Who voted that down? Did I disagree with your favorite commercial media journalist? So sorry for the faux paux. So embarrassed. Will make mental note to pick extra cotton from your master's salt mines when my time comes to leave the sh

The talk of need for separation of Church and State is one thing (and absolutely valid), but I think the largest threat to the world, indeed the largest threat the world has ever known, is the marriage between (American) State and (American

What if there's some weird loophole among the Five Eyes participants that ignores payphones in favor of other landlines and cells?

Seek out non-profits in your area and volunteer to help build web-presences for them- websites, social networking, etc. Just assisting with spreading the word can do wonders sometimes. Or go further and offer a contest, of so many hours of
