@ABWorsham:

Will any of you miss complaining about the BCS system? I’m a hard core playoff fan, I would like to see at least eight teams playoff. But I will miss the discussions that the BCS brought. :-o

I was against the BCS and I’m against a playoff. If you want playoffs watch the NFL. The BCS did what it was supposed to do very well create a way for number one to play number two within the bowl system. The biggest problem with it is the human voters were allowed to game the system and at least crown a somewhat less mythical national champion than what came before which was entirely a vote.

This selection committee is going to be way worse than the human polls. Hopefully the Sooners and 'Noles will have taken a bit of sheen off the SEC but I don’t see any season where a one loss SEC team that couldn’t win the conference gets in over one loss conference champions from other conferences.

We haven’t eliminated the arguments. Just created new ones.

Immunity for Telecoms or National Security?

Actually, the telecoms never broke the law. They may freely give the Government, or anyone else, any information about you they want. The Privacy Act does not apply. In fact, as long as they can claim they did not profit from the information they gave the FBI/Homeland Security, they are completely immune.

I reference the case where consumers attempted to sue Jet Blue for giving away their information (including Social Security numbers, addresses, telephone numbers, demographics like number of children, race, etc) to the FBI. The judge ruled that yes, Jet Blue did give away personal information without permission, however, there was no law forbidding Jet Blue from freely giving away that information. And, since the Federal Government did not take that information by force (they politely asked for it) they did NOT need a warrant to get the information.

So giving the Telecoms protection for giving away information for free (the same info they probably sell to private companies and individuals btw) is just stopping frivolous lawsuits and stop the waste of federal money through wasted time and expense for a case that cannot be won, due to precedent being set with the Jet Blue Case.

Remember, the Privacy Act does not apply to everything. Only very specific industries in very specific circumstances with very specific information. Everything else can be handed out like candy. Furthermore, no where in the Constitution does it state that citizens have a right to privacy. It’s implied, but not enforced nor expressly written. You have a right to protection against illegal search and seizure, but you were not illegally searched, you gave the telecoms this information freely, and it was not seized, the telecoms gave it away.

I get mixed answers when I ask that question, most to the left will concede that a man should have that choice. But there are some that are fanatical that think that it is all the womans say (I DESPISE when someone says “when a man can get preg. than he can have a say”). Somehow a man not wanting to become a parent is not relavent. Most to the right think a man should have a say, (even if they are pro life, they would like to have some say… even if they will never use it). But there are those who think that this (and it probably would) lead to more abortions. Also consider that if this was made law, the scenerio of a woman getting preg to try to hold onto a man in a relationship that is dead would not happen nearly as much. Just about all “relationships” that come about because of pressure of an unwanted baby end very badly.

I believe that abortion in the first month is ok. That is before the child has brain waves. That is when I think it is human (yes, all animals have brain waves and are not human, but using that standard than you could “abort” after the baby is born because it is no more inteligent than a chimp). If a woman wants one than I don’t think anyone has the right to stop her.

You may think a month is not enough time to decide to have one, or even to know if you are preg. To that I say first… tough, you need to make a decision quickly - a human life is at stake. And about not knowing, if you are gonig to take on the resp. to have sex than you should you should have to take on the resp of knowing if you are preg. You miss a period, test yourself and decide.

I am pro life, but I am not insane with it. My sister died because she gave birth. She didn’t know it would kill her. And I fully support a woman who wants to abort if her life/health is at stake no matter how far along the preg. is.

If the morning after pill works, and is SAFE… it should be made legal IMO. I think that pill would solve a lot of the problems.
