Or possible jail or fines when you pick up an eagle feather and put it in your hat, but not have your ID checked to see if you are a legal resident of this country. Or get kicked out of school for wearing an NRA T-shirt, but not for having so many multiple piercings that the other kids can't concentrate. if you can go to jail and get fined for disturbing an eagle egg, but get government funding to get an abortion..... It's so easy to come up with examples because there are so damn many of them.

They allow an abortion due to theory they're not yet a human, so, will they let you destroy an eagle's egg on the theory they're not yet an eagle?

Is the FBI incompetent? Yes, I think they have firmly establish that fact this week: They arrested this guy based upon his initials? All charges dropped against ricin suspect, search continues An FBI intelligence bulletin obtained by the AP said the two ricin-laced letters addressed to Obama and Wicker said: "To see a wrong and not expose it, is to become a silent partner to its continuance." Both were signed, "I am KC and I approve this message." After charges were dropped against Paul Kevin Curtis, he said: "I'm a little shocked." Tuesday's events began when the third day of a preliminary and detention hearing for Curtis was canceled without officials explaining the change. Within two hours, Curtis had been released, though it wasn't clear why at first. FBI Agent Brandon Grant said in court Monday that searches last week of Curtis' vehicle and house in Corinth found no ricin, ingredients for the poison, or devices used to make it. A search of Curtis' computers found no evidence he researched making ricin. Authorities produced no other physical evidence at the hearings tying Curtis to the letters. All the envelopes and stamps were self-adhesive, Grant said Monday, meaning they won't yield DNA evidence. One fingerprint was found on the letter sent to a Lee County judge, but the FBI doesn't know who it belongs to, Grant said.

My daughter had her iPhone stolen at school on Tuesday. Only two days and she's going through phone withdrawal. But, I've never met a problem that can't be solved. My phone was eligible for an upgrade (hers not until Nov.) Solution? I just upgraded to a 32 gig iPhone 5, wiped my old iPhone 4 and she gets that phone. She also gets to pay 2/3 of the cost of the $299 cost of my new phone (I'll pick up $100 of it since that is the extra increment to go from 16 gig to 32 gig. Problem solved!
