Seriously, how much more INSTANT does google need to get? Am I that dependent on google's amazing search system that I need them to find the "search" button and push it for me before I can do it myself?

Dirty cops
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20110608/us_nm/us_newyork_nypdsentence
There's something interesting when hearing about dirty cops. It's not the fact that it simply deals with a crime, but more importantly a question of infrastructure. Police serve a function for the public that is in a position of unique authority: the ability to personally limit one's liberty when necessary. Such authority is kept in check by protocol and such, but it's really the acceptance by society that the job deserves our faith. Unfortunately, taking advantage of this good faith is what allows an abuse of power.

The right to be a bad parent
Let's face it, there are lots of bad parents. I work in an elementary school and the fact smacks me in the face every day. Not everybody should be a mother or a father and the world would probably be a better place if some genes don't procreate. But it's a fundamental right... right?
