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.

Concealed Carry In Madison

Out in Madison, Wisconsin, Law Professor Ann Althouse, discussed an article in The Cape Times about an interview with the Madison Chief of Police, Noble Wray, over the requirements for obtaining a permit for Concealed Carry, which, at one point included a four hour class:
What exactly do you do for 4 hours?  It seems as though the point of making it 4 hours was to deter people from exercising their rights.  That is, it wasn't really to serve the state's legitimate interest in safety, but for the purpose or effect of placing a substantial obstacle in the path of the citizen who chooses to carry a gun.  (Do you recognize the italicized words?  Google them if you don't, especially if you enjoy irony, the exposure of hypocrisy, and fun stuff like that.)
Professor Althouse brings up the issue of protecting your rights while not protecting mine.  How can we prioritize amongst the items in the Bill of Rights?

The debate is...at best...becoming tedious.
