    Beloved Comic Books--The Uncanny X-Men

    Just realized all my "Eighties high points" were Marvel except for the independents, Marvel really had the better characterization at the time. X-Men talked about racism, Tony Stark was a drunk, the Avengers brought in Tigra... ;) I'm not necessarily in favor of the "dark" trend that hit...

    Beloved Comic Books--The Uncanny X-Men

    Doran, Ragman (thought I was the only one who knew him, I had the whole initial run) is part of DC's Gotham continuity now, played a part in Battle for the Cowl concerning the death of Batman. I grew up in the '80s and hit all the high points. X-Men, Avengers, Secret Wars, Punisher... all...

    Psychology isn't, to my mind, an exact science. For all its failings I'd rather the jury make that call for sentencing than a judge, as long as that sentence isn't irrevocable. Prison or a looney bin, the convicted party is kept from society without the risk of killing an innocent. Not...

    Can't argue wth that. Likewise, I have problem with capital punishment on practical grounds, regardless of the particular circumstances of the defendent. I like to think it reflects consistency in my moral views rather than despair over the weaknesses of the justice system. :o The...

    For fun or research? I'm trying to get done with finals so I can dig into some of briefs on cases currently before the Supremes. About halfway through the Amici for McDonald, but I make time for those. My g-d, did I just write that? Could someone send me a life if you have a spare lying...

    Show Us Your OVERCOATS

    Dinerman, Don't take this the wrong way (read patronizing), but it's been interesting watching you, grow-up doesn't seem the right word, age/mature on the forum. Gone from a "kid" (again wrong word) in the early pictures to a good-looking young man. Hair's much better now too. :D Crap...

    My apologies, that came off (hell, was) arrogant and pedantic. :o I'm a big natural rights guy and make too much of the philosophic distinction between those and statutory rights; and further I see statutory rights less as rights per se than as the mechanics by which natural rights are...

    The US Constitution doesn't "contain" any fundamental rights, it merely enumerates (and/or provides a procedure for the exercise of) some of them. Still, there's no right to "hope" either way.

    Show us your Guns!

    Most production AR platform guns are <2 moa out of the box. It will hit what you aim at well further than that, consider that the Marine rifle qual involves 600 yd prone shooting with iron sights and that's done in boot camp with horribly beat-up rifles. You'll want ear protection, it's a...

    And I love bits of verbiage like "or other infamous crime". Not too many other fields still use 18th Century language to such good effect.

    Good idea in theory but it hasn't worked out real well for them crime wise in reality. It isn't long for this world in any event. Still, in its passing it may help increase Constitutional freedoms for the rest of us as well. Exciting times in jurisprudence.

    Amendment 5 of the BofR in fact. Amendment V No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war...

    The Spanish Civil War

    Anarchists didn't coin the word, they adopted it from the same source modern Libertarians did. You can't hijack the concept of "free will", the original meaning, and a group of individuals who self-identify as holding the 18th century Enlightenment ideals of classical liberalism (life...
