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.

Rush Muffs Third Amendment


For John, BLUFThe Third Amendment is about the Government not forcing troops on homeowners.

Early in today's show, Talker Rush Limbaugh attempted to draw a connection between the Second Amendment and the Third Amendment.  Mr Limbaugh said that the Amendment was about denying the right of homeowners to quarter troops.  That wouldn't work out very well, since it would mean that parents couldn't welcome home their sons and daughters currently in the Service at Christmas.  And, prevent owners of properties from renting to young military families around bases.

I think it is a bit of a stretch to think that the Third Amendment reinforces the Second Amendment, except in the sense that the home is a special and secure place by natural right and the Constitution forbids the Government from trespassing on that natural right.  The same with ownership of firearms.

  "No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law."
  Including tenants—Engblom v Carey.
