"I guess you could call him a stool pigeon," owner Dennis Baker told the Dallas Morning News. It was the fifth time the home, which is also used as a locksmith shop, was burglarized this month. So when Baker woke to the sounds of Salvador, his Mexican Red-headed parrot, saying "hello, hello" he knew something was wrong. Baker grabbed his gun and shot the burglar in his garage. The man died at hospital, poli…

It was hailed as a breakthrough in the democratisation of knowledge. But the online encyclopedia has since been hijacked by forces who decided that certain things were best left unknown. The secret of Wikipedia's phenomenal success is that anyone can edit the millions of comments, facts and statistics published on the pages of the world's most popular online encyclopaedia. But that of course is also its greatest weakness. The chance to rewrite history in flattering and uncritical terms has proved too much of a temptation for scores of multinational companies, political parties and well-known organisations across the world. If a misdemeanour from a politician's colou…

Ok, ok, before those authoritarian types out there begin getting their bits all wet about something new to ban... lets figure this one out.

By James Vicini WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A passenger in a car pulled over for a traffic violation can challenge the stop for violating the constitutional protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously on Monday. The justices held that the California Supreme Court was wrong in ruling that any constitutional violations when a police officer illegally stops a vehicle may be challenged only by the driver. The high court's opinion written by Justice David Souter said the passenger in such cases can be considered "seized," basically unable to leave the scene when the police make the traffic stop, and can also challenge the st…

Court rules E-Mail Search Without Warrant Violates Fourth Amendment Monday, June 18, 2007 CINCINNATI — Federal investigators overstepped constitutional bounds by searching stored e-mails without a warrant in a fraud investigation, a federal appeals court ruled Monday.

This week is dedicated to those who suffer from Autism or ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder) so please donate if you see a collection. MJ is one drug that can help adult sufferers with anxiety associated with ASD's, most of you probably know or are related to somebody that has an ASD. 1 in every 160 Australians are now born with an ASD (as my son has just been diagnosed with moderate Autism), which is massive odds, it's increased 10 fold in the last decade and has gone 'under the radar' so to speak. So keep it in mind this week guys and please donate if you can!
