So the U.S. government is only divided into two branches, Executive and Legislative? The Judicial branch is not part of the government?
I seem to recall learning it differently in my Civics class, and I don't recall it changing.
Yeah, yeah... with gov in this context I meant what we call in Europe the 'Cabinet'.
Still, you want to be careful here. If you allow the Judicial branch to not be a co-conspirator, then to be consistent, then you should accept that decisions made by most judges, absent actual evidence to the contrary, are honest decisions made on the weight of the evidence presented in court.
I do not think that any judge can derive from written law an 'honest decision' regarding the amount of money that Lucky Larry should receive. This case is unprecedented.
Also, I'm a little confused by your statement on cell phone usage from airplanes.
Do you now agree that cell phone calls can be made from airplanes?
Sure it's possible... if a plane is circling above a congested airport at low altitude and speed then I am sure it is possible. I accept the judgment of the Canadian professor that one can call from a large airliner up until 2000 feet. Above that it deteriorates rapidly. In a Cessna with no Faraday Cage effects AKD has shown that it can work until 8000 feet.
