, even if not of the actual event
A_Young: "The officer refused to allow the IndyMedia reporter and my friend to be witnesses (both refused to say that I ran into the car, as the officer demanded)."
A_Young: "The doctor whispered in my ear 'They tried to kill you.'"
A_Young: from the comments page ".. I have a friend who was nearly killed by a cop car in a high speed chase against someone else. She was an innocent bystander in another (stopped) car which was broadsided by the police cruiser. Once she finally got to court, 6 years later, the judge said "case dismissed" based on sovereign immunity."
A_Young: Violence of police at this event (is it the same event? I don't know DC) corroborated at indymedia: "Breaking News from Saturday .. 1:10pm: A motorcycle officer is hitting people at 15th and H. .. 3:45pm .. Other protesters surrounded the officer and legal observer, and they were hit with batons. The remaining legal observers got the badge numbers of the officers in
seti: ...ncident. They are Metro Police." (A_Young)
A_Young: Breaking news: District of Columbia - EMS has confirmed report number

Lew Rockwell on Bill Moyers: War Does NOT Help the Economy
posted by ololiuhqui at 2003-03-25 02:14

ololiuhqui: "...the New Deal didn't work. And really we didn't get out of the depression until probably 1948 or 1949. What the war did do was help the unemployment statistics by killing a lot of the unemployed."

Augustine's Tenets of Just War

ololiuhqui: Actually this may be better
ololiuhqui: Also, Lew Rockwell interview regarding Iraq and Just War theory
ololiuhqui: "The main problem with the just war criterion is that it is an abstraction. It exists on the level of theory only because there is no entity that can enforce it. Every state going to war can be expected to claim a just cause, and there will always be intellectuals to echo these claims."
