Ah, government interference in the market. Gotta love rent seekers who get the government to do their bidding. In this case it's the major carriers who have twisted the arms of the bureaucrats and got them to do their bidding. If you've got a phone you want unlocked you'd best get to it...

Apparently its being made illegal to feed homeless in different cities across the US. :dunno: Activist Post: 70-year-old Charity Told to Stop Feeding Homeless in Seattle

Yep. The time has come and now it's time for the venerable ol' 75 to go the way of the 100. I never was a huge fan of the 75. It filled a niche I didn't really need filled. Now that it's gone, it'll be missed. Next year we lose those stalwart 60 and 40's. Thanks, Dubya! I like having fewer...
I have been thinking a lot lately about the folks saying we need more gun control laws and it dawned on me that laws do not protect anyone. At best they provide a way to obtain justice after someone is a victim. Murder, pointing a loaded firearm, possession at a school are all laws that did...
Newly drafted rules propose prison time and enormous fines for breaking water ordinances and animal waste regulations. There will even be a 24-hour snitch hotline to report if your neighbor sprinkled water on his driveway. :n00b:

Bring on the nanny state :rockwoot:
The EPA has dictated, without any new law passed by Congress, that gas stations may not sell less than 4 gallons of gasoline per customer. As I write this, the minimum price you will pay at the pump, according to this rule, will be around $16.00.
Aside from just being a dictatorial move from...
Yet another nanny state enforcer arrested an innocent person on trumped up charges. Where is the basic common sense in the thing blue line? I'm thinking it's a rarity, not common at all. Here's a woman who was sitting watching her kids and, because some busybody decided to get involved in...
Immigration? Nope. Different ICE.
This ICE unit is the Intensified Collegiate Enforcement. My favorite was the citation issued for possession of tobacco. ICE officials say this is a program to curb drinking on college campuses. Does anyone think this will help solve the problem? Or, is...

Code enforcement gets caught illegally entering a home
To bad she wasn't armed, she should have lit that disgusting fat body up the second she realized someone was in her house.
I hope she presses charges.
Quick question for you respectable LEO's & anyone else that is an authority.
Is it lawful to pull someone over SOLELY for the reason of not wearing a seat belt?
I realize it is the law, it is my personal belief it is a bad law & has no place in the USA.
