No? who stopped them from having any nudity in films from the 1930's
until the 1970's then? Who created the comic book code in the 1950's?
The precedent was set by those. There *may* not be any actual laws
governing it (something I am virtually certain is nonsence - otherwise
Ibsons' and Howard Sterns' radio stations/networks wouldn't have got
fines from guess who? Stern isn't even *allowed* on broadcast radio
anymore *because* of it.

No, just that editorials can have exageration for effect and don't
have to contrain to the "standards of truth" that other articles have.
Therefore stretching of the facts and outright lies occur in them.
That's all I meant.

Look, I have serious problems with the way Can Con works. I have
from the start. But I think it comes down to them not getting and
keeping bright enough people in government to do the job properly.
A point that was proved quite clearly when Patrick Watson quit as
the head of the CBC. The bureaucrats under him wouldn't follow his
orders. That's straight from his mouth.

I *do* see the authoritarian results thereof, but that's part and
parcel of what some cops are all about. I'd bet money that a *large*
chunk of cops become police *because* they can throw their weight
around. As for the effect on traffic stops, that point I made about
the flashlight wasn't just made up, I was in a car when it
happened - outside of Smith Falls. It was a DUI stop. The driver
happened to not have his insurance. Exactly the same as a cop opening
a drawer when he's in your house: he wouldn't know that the insurance
wasn't in the car unless he stopped without cause. They *only* fined
him for not having his insurance in the car. Nothing other action was
taken. I even mentioned at the time that I didn't think it was a valid
stop or chase - and they *did* chase us and several other cars. With lights
flashing.

I just put it down to some people are aholes and like to push others
around. So they give them a whistle to shut them up.

That sort of thing happens *everywhere*. Here's the most recent famous
one IMHO. In Australia this past weekend.

And you'll find that it's far more a right wing tendency than left.
Something *far* more prevalent in the US than in Canada. I don't say
this due to dislike of the (overmanipulated IMHO) citizens of the US,
but from dislike of the people *doing* that manipulation.

Really, I'm not trolling you, I'm just trying to make some points I think
may have missed.

Isn't this the basic problem in most countries? Shoot, look at Pelosi.
She's the poster girl for Term Limits.

No, that would be Max Mosely - changed the regulations so he could go
beyond what they said and then changed them back again before he quit.
Pelosi was elected despite some very badly tampered with polls. It just
means she got her seat that much more legitimately.
