[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] [QUOTE]And I believe that the power to shoot down a civilian jet lies with the Military, and not the President.[/QUOTE] Words "Commander in Chief" ring a bell? The President is always the highest-ranking person in the military. That's why the Joint Chiefs report to him, and why you'd need his authority to launch a nuclear strike. And shooting down a civilian airliner is such a drastic action for the military to take, you'd better believe they'd do it on his authority. [QUOTE]Lieutenant-Governor (some strange position I really can't define). [/QUOTE] Essentialy the same relationship to Governor as Vice-President is to President. [QUOTE]You need to have a permit to burn trees in your yard. After all, like you said, provided that it doesn't affect anyone else down the road (and a fire could grow into a bigger one if conditions are ripe for it). You also need a permit to make an addition to your house as you need to secure the necessary water and electrical connections for this addition (unless you're building a shed-like thingy). [/QUOTE] I don't need a permit to burn weeds and such, or garbage, or anything else that's far more likely to burn than trees. You must live in an especially restrictive place. On the other hand, I have a tiny creek on my property, and I've been warned that if I were to build a small dam / create a small pool for crayfish to live in, the EPA would get me, even though the area affected would total maybe three square yards. STUPID. It's MY three square yards, and without me, NOTHING would be living there. I'm BUILDING a habitat, not destroying one! Then there was the guy who was fined because the BEAVERS built a dam on his stream. STUPID. [QUOTE]Of course, there are plenty of mundane permits, but I won't get into that.[/QUOTE] Good idea.. then we could get into all the stupid ramifications of enforcing said mundane permits. [QUOTE]The courts only mediate what they see as a lawsuit from a plaintiff to a defendant. [/QUOTE] the HRC and similar things create the ability for there to be plaintiffs, legitimate and otherwise (more otherwise, from what I've experienced). Hence, multizilliondollar lawsuits, hence increased costs, hence increased prices, cut staff, and cut budgets, hence a DECREASE rather than an increase in access and services. Just like insurance fraud. [/QB][/QUOTE]
