And yet the highest voted comment is a recommendation that a 15 year old gets high...

But that's how all laws and regulations work to some extent. Someone does something that is deemed "bad" to society and it is outlawed thereby preventing other people who are not guilty from doing it. I'm sure there are some people on the roads who can do well in excess of the speed limits safely because they have the skill to do so, but are they being penalized because other people don't have those same skills? Sometimes you have to abide by society's laws even though you think you are capable of doing that which is outlawed because other people have shown that many can't be trusted to do the same.

In this case, there are crazy people out there who would like to blow up planes and who I doubt would have a big problem with strapping a bomb to a child. I don't think screening a 6 year old is out of line. How we do it is obviously up for debate, but I don't think the action is that questionable.

As someone who works in the public sector, I envy such a resolve, but are you willing to sacrifice your career to not fall in line with the 'establishment'? And if you are, what does that say about you in the long term? Do you consider public office a 'one and done' kind of field or something you're willing to try and work to change rather than just milking it for a couple years?

The funny episodes were always my favorites. The mythos episodes with the Smoking Man and everyone were interesting, but they didn't have the massive replay value of something like Bad Blood or the Christmas episode.

What is your opinion of the recent "controversial" remarks Bernard Pollard said? Do you think the NFL will exist in 30 years or do you think people will become bored with it? Also, do you think the NFL is going in the right direction by focusing more on player safety, perhaps at the detriment of the hard-hitting action viewers have come to love or would they be better served taking a more hands off approach and just making sure the players fully understand the consequences and risks of taking the field?
