  Re:

  that should make a compelling argument in court in regards to border crossings. "Do I HAVE to break the law in order to enter the country legally?" or rather, "If I have to break the CFAA in order to enter the US, does that mean I am an Illegal?"

  lets put it this way. say there is a backdoor to Parliament, and someone either obtains a key or brute forces the door open, that door is no longer secure. Now lets say that back door leads to financial records, or other sensitive information of Parliament. What then? They have fucked up by putting a back door into the secure records of Parliament and thinking no one but "authorized" personnel has access to it. Meanwhile, the door doesn't care if you have proper authorization or not, it is there for one purpose, to let people in and out.

  Re: Hate Trump = Change System

  the system IS broken. I live in a state that is regularly more purple than red/blue. each candidate USUALLY takes 40-50% of the votes. The winner gets ALL of the votes, meaning the other HALF of the votes are essentially thrown out.
  
  Yes my state COULD do that, but it won't do that. Because it is not in the prominent party's favor to do so (Republicans). And so it falls onto Judicial review to change things.
  
  Remember what I said earlier about power, People in Power rarely give it up voluntarily.

  Re: Seems a bit late…

  Band-aid usually refers to the small 2 inch long, 1 inch wide self adhesive bandage. However, there are also other types of bandages as well. For example, large gauze or cloth bandages that need medical tape or a roll (or tube) bandage (3M Coban LF) or compression bandage (ACE bandage)
  
  Roller blades/Inline Skates are interchangeable here.
  
  thing with Clorox/Bleach, is that Clorox makes other cleaners too, and there are a shit ton of other bleaches than Clorox.
