Burn baby burn

For the record, I believe that those who want to make burning the U.S. flag illegal are as emotionally immature as the ragtag bands of fanatical Muslims who run around screaming and rioting when they hear someone might have desecrated the Koran.
My advice to Orrin Hatch and cronies - grow up, you’re wasting time on [...]

TSA gathers database about every U.S. traveler

Don’t worry - the government only does good things for good reasons. You can relax. Someone else will take care of it.
That’s why it shouldn’t bother you that the Transportation Security Administration is saying one thing and doing another, in violation of directives specifically given to it by Congress. I’m not a big fan of [...]

Civilization IV release date draws nearer
