Reconsidering The Relationship Between Sex, Power, Rape & Porn

Posted on November 10, 2008 - Filed Under Living Free | Leave a Comment

Let’s start out with a definition from WordNet-

(n) factoid (something resembling a fact; unverified (often invented) information that is given credibility because it appeared in print)

Now for some ‘actual’ factoids-

Rape has nothing to do with sex.  Rape is all about power.

Pornography leads to rape.

I know y’all have heard both of these factoids repeatedly.  The vast majority of you, no doubt, believe at least one of them to be true, and have likely uttered them yourselves.  Have you ever stopped to question…

Cops Will Be Cops

Posted on September 13, 2008 - Filed Under Police | Leave a Comment

My local newspapers have been full of cops lately.  Not in the “cops shoot dog”, “cops shoot citizen”, “cops shoot other cops”, sense that I so typically write about here.  Not even in the “cops trample rights” way that is barely even news anymore here in America.  No, the Gilroy Police are wasting money, while the Morgan Hill Police are begging for money.

Trucknapped?  Bronconapped?  Whatever!  He’s being held for ransom by an unscrupulous mechanic named Mike at Bill’s Custom Transmission here in Morgan Hill.  You can read the whole sordid story over on my Morgan Hill blog, but the short version is that the guy’s had my Bronco for almost a week, I know nothing more about the transmission problems it is having, and he wants me to pay $525 for an inspection that he openly admits was never done!

Since the government…

From the “Is This Really News?” department comes this recent story posted at NewScientist.com and titled Why satnavs are a detective’s best friend-

The way in-car and portable GPS receivers store records of their owner’s past movements is a boon for crimefighters, according to London’s Metropolitan Police.

The gadgets can store hundreds of records of recent locations…

Liberty Dollar / Hawaii Dala Lawsuit Finally Filed

Posted on June 26, 2008 - Filed Under Living Free | Leave a Comment

Liberty Dollar More than seven months after the federal government raided the offices and warehouse of the Liberty Dollar organization (formerly known as NORFED), the much ballyhooed lawsuit has finally been filed … sort of. It took until June 9, 2008 for an actual formal request for the return of the materials to be made, and until June 17, 2008 for a lawsuit demanding the return of the items confiscated to be filed. Why did it take so long? Well according to Bernard…

County Sheriff Stands Up To Feds … And Wins!

Posted on May 14, 2008 - Filed Under Police | Leave a Comment

Okay, I’m pretty late with this story (it’s from February), but I told y’all I had some serious catching up to do. On to the news…

From the Keene Free Press-

Bighorn County Sheriff Dave Mattis spoke at a press conference following a recent U.S. District Court decision (Case No. 2:96-cv-099-J (2006)) and announced that all federal officials are forbidden to enter his county without his prior approval ……
