Guns Under Lock and Key Could Now Be Anywhere, Police Say.
@2: my two dogs may be giant pusses and overly friendly but they make a ton of noise when you startle them but opening a door especially when they are sleeping. Once they figure out you are a human that can pet them they shut their yap but hopefully they'd scare away whatever was at the door before that

Private-Prison Company Assists with Random High-School Drug Sweep.
"According to Anderson, three students were arrested as a result of the October 31 Vista Grande raid: two female students, ages 15 and 17, as well as one 15-year-old male. According to Anderson, the 15-year-old female was found in possession of .10 grams of marijuana; the 15-year-old male student was found in possession of .50 grams of marijuana; and the 17-year-old female was found in possession of 10 ounces of marijuana. According to Anderson, this last quantity was "individually packaged."
"
Getting your life ruined for 0.1 grams of what I would presume is weed scraps is insane. I'd say if you bring drugs to school you deserve to be arrested becasue your an idiot but I'm sure at points in my life I had enough 0.1 grams of weed on my in school. Like bits in my pack or something

Florida Denny's Owner to Add 5 Percent Obamacare Surcharge to Bills.
@12: They are in a business which has been historically built on exploiting underpaid workers and routinely skirting tax laws. It seems to me that if a business is getting shut down for labor violations and/or not paying taxes it's either a restaurant or bar. They don't like to be told to pay their fair share because they never had before.

This Dog Ain't Having It.
I have two dogs. One to smart for his own good and knows if he barks he gets to come inside and if he barks aggressively he gets to come in faster. He learned this trick from the other one just likes to bark at select people and dogs walking by. I'll toss them out (never when I'm not home) and let them back in when one starts barking. I wouldn't subject my neighbors to my dogs annoying-ness

The Election Is a Tie So Far.
@16, I could only imagine the Republican fuckery in major metro cities that vote blue in Blue states (NYC, Buffalo, LA, Seattle, etc) if we got rid of the EC. With the current system it makes no sense to go to these areas and try to suppress big chunks of voters because it's so lopsided but with a popular vote it could be important

What Do You Think About Modifying the Electoral College?.
I love that, as a NYer, i don't need to vote for President. Don't take that away from me! Based on 2008 in NY, only 51% of the eligible voters voted and another 2 million+ people could have stayed home and not voted and it'll still would have democrat. Think about that and you realize for the majority of states, your vote has no say in the overall picture with the current electoral college

Good Thing We Won That Civil War.
IDK, it's kinda nice living in NY and never having to worry about voting in a presedential election. If we got rid of the EC, then I'd have to go vote. Or at least stop voting green party
