Getting the police to subpoena the information from Microsoft?

I like the XBox idea, but does he know his email address? Or did you mean an MSN Messenger IM? (Or his his Hotmail account stored with password/etc?)

Centrino means the following, FYI:

Latop has:
- Intel Pentium M chip (1.3-2.0 Ghz currently)
- Intel chipset (855 I think)
- Integrated 802.11b wireless (or b/g depending on version of Centrino)

Right, exactly.

We just have different views on how the states would react without a powerful federal government.

Re-read it, and it's pretty much the same as yours. Nuh uh. You said it wouldn't work. I answered with reasons why I thought it would in answer to the rest of your post (which I did read, as is obvious by my responding to your points). Did you read the rest of mine? No, I was referring to the statm...

I am suprised you didn't say guilty until proven innocent. Also historically speaking overly harsh punishment doesn't work. Hell look at England in the middle ages you could die for stealing didn't stop it. I do get a laugh when people bring up caning since Singapore got it from the British. Why, j...

Everybody says that, but I wonder if it's really true.
I don't.

It just isn't as time efficient.

Well, the federal government certainly has acted within the realm of the constitution I strongly disagree with this statement. The thing is, only the federal government is in charge of telling the federal government if it's following the rules or not. That's no good, IMO. If the states were doing m...

(How was this not a topic? Or did I miss it?)

Personal belief: Punishment should NOT fit the crime. Punishment should be overly harsh and severe, possibly even cruel or unusual.

You steal $20, you get $100 worth of punishment, etc.

Wait, that doesn't address the feasibility issue at all. What feasibility issue? They already do a popular vote, how is it not feasible? You said: I disagree, I believe the electoral college was a way of allowing for a presidential election on such a grand scale in a reasonable amount of time. If, ...

laissez-faire, if only to see how it really works.

On the other hand, what about drugs, etc that end up killing people since they weren't tested and such? People can just sue back, but what if the company goes bankrupt first?
