Under a Gibbous Moon

Who the fuck needs a warrant or probable cause or any of that. Evidently a judge has decided that the outside surface of your car is public property. I never understand people that comment on stories about violating constitutional rights. Apparently if you aren’t doing anything that you feel is wrong, then you shouldn’t need the Constitution. I want to quote Ben Franklin here, but I think we all know which quote I’m going for.

Governments never take a dramatic action to remove freedom. They always will one step people into total tyranny.

I can honestly say, I don’t like Facebook. I don’t even remember the last time I checked it.

At one point, it was useful. It allowed people to easily stay in contact with friends who lived in disparate parts of the country or even the world. At some point though, that changed. Facebook changed into VagueAcquaintanceBook. I see people who have several hundred “friends” even though they are actually the ex-brother-in-law of the sister whose cousin they met at a party one time.

FaceBook also changed into SpamBook. I got really tired of being asked to help someone find the Pearl of Wisdom so that they could could get and extra 100 fun bucks so they could buy the armor they needed to slay the dragon so they could steal his hoard and use the proceeds to adopt a panda. Fine, you like the game but don’t drag me into it.

So until FaceBook actually turns back into Facebook, I’m going to continue not use it.

Damn smelly hippies

I’ve read this article and I’m still not really sure what is going on. I suppose that is the way the law is these days. All I know is the last question is priceless.

If you lose this suit and the court orders you to pay 38 quadrillion dollars, how are you gonna pay?

Gee, If I make $500,000/year and they garnish 90% of my wages, then I will only have to work until I’m a little over 84 billion.

Of course that just makes a sucker out of the plaintiff. Even if the Mayan calendar thing is wrong, the universe will have collapsed long before he ever gets his pay.

It’s like an insta-bankrupt attack. Like back in the SNES days and playing final fantasy and you get to a high level and you are attacked by a butterfly with 3 hp and you do a whirlwind attack for 300,000 damage–splat– butterfly is now defeated.

You don’t even have to add up all your assets and properties and what not. Just take off your pants and walk away.
