My dad is an ex 74/5/6 driver. Best answer.

"I understand this is your first time flying. Well, I want you to know that you aren't alone and both of us will get through this together...."

/for some reason, dad flew a lot of cargo...

Let’s just follow this a bit further.

  1. It’s already illegal to straw buy (purchase) a gun for someone who cannot purchase one themselves.
  2. Where do the rights of the people in those bordering states come into play?
  3. Do you think the stigmatization of mental illness plays any factor into these tragedies?

Edit: 3. wasn't formatted right.

Fantastic news and I hope more scientists take this approach!

Question: how are you planning to handle the 49,000,000 armchair particle physicists (who last week were 49,000,000 armchair lawyers) and do you see these questions as an opportunity to engage people into the physics world?

Swans are some pretty mean fuckers. You may want to try the alternate version. Sloth Lake.

Does the ideal of "racial justice" surpass normal "justice"? I know there are plenty of racists in the US (mostly clueless ones), but does tightroping the double jeopardy line on someone who doesn't have a racist history (in this case Zimmerman) really mean that the feds "make sure that the police and prosecutors handled the case, investigation and prosecution correctly"?

And doesn't the political pressure being put on the Justice Department make it more likely that Zimmerman wouldn't get a fair review by the DoJ? This seems like something the ACLU should be all over....
