I've heard about departments doing this for a long time. As far as I know, Detectives work their way up through from the street, right? So they would have the same limits? So all the police procedurals on TV featuring super-genius defectives are pure fantasy...

Happy Birthday Hoover!

Personally, I far prefer this to the way it was for a while before (where I was always signed out even though I checked 'remember' so I had to manually sign in whenever I wanted to post or read from where I'd left off. I'm also on Firefox in Win7, btw. Does the site know who you are in a 'private window'?

It just touches his belt buckle, I thought that was the goal?

You gotta hand it to blind prostitutes.

My main concern would be susceptibility to blackmail, and this ass-clown seems to be past that, at least. The only other real concern I can think of is any hypocritical enforcement of relevant laws and/or using his position to not get busted. So I can think of no reason to automatically blanket bar somebody for such things, especially since his opponent may well have things he's managed to keep secret which gives him vulnerabilities a guy like this doesn't have at all any more. AND another positive, in America's political system at least it might make the candidate unattractive to big business donors. So either they're more responsive to average constituents or (sadly, more likely, now that I think about it) more obedient to whoever does give them money...

Ender's game is inherently about a different young boy who gets mercilessly bullied and manages to overcome and triumph. That Mr. Card wrote such an amazing book which spoke to so many of us then took the profit and notoriety to tell a significant amount of his fan base "No, you're nothing, you are an abomination who doesn't deserve to be, and since I can't do anything about that, at least I can help establish laws making you a second class citizen which you'll have to deal with for 20 years..." Now that we've gotten through that 20 years of hell in many places, he still hasn't apologized, and now says, "I don't understand why you can't just let the work speak for itself and give me more money? I'm kinda pour because I spent a lot of money and time on things like the National Organization for Marriage. Sheesh, why do people hate me???" Fuck that guy!
