Proposition H is no Preparation H for gun crime--there will be no relief.

I'd say Proposition H feels good-on the whole.

The last thing we need is a government monopoly on internet access. I'm sure they'd write in "non-compete" clauses at some point, and the internet would stop advancing then and there.

Keep the UN, and every other level of government AWAY from the internet.

If this ban on handguns passes in S.F. and the police do not get to an emergency in time will the victim/victim's family be able to sue Newsome for not protecting them/disarming them?AWB

No. Already decided and "stare decisis" applies...

"stare decisis"

This is the argument that liberal judicial activists and their legislative counterparts use to defend laws that are clearly unconstitutional, including the so-called "pro-choice" right to (therapeutic)abortion-on-demand.

The term "co-conspirators" could apply to these liberals, except that they do it in the open with much clever Orwellian double-think. How amusing it is, too, that liberals can refer to conservative judges as "judicial activists"!

Well, if Supreme Court justices are busy striking down those acts of Congress, the President and lower courts that exceed the Constitutional limits on their authority, then I suppose conservative judges may be seen as "activist" in that light! Or would restorers of balance be more accurate?

[Believe it or not, there is a group called Libertarians for Life (www.L4L.org)].

The actual meaning of the term legally is "let the decision stand", although I do not disagree with your opinion as to factuality. What my point was, is that given the judicial climate of today, there is no possible way Newsome would be held legally accountable for the results of his "utopia"...

Dane fights for state-funded sex


A disabled Danish man is fighting for the state to pay for him to have a prostitute visit him at home.

Torben Hansen, who has cerebral palsy, which severely affects his speech and mobility, believes his local authority should pay the extra charge he incurs when he hires a sex worker - because his disability means he cannot go to see them. His case is currently being considered.

In Denmark, local authorities compensate disabled people for extra costs incurred because of their disability.

"I want them to cover the extra expenses for the prostitutes to get here, because it's a lot more expensive getting them to come to my home rather than me going to a brothel," Mr Hansen told BBC World Service's Outlook programme.

"It's a necessity for me. I can't move very well, and it's impossible for me to go there."

Unbelievable! People lacking moral character arrive at asinine ways to spend other people's money in their quest for "my rights".
