] Once upon a time, there was a SPC Schwarz stationed with
] the Army in the Balkans. SPC Schwarz was either very
] clever or very bored; but probably both, since he managed
] to attempt or be warned about 213 things he wasn't
] allowed to do. He collected those things into a
] hillarious list and posted them to the web. The site
] hadn't been updated in a couple of years and has since
] gone away; but the list is classic, so I saved it.

There are some great ones in here..

87. If the thought of something makes me giggle for longer than 15 seconds, I am to assume that I am not allowed to do it.

I live by that rule.. :)

While everyone is freaking out about their Tivos, Jeremy mentioned a much more serious issue. The fact is that TV only shows you popular culture. There are limited circumstances where surveillance of TV watching habits would really be problematic politically. TV is the soma. The Internet, on the other hand, makes your local library look tame. Google knows everything that you've thought about seriously in past 5 years. And what Google knows, the police know.

If they don't need permission or notification to pull your records from the library, how long before they can do the same with your Google records?

Whoever purchases this vehicle has the legal right to know who the former owner was on the vehicle.The former owner was Gary L. Ridgway all so known as the Green River Killer this is the facts of the car I am not looking to get rich off of the sale of the car I am only asking $12,000. I purchased the vehicle in 1996 directly from Gary Ridgway from an ad in the Kent News Journal. At the time no one knew he was the Green River Killer, I do not know him personally and at the time he was a very likable person. I was contacted by the Green River Task Force last year and asked to notify them who buys the car.If you want a car with history this has it. My wife said it's time to sell she does not like driving in the car.

I wonder if there's blood stains in the trunk.

] Why Pirate Radio Is Currently Legal
]
] Thanks to George Bush for declaring the "War Against
] Terrorism" and U.S. Code of Federal Regulations title 47
] section 73.3542, it is now technically legal to operate a
] radio transmitter with out a formal license.

Pirate Cat Radio is a pirate station here in the bay area. 87.9 is the best thing on the airwaves. They are also streaming so folks can listen from anywhere.

] By signing the bill on the day of Hussein's capture, Bush
] effectively consigned a dramatic expansion of the USA
] Patriot Act to a mere footnote. Consequently, while most
] Americans watched as Hussein was probed for head lice,
] few were aware that the FBI had just obtained the power
] to probe their financial records, even if the feds don't
] suspect their involvement in crime or terrorism.

] The Senate passed it with a voice vote to avoid
] individual accountability. While broadening the
] definition of "financial institution," the Bush
] administration is ramping up provisions within the 2001
] USA Patriot Act, which granted the FBI the authority to
] obtain client records from banks by merely requesting the
] records in a "National Security Letter." To get the
] records, the FBI doesn't have to appear before a judge,
] nor demonstrate "probable cause" - reason to believe that
] the targeted client is involved in criminal or terrorist
] activity. Moreover, the National Security Letters are
] attached with a gag order, preventing any financial
] institution from informing its clients that their records
] have been surrendered to the FBI. If a financial
] institution breaches the gag order, it faces criminal
] penalties. And finally, the FBI will no longer be
] required to report to Congress how often they have used
] the National Security Letters.

How the hell was this able to happen without public discourse and debate!?!?!?!

This is the first I have heard of this. We can't let our government tinker with laws that effect our civil liberties without pubic discourse. This is really, really, really, serious. Something needs to be done! This is a _BIG_ problem! The laws that protect our rights are being changed, and great lengths are being gone through to keep it secret!

If this can happen without a hitch, then anything can happen without a hitch. I think we can officially declare now, that we have lost control of our country to this current Administration, and they are in the process of destroying what has made America powerful and great, our openness. If this type of "governing" is allowed to continue, we might as well give this country a new name and flag, because its changed.

I don't believe I'm hearing about this FIFTEEN DAYS after its been signed into law.

Patriot II was signed into law under our noses...
