Not a bad list, but I object to "It." Not only was the adaptation rather sucky and cheesy, but the novel itself included a gang-bang among prepubescent children, which is quite beyond sick.
An assistant philosophy professor at Rochester Institute of Technology wants to send people who disagree with him about global warming to jail.
The professor is Lawrence Torcello. Last week, he published a 900-word-plus essay at an academic website called The Conversation.
His main complaint is his belief that certain nefarious, unidentified individuals have organized a “campaign funding misinformation.” Such a campaign, he argues, “ought to be considered criminally negligent.”
He's a fucking philosophy professor!! What even qualifies him to have anything more than a layman's opinion? Let alone the demand for jail time for true dissenting scientific opinions?

I don't care if the guy's a layman or the world's leading expert in climate science. He's demonstrated that he's no more than a thug.

Regardless of the rightness or wrongness of man-made climate change, the idea of criminalizing those who hold the opposite view is an inability to handle dissent to the nth degree. Old RPM is right. He's a thug.
Bible Spice (aka Sarah Palin) is apparently going to host some low-brow entertainment show on the Sportsman Channel.
After watching the video, I recall seeing an episode of Honey Boo Boo and wondering how much more low class television can get.
I just found my answer.
Oh, well, if nothing else, it will put the final nail in the coffin of any political ambitions she ever had, if she hadn't done so already.

Still not admitting they did something wrong:
"We did something right the wrong way."
A fine, but no jail time, for former Boy Scout leaders who damaged ancient rock formations. And then were dumb enough to post their video online:
Destroying rock formation in Goblin Valley.
Great Scout Leaders, no?

Register possessions, and you will lose that which you registered. And maybe face prosecution.
Firearms in Connecticut? California?
