The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

Review of Police Actions re Dragnet For Dzhokhar Tsarnaev


For John, BLUFWhat Fourth Amendment?  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Over at the Althouse Blog there is a post that consists of quotes from an item from former US Representative Ron Paul, regarding the police search for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, following the Boston Marathon Bombing.  The location on the web is the Lew Rockwell Blog.  Mr Rockwell is a libertarian and founder of the Ludwig von Mises Institute.

But, back to the item from Mr Ron Paul, here are the quotes pulled by Professor Althouse:

Sadly, we have been conditioned to believe that the job of the government is to keep us safe...
... but in reality the job of the government is to protect our liberties. Once the government decides that its role is to keep us safe, whether economically or physically, they can only do so by taking away our liberties. That is what happened in Boston.

Three people were killed in Boston and that is tragic. But what of the fact that over 40 persons are killed in the United States each day, and sometimes ten persons can be killed in one city on any given weekend? These cities are not locked-down by paramilitary police riding in tanks and pointing automatic weapons at innocent citizens.
