We want FREEDOM!!
Maybe she was exaggerating a little bit, but still who is disturbed by praying?
so even the Christians are getting pissed off at the cops.
that is why I have started Leprechaun Lando a Wiki that can help organize a
productive effective strategy to show and change the stupidity of %80 of what the
cops do.

Religous rights vs. civil rights.
Religous rights vs. civil rights.
Posted by Anok •
Now, we've lal been debating the controversial gay marriage stuff - but that's not exactly what this post is about. There are a multitude of civil rights hat may clash with religious beliefs, and the right to practice said beliefs.
At what point is the line of "rights" drawn in the sand? Which rights trump which rights?
For example, my religion, in yesteryear had practiced things like animal or human sacrifice. Obviously, this is illegal now (and has been for sometime). But "sacrifice" is still a part of my religion. (Done symbolically with coins or gifts now) Is the law against human and animal sacrifice an infringement on my religious beliefs? (You can probably think of a hundred examples for varying religions)
Furthermore, is the enactment of a law in favor of one religious group an infringement of other's religious rights? For example, if we legalized fatwas, or issued burqua's, or required attendance to church on the Sabbath, Sunday, or Pagan holidays of worship. What about legalizing religious doctrine? What about creating laws that go against religious doctrine?
Where is the line, and how would you define religious discrimination, social discrimination, and civil liberties?

The current prison systems throughout the world are not set up to rehabilitate or correct prisoners (as correctional facilities so claim). These systems are set up to warehouse human beings so that the elite minority feels safe and secure. To keep this false sense of security, this minority supports politicians who set their political platforms on removing from our societies those by whom this powerful minority feels threatened.
Free men, who hadn't violated any US laws and were not imprisoned, boarded several planes on 9/11 and wreaked havoc with the secure feelings in which the powerful minority found peace and security. Why did these men become terrorists? Because they had no hope in obtaining equality or eliminating poverty for their friends and families in any other legal way. Neither did they understand what true freedom and democracy was all about, having never received an opportunity to learn how it could work in their favor.
All prisons should be established to educate and reform, through caring and love, those who serve time in them; giving them an example (the first they have probably ever had in their lives) of how humans should treat one another.
If we can strengthen the people and obtain the voice we need, we can transform all prisons throughout the world into schools of learning, schools of social reform, and human institutions instead of human zoos. (However, in many instances even animals in zoos are treated better than incarcerated humans.)

All we need is enough people to UNIFY and declare to our governments, that WE VALUE HUMAN LIFE more than we value POT.
“To pay back the NATIONAL DEBT and allow the Government all the MONEY IT needs to do whatever IT has to do to serve the interests of those whom IT is supposed to serve...”
“...We, hereby declare that MARIJUANA , from this day forward, has the exact same value as GOLD. There's plenty of MARIJUANA, in them thar' hills!”
...We, the Worldwide United Foundation and the Leprechauns, by strength of our united voice, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world and the consciences of all its people for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the majority of the good People of planet earth, solemnly publish and declare, That every human thus given the respect and honor of being born into our world, and so-named equally by those here now, will be provided and guaranteed free food, shelter, clothing, health care (both physical and mental), and education, from the day of our birth to the day of our mortal death; and that as a united voice of the majority, we have full Power to demand these things from those who govern us, commanding them to establish international law to protect and enforce our will. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence and our united resolve, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor, herein submitting our names to this cause.

Can you trust a Leprechaun?
I got this article from whistlestopper.com I took the liberty to bold a few things
Tucker began with a little story, like this: two burglars, Bob and Al, are captured near the scene of a burglary and are given the "third degree" separately by the police. Each has to choose whether or not to confess and implicate the other. If neither man confesses, then both will serve one year on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon. If each confesses and implicates the other, both will go to prison for 10 years. However, if one burglar confesses and implicates the other, and the other burglar does not confess, the one who has collaborated with the police will go free, while the other burglar will go to prison for 20 years on the maximum charge.
The interesting thing about the scenario is that there's a temptation to "defect" (rat on your partner) but it only works if the other guy doesn't do it. If both defect, the result for both players is worse than if they had both "cooperated" (remained silent). In other words, selfish opportunism screws things up for both players. This apparent paradox was studied extensively by many people, including John Nash (of A Beautiful Mind fame, who won a Nobel for it) and Robert Axelrod. Axelrod's specialty was the iterated prisoners' dilemma, in which two or more players play multiple rounds of the basic prisoners' dilemma, remembering history and trying to maximize their results according to different strategies. As described in his book The Evolution of Cooperation the selfish opportunistic strategies are not optimal. The best strategies over the long term are those that encourage mutual cooperation, not pure competition.
Too abstract, you say? Not applicable to real people in real situations? Consider gridlock. It's a very common and obvious example of people each trying to take advantage of others' cooperative nature, and screwing themselves and everyone else in the process. Four people who approach an intersection in a cooperative frame of mind will all get through it faster than four people who each try to rush the light and end up creating a traffic jam.
Still not good enough? Consider these examples, then:
Imagine two companies, competing in multiple markets. One (Microsoft) uses bundling or predatory pricing to drive another (Netscape) out of a market, or perhaps out of business altogether. Once that is achieved, the monopoly holder is able to prosper despite inferior products or service. The more innovative competitor is gone, and the market suffers.
Imagine several airlines, each charging about the same price for tickets. This works great for them, so long as nobody "defects" by undercutting the others and trying to gain market share. As soon as someone does that, a price war ensues and they're all worse off than if they had all settled for the profits from the cooperative arrangement.
Yes, these things really happen. Anybody who doesn't see that is blind. A hasty interlocutor might at this point say that the second example shows how the selfish urge can defeat monopolistic schemes, but there's a problem with that. The people who run companies know this stuff. Some of them knew this stuff before there was such a thing as game theory, and the others stayed awake in class. They know how to use game theory to their advantage, to profit from the first scenario and stay out of the second. They rely on people who didn't stay awake in class to spread the dogma that lets them continue making money by means other than providing superior products and services. It suits their purposes very well indeed to have foot soldiers who reassure everyone that the "invisible hand" will take care of everything and there's no reason for government to get involved. Another one of Axelrod's results was that the only time opportunistic strategies do work is when there's a high percentage of naive always-cooperate players for them to fleece.
So there you have it. From very basic game theory to real-life economics, the same principles hold true. Some people would have us believe that something will be magically different if we just turn this knob or push that button. That's bunk. No rule is universal, but when a rule holds true across a broad variety of situations it's less logical to believe it will break down in a new situation with no significant differences than that it will continue to hold true. Whether the proponents of such an illogical and counterfactual theory are simply naive or hope to benefit by convincing others of something they themselves don't believe is unclear, but nobody who has studied game theory would ever be taken in.
Rest in peace, John von Neumann. Your work did make a difference.
No Mormon can be a klanestro.
I've been brainwashed from them my whole life.
I have a thing or too with the make believe. Yesterday me and my friend where kicked out of the mormon church.
WHY ; He did not let me take my Psychological Service Animal into the building,
Truth: Mormons have a lot of Pot by that I mean a lot of things that are RIGHT.
The Book of mormon might be true, and any true member of the church of jesus christ (not his real name) does not believe that the Sealed Portion is true. Because Moroni's Promise was applicable to ALL OF HIS WRITTINGS. Only if the sealed portion is true. Cut and Paste that one.
Thats why I LOVE THE COFFEE QUEEN!!
And that is a lot more light their than the Mormon Profit,
I don't know the person in charge of that church can probably kill me if he asked the right person. he could be the real thing, But What Idols does He worship? are they good ones?
What do you think?
