We have our reasons. Sometimes unions get out of hand, and they are very prone to corruption.

You can't vacuum a fucking floor in New York without a union getting their greedy hands in on it. End result? It takes forever to get anything done, and it costs 4x as much to get anything done.

What? Really? What a blatant violation of our rights....

Guess I need to add email to the list of things my VPSes do....

I think it has less to do with guns and more to do with just having more violent crime in general (about 4 times more violent crime than Australia). I have an LTC and interact with police officers often. My gun has never been a point of concern or contention. A large percentage of police officers killed every year get shot with their own firearm anyways. Context matters, and in most contexts in America, a gun means absolutely nothing. At least not for the police officers around here. We have more guns than people after all.

In addition to that, being a police officer in the states sucks. I was going to do it, until I realized that the only people that make a decent living wage are those who have been a police officer for 20+ years and get a job as a supervisor. When you pay bottom of the barrel salaries, you get bottom of the barrel talent. Who knew!

Yes there is, but it isn't for the layman.

I don't see any reason why TOR wouldn't work with GMail. In fact, to the application using the TOR proxy, it is all pretty transparent.

I was working on a router getup for a client no long ago that would transparently route all HTTP/HTTPS traffic through a TOR proxy. It did "Work" but TOR needs more exit nodes. (Really, it just needs more people participating in general). The latency was OK most of the time, but there was about 45ms of jitter (way to much for VOIP phones and video chatting, probably enough for all other forms of communication) and 3-5% packet loss.
