@4 c4's are not charities they are social welfare orgs. Social welfare is broadly defined under tax law. Things like HOA's are c4's as are civic leagues, social clubs, and a whole host of other non-profit non-charities.

They can lobby and educate, and even be directly involved in elections.

Contributions to them are only tax deductible in very limited circumstances.

They were not law abiding Americans.

I would not be surprised if that gets changed but even if not, I can think of a number of ways to circumvent that. E.g. suspend in water or some other easily removed or inert substance.

I could really give a fuck about the future of the corrupt and rather silly medical industry. It should be integrated.

@1 My guess is those dildos don't really want the county to get more money, much less the state.

I refuse to ruin food by taking it that seriously. Hell I refuse to ruin anything by taking it that seriously.

@3 Frozen microwave meals from Eat Local are delicious, healthy, and quick.

@3 So that explains the complete mismatch between the style of their site and their cause.

Bullshit.

@8 The false alarms where a big reason why I ditched it, though I most certainly kept the signs up as I agree they are a big part of the deterrent.

My system still works even though it is unmonitored. I plug it in when I go out of town and the dogs are not there. The cops won't get called by the alarm company, but it should scare away the burglars and alert my neighbors.

@1 There is also the install cost, or a much higher monthly rate if you lease it. Before I cancelled mine I was paying around 65 a month which was for a system with free installation. That's nearly 800 bucks a year. Plus it was a hassle as of course I would forget to disarm it in the morning, or when I went in through the back door or opened a window.

Considering that insurance will pay for what's stolen, and the chance of getting robbed is not that high, the cost might not be worth.

Plus unless he had motion detectors aimed at the right spot or a broken glass sensor, an alarm won't matter if they don't open the door and just break the glass.

That would be interesting statistics to have though. Same with whether they have a dog or not and what size. Part of the reason I cancelled mine is that I now have a couple dogs including a nice big scary one.
