Fourth Amendment, government, idiots, rights, travel
Of course, we have a multitude of idiots in Amerika. I'm sure most see no problem at all with tossing the Bill of Rights.
If you're traveling outside the United States this summer you might want to rethink taking your electronics along. Government agents have been detaining American citizens without arrest, searching, and in some cases downloading the entire contents of phones, tablets, laptops, and other devices. And this all happens without a warrant or access to an attorney.
"The border has become a rights-free zone for Americans who have to travel," Senator Ron Wyden said in a statement to TAC. "The founders never could have imagined that the government would be able to sift through your entire digital life, from pictures to emails and even where you've been, just because you decide to take a vacation or travel for work."
Border searches of electronic devices have exploded at an exponential rate in recent years: in 2018, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) searched over 33,295 smartphones, laptops, and other electronic devices; up nine percent from fiscal year 2017 and over six times the number searched in 2012. And that's just the statistics from CBP; Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) does not maintain records of the number of electronic device searches it conducts.
"The government is accessing all your private data," Sophia Cope, senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), told TAC. These "deeply intrusive" searches of electronic devices "reveal a lot about you: your emails, contacts, bank history, internet searches, medical history, social media usage, and political beliefs."
A clear and clean strategy suggests itself. While citizens are locked in cages and searched and threatened, foreign invaders freely cross into the country, without hindrance and even with the assistance of the feds.

America, invasion, law, rights, TSA
Literally. This is what happens when the rule of law leaves a failed nation. As your rights are trampled, as you are filmed, poked, prodded, x-rayed, and interrogated, invaders from afar breeze through in admitted (further) violation of the law.
The federal agency tasked with overseeing security at transportation hubs has been violating its own policy by allowing migrants who have been released from federal custody onto flights despite not having required documents, according to several Department of Homeland Security officials.
For the past six months, the Transportation Security Administration has allowed migrants released from the custody of other Homeland Security agencies to board flights to other parts of the country despite the passengers lacking any of the 15 documents it states are the only acceptable forms of identification.
Since early December, the agency has avoided temporarily changing federal policy and also not introduced a permanent solution to address this new phenomenon, despite no indication border apprehensions and mass releases are slowing down any time soon.
This is the permanent solution. The new normal in an abnormal age. Y'all need to vote harder or something.

Far worse news:
The Irish Vote to Murder Babies
The people of Ireland are set to liberalize some of the world's most restrictive abortion laws by a landslide, two exit polls from a referendum showed on Friday, as voters demanded change in what two decades ago was one of Europe's most socially conservative countries.
They actually voted to amend their constitution to refute the right to life for unborn children. This is progress for women and children. "Making history," growled the Prime Minister. The "Justice" Minister called it "another big step out of our dark past." The Minister for Children was an advocate of the vote – to take away rights and life from children.
Those Irish stereotypes come to mind for some reason.
The Queen has the power to stop this. Her failure to do so will completely justify the delegitimization of the Crown.

America, Eric Peters, Fifth Amendment, Fourth Amendment, rights
This weekend the moms got mad and marched on Washington. Well, probably not so many moms – they have families to manage. Mad women. Womyn. Unhinged, incoherent, blue-haired womyn. Demanding something. Razors or bombing the White House or something. Demonstrating their collective right to litter freely.
Peters launched his own protest against actual lost rights, specifically the Fourth and Fifth Amendments as applied to motoring.
America is in trouble because Americans got lazy. Not so much physically but morally. They began to care more about some passing thing than about the things that truly matter; the things that made America unlike other places.
Better than other places.
Things like principles; the plain meaning of words. The Fourth and Fifth Amendments, especially. Which were (past tense deliberate) laws written to articulate and protect principles that matter.
No clovers. EPAutos.
Worth a read. And we're only some 30 or so years into this madness. There is still time to reverse it. That is, if we care to. This will require getting off the mental couch. Ours, not the blue-hairs' "mental" couch.
This Will Not End Well

Either for us or for them.
A European Parliament committee has voted in favor of a draft report that proposes granting legal status to robots, categorizing them as "electronic persons".
The draft report, approved by 17 votes to two and two abstentions by the European Parliament Committee on Legal Affairs, proposes that "The most sophisticated autonomous robots could be established as having the status of electronic persons with specific rights and obligations, including that of making good any damage they may cause."
The report also calls for robot definitions and subcategories to be proposed based on the device's autonomy, making certain categories with higher autonomy more responsible for their actions.
"Whereas in the scenario where a robot can take autonomous decisions, the traditional rules will not suffice to activate a robot's liability, since they would not make it possible to identify the party responsible for providing compensation and to require this party to make good the damage it has caused," the report reads.
Humans don't get along with each all that well. Imagine competing with something smarter, faster, stronger, and not bound by foolishness or other emotion. Or don't imagine it. You'll be living it in a matter of a few short years.
And, that this comes from the idiotic EU is disturbing but almost makes sense. No doubt, they will welcome their new robot masters. I will too – with a shotgun.
Time will tell. Developing … rapidly.
Firearms Ownership: A Universal Right
America, Constitution, Dred Scott v. Sandford, firearms, freedom, government, gun control, guns, law, Miller, rights, Second Amendment, The People
The elites and the gun grabbers are desperately counting on racial and other divides in order to exact more gun control, more people control, on the population. The problem, for them, is that we are not so divided as they would like.
Gavin Long, the racist who killed three police officers in Louisiana this weekend had a history of hating "crackers". However, that did not seem to stop him from shooting and killing black and white officers alike. Even he wasn't divided; he just saw blue targets. Some would surely love to pounce on these murders to further freedom controls. Hussein Obama wants the police to admit they have a problem. Gersh Kuntzman blames the "gun nuts". Many will suggest, other issues aside, that blacks (and whites) simply are not safe in our culture of firearms. Facts failing them, they will resort to emotional appeals related to the spate of statistically insignificant but culturally damning shootings of late.
Their problem here, and it is a wonderful problem, with blacks and guns is that blacks have adopted the gun culture. Once upon a time firearms may have been the province of white males in the rural parts. Now, it's everyone. Men, women, all races – everyone is carrying.
Many blacks astutely recognized the importance of gun ownership years and years ago. In 1867 Frederick Douglass hailed firearms ownership as one of the three hallmarks of a free man and his rights ("the ballot box, the jury box and the cartridge box").
From local and state regulations in early America through the Gun Control Act of 1968, many control and prohibition laws were aimed at disarming blacks. One racist strategy was to limit the availability of cheaper guns, "Saturday night specials", as these were frequently the only arms economically obtainable by blacks (and other groups of lower socio-economic status).
Indeed, the U.S. Supreme Court went so far as to list the carrying of arms as a right blacks were not entitled to (as they were not considered citizens). In relegating blacks to either second-class or chattel status, Roger Taney reasoned:
More especially, it cannot be believed that the large slaveholding States regarded them as included in the word citizens, or would have consented to a Constitution which might compel them to receive them in that character from another State. For if they were so received, and entitled to the privileges and immunities of citizens, it would exempt them from the operation of the special laws and from the police regulations which they considered to be necessary for their own safety. It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognised as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, singly or in companies, without pass or passport, and without obstruction, to sojourn there as long as they pleased, to go where they pleased at every hour of the day or night without molestation, unless they committed some violation of law for which a white man would be punished; and it would give them the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to keep and carry arms wherever they went. And all of this would be done in the face of the subject race of the same color, both free and slaves, and inevitably producing discontent and insubordination among them, and endangering the peace and safety of the State.
Dred Scott v. Sanford, 60 U.S. 393, 416-417 (1857)(emphasis added).
The grabbers and the intellectually lazy of the legal education profession for decades overlooked this enumerated right in Scott and as set forth similarly in other cases in favor of a simplistic reading of Miller (1939). I recall reading once in a Constitutional Law book a footnote – the only mention given the Second Amendment – that stated Miller was the only Second Amendment case in history. As the Court did not expressly affirm absolute firearms rights therein, the 2A didn't confer an individual right and was barely a part of the Constitution.
My reading of Miller, as poor an opinion as Scott, always led me to believe the Court had affirmed an individual right to keep and bear military-grade weaponry. The gun Miller possessed, a saw-off shotgun, was determined to be of no military value despite the use of such guns, martially, for centuries. The short-barreled shotgun has continued to see combat since – most notably perhaps in the tunnels of Vietnam.
It also struck me as interesting that people could lawfully possess weapons of war but might be precluded from possessing "ordinary" arms. If one has a right to a battlefield rifle or a machine gun, what was the harm in owning a bird gun or a .22 plinker?
George Gardner.
Subsequent rulings, this Century, have definitively settled the matter though in a shaded fashion which leaves open the possibility of state meddling.
They want to meddle and they want it badly. Evidence and sound logic ever eluding them, they continue to exploit instances of misfortune and fickle public sentiments. It is a joy and a wonder that their efforts are failing as more and more people wake up. Black, white, yellow, red – all are universally entitled to universal rights, which the left hates and opposes with universal fury.
An armed society is a polite society – for everyone.
What is Gun Control?

For some it's about taking advantage of tragedy and belittling those they hate. I almost didn't include this first story due to the inherently bigotry and low-brow "journalism" behind it. Still, here it is. A woman in Texas, a self-described Second Amendment proponent and gun owner, committed an atrocious crime (the facts of which I don't have and don't want) – she apparently murdered her own daughters after an argument. The woman was also shot and killed by the police. Three women dead for no good reason – terrible.
Enter Helen Thompson writing on American News X. Thompson offered up an assessment of the crime in terms both racist and anti-Christian.
Too bad for Christian Christy Byrd Sheats two daughter's, 17 and 22, Sheats had a gun with which to "protect her family." That gun was used to gun down both girls in the street after a family argument.
Sheats was then killed by police after refusing to drop her weapon, literally bringing home the insanity of the famed phrase "from my cold, dead, hands."
Note the immediate description of the shooter as a Christian. Would Thompson dare describe a Muslim terrorist as a Muslim terrorist? I think not. I did a quick Googling of "Helen Thompson" and "Muslim" and the first thing I saw was Thompson berating Donald Trump for trying to "initiate a Muslim witch hunt". I guess witch hunts aren't even for witches anymore – just Christians.
Thompson continues:
This woman appears to be the poster child of white, GOP America. She praised her religion, loved veterans and country music, praised Ronnie Reagan and George W., and loved her guns. She was a Texas resident, originally from Alabama. This woman literally reeked of right wing Americana — of normal, gun-loving life. She loved her grandmother, had been bitten by a black widow, and basically, seemed to love life and her children.
The white America. Would Thompson ever write about one of the thousands of murders committed by blacks each year (47% of total murders vs. 10% of the population)? No. It's just a white, Christian, all-American kind of thing. Y'all wouldn't understand.
Thompson didn't even call for more gun control beyond her ridicule. "No good guy with a gun stopped this senseless murder by a 'good guy' with a gun," she ranted – what a tired, worn, anecdotal, and worthless "argument". If not even true in this case – the police officer "good guy" used a gun to stop the white, Christian bad gal.
Maybe some of the problems the left has with guns in America comes more from a hatred of America and its people than from a hatred of guns. These cretins, seething in their hatred, want the government to disarm all the white Christians – and everyone else of decent persuasion.
I have no use for the government at all. Some people on "my side" do. Droves of my friends boast about obtaining their concealed carry permits. Actress Kelly McGillis just joined the ranks of the permitted carriers following an attack at her North Carolina home.
I like that they have armed themselves in a world seemingly gone mad but I do not like the way they have done it. Why a permit from the state? I know it's the law in most places. I understand that. Most people who get the permits are law-abiding. It's a law that shouldn't be abided by – or exist. Why should there be permits for the exercise of the right to carry anyway? Rights do not require permission slips.
I sympathize with and applaud Mrs. McGillis's decision to arm and defend herself. I found it odd though that she took the measure following a home invasion. North Carolina does not require a permit of any kind to defend oneself at one's home. I realize she obviously wants protection outside her house too. Thus the permit. And, thus, my problem.
Running to the government for permission to protect one's life is little different in my mind to running to the government to prohibit others from protecting themselves. Either way, the government is not the answer. Usually, it's the problem.
In a sense everyone wants reasonable "gun control". Some, like Thompson, would have the state "control" guns by banning them from white, Christian hands at least. Gun owners generally favor the responsible, personal "control" of the individual firearm. If, to them, that means acquiescing to a state law, then they do it. Either way it's the state, the state, the state. How about some gun control for the state itself?
In addition to regulating firearms, the government has a long history of widely distributing them, usually with terrible consequences. Most of government works like that – they find a small problem and come up with a solution that creates a bigger problem. I suppose it justifies their existence. I don't see the need.
A few years ago the ATF was caught red-handed selling and then giving guns to Mexican drug cartels and to criminals. Some of those guns came back, fast and furious, and were used to kill Americans. The ATF isn't alone. They are novices compared to the CIA. The "intelligence" agency has taken to giving arms to Syrian "rebels". Many of those weapons were stolen and ended up on the black market – gun show of choice for terrorists. And, you guessed it, some of those arms have killed Americans. By arming one side (maybe more) of this conflict which does not concern the U.S. the government helps generate more angry "refugees" who then migrate to the West for various purposes – some for aid and reflief, others for revenge and crime. Little problem, "solution", bigger problems.
Government agent Joe Biden oversees "gun control" while exploiting "loopholes" at a Jordanian gun show. NYT.
The left tries to scare people with stories of white, Christian Americans wielding automatic assault rifles and rocket launchers. They want the government to do something about it despite the fact it isn't a problem. The government does do something! It supplies "Kalashnikov assault rifles, mortars and rocket-propelled grenades" to rebels and then to the black market and to terrorists. Nice, huh?
Another of the left's arguments for more government control is that the firearms available when the Second Amendment was ratified were flintlocks and thus those are the only ones the people are entitled to keep and bear. By that logic, shouldn't the CIA be running muskets and not rocket launchers? Maybe people like Thompson should limit their writing to quill pens. All beside the point.
How about less government for a change? How about limiting or banning the state's use of firearms (and rockets and grenades)? Might that make for a safer society? As is, they give us freedom control, crime, war, mindless intervention, black markets, and terrorism; all that in addition to rules, regulations, taxes, inflation, oppression, etc. More government, more crime. Why have it or its controls?
After the Lord Mayor's Show

America, banksters, Europe, government, Great Britain, human rights, law, London, rights, Sidiq Khan, The People, The West, UKIP, voting
The voters of London have elected a new mayor. Sadiq Khan is the first Muslim mayor of the Imperial Capital City, indeed the first elected mayor of any major Western Capital. The Drudge Report is aghast as is some of the right-ish media. I am not.
Drudge. May 7, 2016.
I have been a harsh critic of the mass migration/invasion of Europe and the West by incompatible third-worlders, particularly by radical Islamists. I am not as pessimistic (realistic, maybe) as Taki; I think the problems are far-gone but not gone too far just yet. It was with this perspective that I analyzed the London election. Things are not always what they seem on the surface. As far as it goes, I rather like Mr. Khan.
First, consider the demographics behind the election. London is a massive city with nearly 10 million residents centered in a metropolitan region of nearly 15 million. Status-wise it is a combination of New York City and Washington, D.C. Until the rise of those cities in the previous century London was the financial and political center of the world (it still vies heavily for the title). London, unlike its American relatives, is an ancient city; Londinium was settled by the Romans in 43 AD. It was fully resettled by Island natives two centuries before William swept across the Channel (with a certain Lovett in train, by the way).
London was the capital of an Empire which controlled vast swaths of the Americas, Africa, and the East, near and far. Over the past five decades from its former colonies have come a multitude of non-Westerners. The City is now about half non-white, non-native British; more than 40% of the population is foreign born. This recent sea-change explains, partially, how a Muslim named Kahn could get elected.
Now, let us look at the man who was elected. Khan's parents are Indian, by way of Pakistan (both former British colonies). The family arrived in London in the late 1960s. Sadiq was born in 1970, the fifth of eight children.
Khan, like many immigrants prior to the welfare/terrorism/"refugee" hoards, was a hard worker from an early age. He ran a paper route and worked construction before going to law school. After school he worked as a solicitor (trial attorney). His specialty was human rights.
Some of his cases handled as a solicitor have an American-sounding slant. In Bubbins vs. The United Kingdom, [2005] All ER (D) 290, European Court of Human Rights, (Mar., 2005), Khan successfully represented the family of an unarmed Britain gunned down by police snipers (sound familiar, America?).
Khan, not particularly dangerous looking. Wiki.
Politically, Khan has held various elected and appointed positions including powerful shadow offices. Under the British model, the out-of-power party always maintains a shadow government, inactive but ready to assume operation unless or until called in via a political change, which can occur rapidly under the parliamentary system.
Khan is a British Liberal's liberal but not necessarily a Muslim's Muslim. His stance in favor of gay "marriage" earned him a death sentence and led an Imam to declare him no Muslim at all. It appears his politics will suit the current flavor of London well. If he maintains his defense of human rights, he may be a breath of fresh air.
Now for a brief glimpse at the competition. In Britain, as in America and other places, many cheer on "their" party and candidates with psychotic fervor. Labor and Tory are nearly synonymous with Democrat and Republican. The "conservatives" usually demonstrate one can't spell "conservative" without "con".
Against Khan the Tories ran one Zacharias Goldsmith (nee Goldschmidt). Like many Tories, Goldschmidt says the right things for the wrong reasons. London is a major finance center. Zac opposes tax increases, not because they amount to theft, but because he desperately wants to protect banksters. He has good reason as his extraordinarily wealthy family is in league with the Rothschilds. The Gold-Ss (whatever money-changing term in whatever language) also immigrated to Britain – having crept in during the mid Seventeenth Century.
Whatever his conservative positions are, behind them one will expect to find that Zac holds them out of expedience and only to promote his family's interests. He is of a class Cato once equated with murderers. He, unlike Khan, has never done manual labor and likely doesn't give a damn about human rights. I may be wrong but I doubt it.
I have not in too deeply investigated the election beyond the news stories. If I lived in London and if I bothered to vote, I would have likely supported Peter Whittle or some other UKIP candidate – I relish throwing away a good vote. Between the two major parties the people seem to have picked the better man, certainly the lesser of two evils.
Now for the clean up if you happen to know what my title means.

Perrin's definition of government: (Noun) (originating around 10,000 B.C. in Hell) A collection of psychopathic control freaks hell-bent on minding everyone else's business at gun point. This lowly institution is good for killing people, enriching bankers, and not much else.
Show me a government, any government, and I'll show you a murder of monstrous, freedom-crushing maniacs. Meddlesome at best, Satanic at worst, an unfit concept long passed over by civilization.
Texas once had a law banning the sale of dildos – not making that up. One woman was actually prosecuted after holding a sales party at her home. Several adult entertainment businesses sued the State claiming a Fourteenth Amendment Due Process violation. See: Reliable Consultants, Inc., et al. v. Earle and The State of Texas, 517 F.3d 738, Slip Op. 06-51067 (5th Cir., 2008). The Fifth Circuit struck down the law and struck a blow for individual freedom (as corny a freedom as may be…).
The Texas Solicitor who argued (in vain) against the sale of rubber weapons of mass destruction was none other than Presidential candidate Ted "Glen Beck's Man Crush" Cruz – he the victor of the recent Colorado GOP non primary. I'm not sure how much tax money he wasted on the case (Federal Court ain't cheap rent). He did obviously waste the time of the Judges, earning himself a 2-1 overthrow. Teddy declined to take the case higher. Lonely housewives breathed easier. Or, rapidly. Something.
The Fifth Circuit took down Texas's law in as much because of Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. at 578 (2003) (a la Bowers v. Hardwick) as because the government presented no evidence of any legitimate state interest necessitating such an idiotic, overbearing, busybody ban in the first place. More on legitimacy in a moment. The Court held: "The State's primary justifications for the statute are "morality based." The asserted interests include "discouraging prurient interests in autonomous sex and the pursuit of sexual gratification unrelated to procreation and prohibiting the commercial sale of sex." Reliable, Id. at Slip 10.
Perhaps recognizing that public morality is an insufficient justification for the statute after Lawrence, the State asserts that an interest the statute serves is the "protection of minors and unwilling adults from exposure to sexual devices and their advertisement." It is undeniable that the government has a compelling interest in protecting children from improper sexual expression. However, the State's generalized concern for children does not justify such a heavy-handed restriction on the exercise of a constitutionally protected individual right. Ultimately, because we can divine no rational connection between the statute and the protection of children, and because the State offers none, we cannot sustain the law under this justification.
Id, at 11 (double emphasis added).
The State and Teddy came to battle with no factual evidence and a shaky "moral" legal argument. Morals are good. Their best in their place. Many are upset by the notion that one cannot legislate morality. A ruling like this is salt in their wounds. Their reaction is evidence of their own lack of morality, of a substitution of the Divine with the positive. God will handle matters related to morality. He does not need help from Texas or any other band of liars and thieves. Speaking of morality and Ted Cruz, Ted now advocates carpet bombing. Incinerating civilians is much more moral than selling a vibrator; God will surely agree.
The moment has come! Let's look at the Texan idea that the state as an interest in banning sex toys in order to protect children and promote procreation (making up our evidence, if needed, as the State provided none). Law professors and black-robed priests prattle on about various standards of state interests – to be weighed against human freedoms or rights. Compelling, rationally related, important, legitimate – all artful when written out in a brief but still bullshit. I care, here, about the factor of legitimacy, real legitimacy. When talking about people (women one would hope) who use these…devices it becomes obvious they are the sorts who are not interested, at the time, in procreation. They're looking for a little fun. They're minding their own business behind closed doors.
Government is not content to leave anyone alone, that much is clear. What, really, honestly, is a state's interest in procreation, children and humans in general. There is no guaranteed supply of people; no state is just entitled to subjects. In their absence the state would have no one to govern, to boss around. Therein lies the interest. Children are future taxpayers to the state. They are future speed trap victims. They are future cannon-fodder to march off to war. It's immoral from the state's perspective to withhold future victims, victims who might be needed to carry out such morality as a carpet bombing run.
The other week another opinion came out a different Court of Appeals on a different topic. Whereas the Fifth Circuit got Reliable right, the Ninth missed the Constitution on searches and seizures in United States v. Magallon-Lopez, ___F.3d___, Slip Op. 14-30249 (9th Cir., March 31, 2016). Different results for freedom but both cases highlight the hateful, demented existence of government.
In Magallon-Lopez the famously liberal Ninth Circuit sided with the police state. "The United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals recently ruled that police officers can lie to suspects in regards to a traffic stop — even when no violation has occurred. The ruling essentially gives police officers carte blanche to stop anyone they want for absolutely no reason — merely acting on a hunch." Matt Agorist, Court Rules Police Can Legally Make Up Lies to Pull People Over to Fish for Criminal Behavior, The Free Thought Project, April 11, 2016.
The criminal subject matter of Magallon is as unpopular as that of Reliable was silly. Defendant Magallon was a meth peddler, unwelcome in most communities. Still, we play the cases we are dealt. Both actions revolve around universal rights and are only brought to light by their subject participants. Both demonstrate government will do anything to abrogate liberty.
The defendant, who did not and could not seriously contest the existence of reasonable suspicion for stopping the car, contended that the stop violated the Fourth Amendment because the officer who pulled him over deliberately lied when stating the reason for the stop, and the reason the officer gave was not itself supported by reasonable suspicion. Rejecting this contention, the panel wrote that so long as the facts known to the officer establish reasonable suspicion to justify an investigatory stop, the stop is lawful even if the officer falsely cites as the basis for the stop a ground that is not supported by reasonable suspicion. The panel concluded that in light of the information obtained during the stop, the officers had probable cause to seize the car.
Magallon-Lopez, Id. at Slip 2 (Summary)(emphasis added).
Magallon and a friend were suspected by the DEA of running drugs. This was known to local Montana police who initiated a traffic stop. The asserted reason for the stop was an improper lane change – a flat lie. The vehicle was seized and searched, meth was found, and the occupants arrested. Again, the police only knew that other police suspected the defendant of carrying drugs (these are illegal for the same specious reasons sex toys were in Texas). The arresting officers had no actual knowledge of real criminal activity. Therefore they lied. And, lying is okay as long as it is done by the government. Given this new standard I may have to refresh How to Interact with the Police – best to just live your life completely in a basement somewhere.
So much for the Fourth Amendment. The Court withheld a ruling on Due Process grounds (really, they did enough). No dissent in this case, just a concurrence which noted that Montana officers are statutorily bound to disclose their (real) reasons for arresting someone. Lying and breaking the law are okay so long as committed by servants of the state.
A "God-fearing" conservative desiring war over privacy. Former "liberals" selling out liberty for lies and lawlessness. No, one doesn't need a government for this – an insane asylum would be enough.

This post concerns the force and effect of the United States Constitution and similar documents. I'll stick with the U.S. version for simplicity and because most state and many foreign constitutions are based on the federal version.
The old parchment is divided into several articles and subsequent amendments. Each of these deals with different legal concepts. Article One grants certain powers to Congress. Article Two does the same for the executive. Amendment Three prohibits the government from sheltering soldiers in your house during peacetime. There are seven primary articles and twenty-seven amendments.
Aside from formal division the Constitution may be properly divided into two parts. Good Constitutional Law professors cover this in first year law school. The notice is generally lost amid a mad scramble to interpret Byzantine case-law and make a living as an attorney. The lesson is almost completely unknown outside of law and political theory education.
The first effective feature of the Constitution is that is allows powers for the government. In fact the Constitution created the federal government. In 1789 those seeking strong central political control replaced the Articles of Confederation which had loosely united the several (and wholly independent) states for a very few mutually beneficial purposes. The first ten amendments, the Bill of Rights, came along two years later as almost an afterthought.
The anti-federalists were concerned that certain fundamental rights needed official recognition and legal protection. Their theory was that a strong government, even of republican nature, could run roughshod over the freedoms of the people – like a dictatorial monarch. The amendments were added without much fuss as it was then concerned the new government, its keepers, and their successors would never seek to abridge such rights as freedom of speech, bearing arms, or freedom from illegal arrest and punishment. No one saw any harm in the additions.
The inclusion of those additional protections proved both prophetic and pointless. Those ten amendments and a few others comprise the other practical function of the Constitution – protection of individual rights.
In an ideal world government would only exist to protect people from those things they would be otherwise vulnerable to. The proper function of law and politics would be a careful balancing of the power of the government and the rights of the people. Powers versus rights. Some legal scholars still wax elegantly about the concept. Their conceptualization is largely just conceptual.
The new federal government lost little time in enacting various laws which curtailed individual liberty. The trend continues to this day in addition to the habit of constantly expanding the realm of federal authority light years beyond what the Constitution allows. The courts, allegedly the arbiters of the balancing test, have largely consented to this gross shift. They too wasted no time in inventing new authority for themselves – "judicial review" for example.
Any review usually ends up empowering the state. They are on the same team after all. The people, now bereft of representation and appellate avenues, are on the outside looking in. Lawyers gleefully await court decisions to tell them what laws really mean. The public, largely fat and ignorant, continues to support this corrupt system with astounding zealous patriotism.
As a result of all this what we are left with is a central government of unlimited power ruling over a nation of peasants who are happy to receive whatever liberty the rulers confer upon them. Every once in a while one or another branch kindly reaffirms some right. These are usually in trivial matters. However, the march to greater control never ceases. It works well as most do not favor freedom. Under the faux two-party system, most go along so long as their side wins on a somewhat regular basis.
In truth, they lose. We all lose. All except for the corrupt politicians and beaurocrats and their corporate crony enablers. The system is wrecked and bears nearly resemblance to even that central authoritarian regimes of the late seventeen Century let along an ideal state.
In modern reality ignorance abounds. Some speak of the right of the government to do some thing or the other. Governments have no rights as they are artificial constructs. Only human individuals have rights. These rights are natural, God-given. Governments can only protect or (more often) abridge those freedoms.
Others decry freedom outright. They declare the people have too many rights. For them, in their simple lives, they may be right. Argument for order and justice is lost on them and a waste of time.
There are those who indulge in the fantasy that a return to the original text and intent of the Constitution would usher in utopia. If this myth was anything but, I could agree with them. The federal government of 1791 would be infinitely better than what we suffer today. That of the Articles would be better yet.
The myth lovers assert the Constitution established a national government of limited scope. Maybe they are correct in theory. In real life no government worth its salt stays limited for long. Geometric growth of government is an iron law of political science.
So it is with freedom and central authority. Mencken.
Lysander Spooner said it best of the lost war of Rights versus Powers: "But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain – that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist." He elaborated: "A man's natural rights are his own, against the whole world; and any infringement of them is equally a crime, whether committed by one man, or by millions; whether committed by one man, calling himself a robber, (or by any other name indicating his true character,) or by millions, calling themselves a government."
I find my view of anarchy criticized at times as belief in fantasy. It is said that men, by their very nature, cannot be trusted for long to maintain free, peaceful association and mutual respect. This, sadly, may be true. It, then, is also true that an honest man, desiring to remain free, cannot trust a government, any government. Belief in central authority is thus misguided. Tell you what, you have your fantasy and I'll have mine. The rest of you have a choice to make: support powers or support rights.

The contrast between ultra-modern cabinets and worn-in wood makes this one-of-a-kind kitchen work. The industrial-yet-rugged look is amplified with simple metal pendants, steel stools, and bright apple green paint on the cabinetry. The amount of natural light in this room prevents the dark wood from leaving the kitchen feeling like a cave. White paneled walls also help to create contrast between the darker wood on the ceiling and floors.
Hardwood floors give this kitchen a rugged quality that is quite the opposite of the modern appliances and accessories that make up the rest of the room. Stark white subway tiles and countertops pop against the deep navy blue cabinets. Steel pulls are sleek and add high-end quality to the room. Navy cabinets almost blend together with their simple facades. An abstract chandelier makes a subtle statement with its plain white color and intricate lines.
A powerful combination of burnt orange and ever-so-light powder blue makes this kitchen a standout. The warmth of the orange walls is juxtaposed by the cool blue and creamy white tones. Dark hardwood floors also work to anchor the room. Turquoise and orange dishes behind the glass cabinets repeat the room's color scheme. Above the cabinets, indigo plates offer another splash of unexpected color.
The unique color combination of copper and cream gives this kitchen a fresh, modern look that is made up of only earth tones. Handmade iron pendants above the island bring yet another metal into the mix among the copper hood and stainless-steel oven and faucet. Reclaimed chestnut wood adds character to the island top. The mosaic backsplash consists of dark chocolate, cream, copper, and small hints of blue tiles. Copper pots and vases carry the copper theme throughout the rest of the room.
Gray and white sounds like a bland combination until you consider the possibilities for accessorizing. In this sedate kitchen, jaunty red transferware perks up a display shelf that's integrated into gray Shaker-style cabinets. Glass-front cabinet doors hold white dishes, but they could just as easily hold red ones. A white subway-tile backsplash frames the classic curves of a gooseneck faucet.
An impressionistic canvas presents all the colors needed to give this kitchen a whimsical attitude. Warm coral walls, cool green upholstered chairs, and a chartreuse area rug offer vibrant color, while white cabinets and black accents keep the tropical palette from overwhelming the space. Striped fabric on a valance and cabinet-door inserts adds a fun pattern to the mix.
Sage-tone greens and maple-tone golds abound in this contemporary kitchen, from the glistening glass mosaic tiles in the backsplash to the variegated floor tiles. Light maple cabinets topped with granite offer a neutral background that lets other surfaces shine. Neutral accessories include white pendants, aluminum barstools, and brushed stainless-steel fixtures.
Warm gray cabinets, white countertops, and sky-blue subway tiles create a kitchen that's restful and serene. Painting the cabinet interiors blue carries the hue nearly up to the ceiling and offers a pretty backdrop for favorite dishes. Blue bucket accent chairs are a cheerful presence in the dining area.
Classic in every way, this traditional-style kitchen sets off its elegant white cabinets and coffered ceiling with warm tan walls. A black-painted island anchors the space. White backsplash tiles and marble countertops create continuity throughout. Wire door inserts add country-style texture in the upper cabinets that flank the range hood.

Q: How to interpret linear regression coefficients from R summary? We are trying to understand the impact of number of workdays on sales.
Please find reprex below:
library(tidyverse)

# Work days for January from 2010 - 2018
data = data.frame(work_days = c(20,21,22,20,20,22,21,21),
           sale = c(1205,2111,2452,2054,2440,1212,1211,2111))

# Apply linear regression
model = lm(sale ~ work_days, data)

summary(model)
Call:
lm(formula = sale ~ work_days, data = data)

Residuals:
   Min     1Q Median     3Q    Max
-677.8 -604.5  218.7  339.0  645.3

Coefficients:
            Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept)  2643.82    5614.16   0.471    0.654
work_days     -38.05     268.75  -0.142    0.892

Residual standard error: 593.4 on 6 degrees of freedom
Multiple R-squared:  0.00333,   Adjusted R-squared:  -0.1628
F-statistic: 0.02005 on 1 and 6 DF,  p-value: 0.892

Could you please help me understand if the coefficients
Every work day decreases the sale by 38.05 ?

data = data.frame(work_days = c(20,21,22,20,20,22,21,21),
           sale = c(1212,1211,2111,1205,2111,2452,2054,2440))

model = lm(sale ~ work_days, data)

summary(model)
Call:
lm(formula = sale ~ work_days, data = data)

Residuals:
   Min     1Q Median     3Q    Max
-686.8 -301.0   -8.6  261.3  599.7

Coefficients:
            Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept)  -6220.0     4555.9  -1.365    0.221
work_days      386.6      218.1   1.772    0.127

Residual standard error: 481.5 on 6 degrees of freedom
Multiple R-squared:  0.3437,    Adjusted R-squared:  0.2343
F-statistic: 3.142 on 1 and 6 DF,  p-value: 0.1267

Does this mean,
Every workday increases the sales by 387 ?
How about the negative intercept ?
Similar questions but couldnt apply the learnings:
Interpreting regression coefficients in R
Interpreting coefficients from Logistic Regression from R
Linear combination of regression coefficients in R

A: Both your interpretations in bold are correct.
The intercept is the fitted value if all predictors have a value of zero. So in your second model, zero workdays would imply sales of -6220. Which illustrates why you can only interpret models over the actually observed range of the predictors - I assume none of your observations come with zero workdays.

Motivation. Teachers know that the success or failure of a student depends mainly on motivation. Helping students set goals to do better on assignments, tests, etc. is one way to help them gain motivation and create a plan for improving their performance.
However, simply having students write vague goals such as, "I will do better on my next math test," or "I will improve my chemistry grade this year," will not be helpful. In order for a goal to be motivating it must have certain characteristics. One useful acronym for setting a good goal is SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time-bound). See our FREE SMART Goal Template for setting SMART Goals at the end of this post.
Poor Goal Example: I will improve my algebra grade by doing better on the tests.
SMART Goal Example: I will earn an 85% or better on my next algebra test, February 15.
When I was a freshman in college I learned a study technique in my psychology class that made studying for tests immeasurably easier. When the professor explained it, I thought it sounded absurd, not to mention ineffective. But the professor who recommended it used to give incredible lectures with no notes and was very well-respected for his brilliance and competence. Students were in continual awe of him, wondering how he remembered all of his lectures so well. I knew if he suggested a memory technique, it was worth a try. Boy, am I glad I tried it.
This phrase strikes terror in the heart of any teacher. It means she must sanitize, figure out if there is a way to get the offender some dry clothes, and keep the other kids from making fun. Okay, confession. While I have heard many phrases with the same implication as this one, I must admit that I've never heard this one. I uttered it. In first grade. You can blame my friend Valerie for repeatedly asking me to "wait for her" to finish what she was doing before accompanying me to the bathroom during recess. Why do girls like to go to the bathroom together, anyway? But I digress . . .
Either way you slice it, this is a bad phrase to hear as a teacher. If you were right and the mom was wrong, you don't want to correct the child and offend the mother. If you happened to be wrong about something, you must admit to your student that you were wrong and that's just downright embarrassing. It's happened to me both ways. Excuse me for forgetting when polio was eradicated, University Professor Mommy.
Caffeine. It's every teacher's best friend. In my case, it is also my nemesis. You see, while most teachers get their caffeine fix from their antioxidant-rich morning cup of coffee, I get mine from an afternoon pick-me-up of Coca-Cola. My name is Mrs. L. And I'm a coke-aholic.
You wanna know what's even worse? Like most addicts, I try to convince myself that I'm not really a Coke-aholic. I could stop if I wanted to. Didn't I quit for 9 months while I was pregnant? I tell myself. I even pretend like I don't have a problem by not keeping any Coke in the house. If it's not in the house, I won't drink it, right? Wrong. What do I do instead? I drive through a drive thru and pick some up.
A couple of months ago I was incredulous when I saw on the McDonald's menu that a small, medium, AND large Coke each cost the same amount: $1! What? I thought. How can this be? This doesn't make any sense. I ordered a medium. I paid $1 plus tax. The next day I ordered a large. I paid $1 plus tax. I was beside myself giddy-happy. Never mind the fact that I could pay less if I just stopped my neuroticism, bought some at the grocery store and brought it home. I thought I was getting the deal of the century. I'm lovin' it, I thought.
This love affair went on for several weeks. I became acquainted with the McDonald's staff. I knew which McDonald's was most likely to have the best ice-to-soda ratio. I knew which staff member did the best job of wiping any soda drippings off the side of the cup. I was a very chipper, caffeinated Mrs. L.
But then one day it happened. I gleefully drove up to the drive thru speaker.

Personal, Family Stories from the U.S.-Dakota of 1862 Captured in New Oral History Project
ST. PAUL, Minn., May 31--Even 150 years after the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862, stories of this disastrous time in Minnesota history live on in people throughout Minnesota, the Upper Midwest and Canada. Minnesota Historical Society staff members have recorded dozens of these oral histories from descendants of those touched by the war and they are now available for all to hear and read at http://www.usdakotawar.org/stories.
"Oral histories capture stories of families in their own words and they give us perspective unlike any other," said Deborah Locke, project manager. "These histories are personal and heartfelt and the interviewees are passionate about their families' place in the story of Minnesota."
Many cultures around the world use oral traditions to remember and relay history throughout generations. Minnesota Historical Society staff conducted interviews in homes throughout the Minnesota River Valley as well as in tribal community centers on Dakota reservations. Full transcripts and audio as well as selected quotes are available at http://www.usdakotawar.org/stories.
See below for participant names, where they live and interview excerpts. Oral histories from people in Canada and the Upper Midwest will be added throughout 2012. The public will also be invited to share their own personal and family stories related to the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862 on a "Share Your Story" component to be added to http://www.usdakotawar.org/stories in mid-June.
This year marks 150 years since the U.S.-Dakota War, fought in southwestern Minnesota in the late summer of 1862. The war lasted just six weeks, but its causes began decades earlier and the profound loss and consequences of the war are still felt today. The war ended with hundreds dead, the Dakota people exiled from their homeland and the largest mass execution in U.S. history: the hangings of 38 Dakota men in Mankato on Dec. 26, 1862.
Oral History Excerpts
Walter LaBatte of Granite Falls:
I learned oral history from my dad. Stories that his mom had told him about life then, about how there were Indian villages all the way up the Minnesota River Valley. That was before the war. She was four years old and was brought into Camp Release in that summer/fall of 1862. Her and her mother and brothers took a walk to Lower Sioux. That's where the trials were held. Coincidentally her future husband's cabin [log house store] was used as François LaBatte… If you know history you know that François LaBatte, the trials were held at his store. I'll tell you a story about that later. She told him about the horrors of that walk. It's pretty well told about some of the horrors. One of them was walking through this town and they threw hot water on them in December. She remembers that.
Robert Buessman of New Ulm:
The story goes that they were on a farm in Milford, in Milford Township and one of the friendly natives came and said: there's trouble, you gotta get out of here. So they started packing their stuff up and they headed off the farm yard, heading into New Ulm and from around the haystack, is the way the story goes that I was told, came a warrior in paint, and attacked with a tomahawk. My great-grandfather leveled his double-barrel, pulled both triggers, and nothing happened. He turned the weapon and used it as a club to defend himself. They took off, Great-Grandmother fell off the wagon, supposedly the wagon drove over her, they stopped long enough to throw her into the back of the wagon, and headed off to town. The story has it that Great-Grandfather helped defend the city.
Oral History Participants
Participants were chosen based on recommendations from local historical societies or tribal council members. In some cases, word of mouth led to an interest in the project and a desire to be interviewed. These are the participants whose oral histories have already been posted at http://www.usdakotawar.org/stories:

"The U.S.-Dakota War of 1862," an exhibit at the Minnesota History Center in St. Paul, opens June 30. Visit http://www.usdakotawar.org for a list of all initiatives, events and resources for commemorating and learning about the war.
Many projects and programs related to the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862 are made possible by the Legacy Amendment's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the vote of Minnesotans on November 4, 2008.
The Minnesota Historical Society is a non-profit educational and cultural institution established in 1849.The Society collects, preserves and tells the story of Minnesota's past through museum exhibits, libraries and collections, historic sites, educational programs and book publishing. Using the power of history to transform lives, the Society preserves our past, shares our state's stories and connects people with history.
The Minnesota Historical Society is supported in part by its Premier Partners: Xcel Energy and ExploreMinnesota Tourism.

Since 2012, record drought and record temperatures, have weakened trees throughout California, resulting in millions of acres of failing forestland that then become vulnerable to disease and infestation. Infestation, such as those caused by native bark beetles, have caused tree mortality of epidemic proportions.
The scale of tree mortality in California contributes to significantly increased wildfire risks, and presents life safety risks due to falling trees that can injure or kill people.
Due to these increased risks, California and Tulare County have proclaimed states of emergency for tree mortality.
On September 7, 2016 the USFS approved Tulare County's removal plan. The attached memo is a sign-off on permission for similar removals along an estimated 60 miles of county roads: Arterial Roads Decision Letter.
On October 6, 2015, the County of Tulare proclaimed a local emergency due to tree mortality, which increases threats to public health and safety, including fire, falling tree/debris, and air quality hazards, and requested that the Governor proclaim a State of Emergency and that the Governor request a Presidential Declaration of Emergency or Major Disaster.
On October 10, 2015, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. proclaimed a State of Emergency and sought federal action to help mobilize additional resources for the safe removal of dead and dying trees. This proclamation builds on Governor Brown's April, 2014 Executive Order to redouble the state's drought response, which includes provisions to expedite the removal of dead and dying hazardous trees. Governor Brown's proclamation also calls for state agencies to take several actions to enable removal of hazard trees.
The State's Tree Mortality Task Force is led by the Governor's Office, Cal Fire, and Cal OES, and is comprised of public and private partners listed HERE. For a comprehensive list of Working Group members for the State's Tree Mortality Task Force, please see its Incident Action Plan.
Both the State's and the County's Tree Mortality Task Forces are structured as a Multi-Agency Coordination (MAC) Group, and meets monthly to exchange information and updates amongst stakeholders. Participants are encouraged to discuss needs and concerns, and leverage each other's subject matter expertise and resources to further response efforts.
The State's Tree Mortality Task Force, Regulations Working Group, has released its final Guidelines for High Hazard Zone Tree Removal to assist in the implementation of Governor Brown's October 30, 2015 Emergency Proclamation for dead/dying tree removal in High Hazard Zones, as identified by CAL FIRE's Tree Mortality Viewer.
If dead or dying trees are located on private property adjacent to the County's right of way, but present an immediate threat to public health and safety (for instance, they threaten infrastructure because they are leaning over the right-of-way), the County may attempt to remove the trees - time and resources permitting. Before the County will remove any trees originating from private property, the County will request that property owners sign a "Right-of-Entry" agreement form, which contains insurance, indemnification and release provisions that meets Cal OES/ California Disaster Assistance Act requirements for reimbursable debris removal work.

The Cesar Chavez Student Center has a strong program of naming spaces and creating murals in honor of people and communities whose lives and struggles for equality have inspired students and staff for a long time and who became role models for generations.
Malcolm X was born in 1952 (May 19th) as Malcolm Little in Omaha, Nebraska. Malcolm's father, Earl, was a very outspoken Baptist minister and supporter of Marcus Garvey, the Black Nationalist leader.
In 1931, the dead body of Earl was found while lying across the trolley tracks. The Little family believed that Black Legion members, a white supremacy group, killed him. His father's murder began a series of painful events for Malcolm. His mother went insane, he and his brothers and sisters were separated among foster homes, and he dropped out of school.
Eventually, Malcolm made his way to Harlem, New York where he participated in narcotics, prostitution and gambling rings. At the age of 20, he was arrested for burglary. While in prison, he turned his life around and became interested in the teachings of the Nation of Islam, a militant Islamic sect for black people. Malcolm was paroled after seven years and joined the Nation of Islam where he was appointed minister and national spokesman.
He discarded his last name as a slave name, and became Malcolm X. The letter "X" also represented his true and unknown African name. After learning that the leader of the NOI, Elijah Muhammad practiced a personal life that counteracted his teachings, Malcolm separated from the group and founded the Muslim Mosque, Inc. and later the Organization of Afro-American Unity.
In 1964, he went on a pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia as a converted orthodox Muslim. Malcolm came back from the trip with new ideals and beliefs, including the desire to fight for the human rights of all mankind, not just African Americans. He later adapted the name El-Hajji Malik El-Shabazz. The surname Shabazz is an Asian Black Nation name, and was taken by his wife Betty and their six daughters.
Malcolm's life was constantly being threatened. On February 21, 1965, at the age of 39, Malcolm was assassinated while speaking in the Manhattan Audubon Ballroom. His wife and daughters witnessed the murder, which occurred on the first day of National Brotherhood Week. Three members of the NOI rushed the activist on stage and shot him fifteen times at close range.
His wife gave birth to their twin daughters later that year. Malcolm X was an advocate of black pride, economic self-reliance, human rights and identity politics. He was both a spiritual and political leader who fought for social change, justice and mental and physical freedom for all.
On March 31, 1927, Cesar Chavez was born to a farming family. At the age of 10, the family lost their farm during the Great Depression and was forced to become migrant laborers. His family later settled in San Jose. After attending over 30 schools, Chavez graduated from the eighth grade – only to devote his time to farming.
Chavez joined the U.S. Navy in 1944 and served in the western Pacific for two years. Once his service was completed he returned to California and married Helen Fabela.
As a married man, Chavez continued to work in the fields, but also fought for change. In 1952, he began working as an organizer for the Latino civil rights group, the Community Services Organization. During his time with the CSO, he recruited Mexican-Americans to register and vote, and traveled throughout California encouraging the rights of laborers. He became their national director in the late 1950's.
Four years later Chavez formed the United Farm Worker's Association, which he would later merge with the Filipino Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee. Together the two groups formed the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee, which evolved into the United Farm Workers of today.
In 1965, the UFWOC protested in the Delano grape strike for higher wages and better working conditions. The organization encouraged all Americans to boycott table grapes in support of the effort. The strike lasted five years and gained the support of Robert Kennedy, resulting in the first major labor victory for migrant workers.
Chavez drew inspiration from Jesus, Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. All of his protests were non-violent, such as his 1968 fast to call attention to the migrant workers' cause. In 1972, Chavez underwent a 24-day water-only fast, and in 1988, a 36-day fast. After completing the latter, Reverend Jesse Jackson took up where Chavez left off and fasted for three days before passing it on to celebrities and leaders. Martin Sheen, Emilio Estevez, Danny Glover, Carly Simon and Whoopi Goldberg were all involved.
Chavez's protests were peaceful yet powerful, such as the 1966 march from Delano to Sacramento and then through the Imperial and Coachella Valley to the border of Mexico in 1969, to protest growers' use of illegal aliens as strikebreakers. In 1993, the migrant farmer and Mexican leader died peacefully in his sleep in San Luis, Arizona where he had gone to testify against vegetable growers.
Chavez was one of the definitive labor activists of the 20th century and a leading voice for farmworkers. His leadership focused national attention on laborers' terrible working conditions and lead to improvements. President Clinton awarded the Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor to Chavez's widow in 1994.
March 31 is now considered Cesar Chavez Day in California and Texas, and is an optional holiday in Arizona and Colorado. It is the first holiday in the history of the country that commemorates a Mexican American.
Rosa Parks is most famous for her resistance to move to the back of the bus, but perhaps the greatest misconception about the fiery woman is that she did so because she was tired. Although the 42-year-old had just finished a day of work, she was no more physically tired than normal, rather she was tired of the way African Americans were being treated.
On December first, 1955, Parks refused to move to the back of the bus for a white person. Believing that she had just as much right to sit where she pleased, she began a historical fight for equality.
Parks was arrested and found guilty of disorderly conduct and violating a local ordinance. She appealed the court's ruling and challenged the legality of racial segregation. Others joined her in an effort that became about much more than a bus seat.
Four days after being told to relinquish her seat, she and others began the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The boycott asked all black people to refuse Montgomery's bus system.
The community obliged and instead carpooled, walked or took cabs (driven by black drivers who charged the same fare as a bus ride, 10 cents). The boycott lasted for 382 days and severely damaged the bus company. The Supreme Court finally deemed the transportation segregation law unconstitutional in November 1956.
The Montgomery bus boycott was one of the largest and most successful mass movements against racial segregation in history. Violence ensued following the boycott and many black churches were destroyed and Martin Luther King's house burned. Parks' efforts and the boycott catapulted King to the head of the Civil Rights movement. She had an effect on people both locally and internationally. The boycott even inspired a similar event in South Africa.
Not only did Parks start one of the most important movements in history, she was also heavily involved with her community and the African-American plight. She served as secretary of the NAACP, advisor to the NAACP youth council, tried to register to vote several times before it was legal, and was a member of the Board of Advocates of Planned Parenthood.
Parks worked as a seamstress until 1965 when U.S. Representative John Conyers hired her as secretary for his congressional office in Detroit. In 1987, she co-founded the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development in honor of her husband who died of cancer in 1977. She died at the age of 92 on October 24, 2005.
She had been diagnosed with progressive dementia the year before. Parks was an icon of the Civil Rights Movement and was awarded numerous awards throughout her lifetime including the NAACP's highest honor – the Spingarn Medal, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Congressional Gold Medal
Rigoberta Menchu
Rigoberta Menchu was raised in the Quiche branch of the Mayan culture in Guatemala amidst civil war. At a young age, she became involved in social reform activities through the Catholic Church and became a prominent figure in the women's rights movement. She grew up in a peasant family in a village that was often visited by Marxist guerrillas and attacked by the Guatemalan army.
During the disruptive time in her town, Menchu lost her parents, two brothers, a sister-in-law and three nieces and nephews. Rigoberta became involved with the Committee of the Peasant Union in 1979 after her family had been targeted as being a part of guerilla activities. She remained politically active while teaching herself Spanish and other Mayan languages.
In 1980 she participated in a strike for better working conditions for Pacific Coast farm workers and was regularly active in large demonstrations. She later joined the radical 31st of January Popular Front, where she educated peasants in resistance to massive military oppression. After fleeing to Mexico, Rigoberta became an organizer of resistance to oppression in the struggle for Indian peasant people's rights.
In 1986 she co-authored an autobiography entitled, "I, Rigoberta Menchu." The book received high praise and became required reading for many higher education schools. Menchu was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1992 for her activism and human rights work. She remains an advocate of Indian rights and ethnocultural reconciliation. Her work has earned her several national awards.

To properly dispose of sharps at home isn't as simple as one might think. You can't just toss them into the trash or recycling bin. And no, not even if they're inside a flimsy plastic bottle.
The danger in disposing of sharps as any other item of trash poses a potential harm to not only your local waste handlers, but also to children, pets, and others that might come in contact. In fact, some states actually ban the disposal of syringes and needles in this way.
Never dispose of needles, syringes, or other sharps straight into the household trash. This can cause a world of harmful possibilities.
Instead, dispose of sharps in an FDA approved sharps container. For information on what passes FDA guidelines, visit this article on FDA-Cleared Sharps Containers.
Similarly to the point made above, don't throw away sharps containers in the recycling bin. This cause several issues, as your recyclables must be sorted through and any sharps containers could potentially put waste handlers at risk, as well as making the entire collection of recycled materials unusable.
As mentioned before, some states (and local governments) make it illegal to dispose of sharps in the common household trash, even if in proper FDA-cleared sharps containers.
Drop boxes or supervised collection sites. Drop off your sharps disposal containers at collections sites, including doctors' offices, hospitals, pharmacies, health departments, medical waste facilities, and police or fire stations.
Mail-back programs. You may be able to mail a FDA-cleared disposal container to a collection site. Consult the manufacture's instructions included with the sharps containers, as they might offer the mail-back option or have specific requirements.
Sometimes you run out of containers. It's understandable. But under no circumstances should you dispose of needles in weak packaging, such as water bottles or empty cereal boxes.


CHICAGO, April 4 (UPI) -- Troubled Hollywood actor Charlie Sheen admits his touring one-man stage show is a work-in-progress.
Sheen was heckled and booed when his show "My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat Is Not an Option" debuted Saturday night in Detroit. But by the next night in Chicago, he reportedly received a standing ovation.
E! News reported Sheen's premiere performance was disorganized and mainly comprised of the actor's now-famous rants, while his second-night performance was more structured and showed Sheen answering an interviewer's questions, then chatting about his life as a celebrity.
Sheen said he decided to retool his act after seeing it didn't work in Detroit the way it was.
"Yeah, we talked about it on the bus coming back, tons of input, then when I got back to the hotel and I wrote, we started writing, just to get some thoughts out, some feelings out, just some stuff that would be interesting," Sheen told E! News. "I was up till about 5, 6:30 [in the morning,] kept working on it, came here at 8:30, sat on the stage, looked out, came up with just the chair idea and we started talking about it... the interview thing. And then I went back and took a 2-hour nap and came here and did it. Yeah, so there was a moment on the bus when it was like, 'We can just keep going, we can drive home.' I'm like: 'Yeah, that's what losers do, man. (Expletive) it, you know?' Maybe I just, you know, needed a bigger challenge."
Sheen's once-bright career has been eclipsed in recent months by his battle with substance abuse and related erratic behavior. After being fired from TV's "Two and a Half Men," he went on a media blitz, slamming his employers and making outrageous claims, then announced plans for a touring stage show.


For junior Tricia Duke, every meal in the Hard Knox Cafe earlier this term was like a leap of faith.
"It's kinda this big game of chance. I don't know for sure what exact drop of oil, what exact piece of powdered milk is going to make its way from one side of the kitchen to another," she said.
Duke has a severe dairy allergy. It is not life-threatening, but symptoms range from fatigue and congestion to vomiting and back pain.
"The [allergic] reactions that are really problematic are those that are like six-hour disturbances in my life," she said.
Duke was hopeful that more open space in the cafeteria would limit potential cross-contamination, but it quickly became clear that was not the case.
"I was starting to have reactions that would make me like throw up or have disturbances every two weeks or so, which wasn't working for me anymore," she said.
Duke identified potential hazards in the cafeteria, such as cross-contamination on the grill and other students' general lack of tidiness, but overall emphasized that cross-contamination was not a fault of the Dining Services.
Duke saw the problem of cross-contamination as unavoidable in environments such as cafeterias, which is why she sought out a change in her meal plan. However, figuring out a plan for severe allergies is a difficult feat.
Director of Disability Support Services Stephanie Grimes has worked with students to find to try to find that ideal option by working with Dining Services.
Associate Dean of Students for Residential Learning Craig Southern is also working to find a solution with Dining Services. According to him, the college wants to accommodate those affected by food allergies as best as they can.
Southern said that students with food allergies can petition to go off-board by meeting with his and Grimes' offices.
However, going off-board is not always an appealing alternative, according to Duke.
"I didn't want to be completely off board, but I also couldn't stay on-board," she said.
Grimes described one campus alternative, which provided a house for students with allergies, that worked in the past.
Duke eventually switched to a commuter plan, despite being an on-campus student.
Grimes mentioned that the school is evolving its approach to students with allergies because more students are requesting accomodations.
Grimes stated that part of that change would mean reaching out and working with students with milder allergies who still need accommodations.
Duke was ultimately pleased with how the administration was able to meet her needs.

Q: Simple regex match works on rubular but not in IRB Given the string:
"hello %{one} there %{two} world"

This code does not work:
s = "hello %{one} there %{two} world"
r = Regexp.new(/(%{.*?})+/)
m = r.match(s)
m[0] # => "%{one}"
m[1] # => "%{one}"
m[2] # => nil  # I expected "%{two}"

But on Rubular, the same regex (%{.*?}) works and returns %{one} and %{two}.
What am I doing wrong?

A: Use String#scan method:
'hello %{one} there %{two} world'.scan(/(%{.*?})/)
# => [["%{one}"], ["%{two}"]]

With non-capturing group:
'hello %{one} there %{two} world'.scan(/(?:%{.*?})/)
# => ["%{one}", "%{two}"]

UPDATE Actually, no grouping is needed.
'hello %{one} there %{two} world'.scan(/%{.*?}/)
# => ["%{one}", "%{two}"]

A: 'hello %{one} there %{two} world'.scan /%{[^}]*}/
#=> ["%{one}", "%{two}"]

A: This is for future reference as this is the first question that pops up on Google.
I just hit this problem that my tests worked on Rubular but when I run my code they didn't work.
I was testing something like /^<regex-goes-here>$/
Turns out the lines I was testing against the regex ended in carriage returns \n\r but I wasnt copy them to Rubular so, of course they wouldn't match.
Hope this helps.


Yesterday was Mother's Day and it was a wonderful day with my family. I realized how truly blessed I am with people who love and care about me. Thankful for my 3 children and for my husband who has been on this journey with me. I received some wonderful gifts that I will cherish. I look forward to showing my appreciation for Brian on Father's day.

Key Constitutional Issues Relevant to the Canadian Northern Corridor
The Canadian Northern Corridor would be a network of access connecting north and south, and three oceans. The corridor is an attempt to overcome the challenge of complex regulatory approvals and decisions makers for each project – do them all at once. However, the corridor would face its own jurisdictional issues. So, is the Canadian Constitution the solution to these? It provides a structure for multi-jurisdictional projects that could facilitate the development of the Corridor – but the Constitution also ensures that issues of Aboriginal jurisdiction must also be reckoned with.
Join legal expert Dwight Newman for a discussion on how the Canadian Constitution could facilitate the Canadian Northern Corridor, bearing in mind the obligations it presents.
Presenter: Dwight Newman QC, DPhil, Professor of Law & Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Rights in Constitutional and International Law, University of Saskatchewan
Moderator: Marcia Nelson, Board Member, Alberta Blue Cross, and Executive Fellow, The School of Public Policy and Haskayne School of Business, University of Calgary
Implications of an Infrastructure Corridor for Alberta's Economy
The benefits of increased pipeline access for Alberta's economy are well known. The benefits of infrastructure corridors, however, go far beyond pipelines. By reducing interprovincial and international trade costs, multimodal infrastructure corridors of road, rail, utilities, and communications can potentially create large economic benefits.
Join Drs Trevor Tombe, Kent Fellows and Alaz Munzur for a panel discussion on the contribution a multimodal corridor could make to Alberta's economy.

Canadian Arctic Marine Transportation: Issues, Opportunities and Challenges
Shipping in the Canadian arctic is mainly driven by fishing, mining activities and community resupply. Combined with the accelerating pace of ice melt, navigation season has lengthened and we are seeing a trend toward increased traffic in Canadian arctic waters.
Join Dr. Frédéric Lasserre for a discussion of some of the trends shaping the shipping industry in Canada's arctic, and what these changes might mean for the construction of a Canadian Northern Corridor. To what extent could expanded shipping in the Canadian arctic be supported by a corridor, and what are some of the economic trends from a commercial perspective? Given the remote and extreme conditions, what are some of the most realistic scenarios for economic, industrial and other drivers for northern marine development in Canada?
