The thing is, I also partake of whisky, rum, brandy etc. anyway, as long as I have a G & T most of the time...

Have you tried water? All the cool kids are drinking that now.

Water is bad, it needs flavoring to become drinkable

How can a human not like water? Ain't nothin' more delicious than a glass of cold water on a hot day.

It's important to avoid water intoxication. Adding the right supplements to your water is a necessary precaution.
Gin serves this purpose well, and I find olive brine in moderation keeps my sodium levels stable.

Feds seek to seize all profits from Snowden’s book over NDA violation
Snowden didn't submit it to gov't for pre-approval; DOJ says he's in breach of contract.

That shit's for life.
Still, the absurdity is glaring. They can only win through brute force, and once again they'll make a mockery of law.

Re: Yet more problematic stuff
Visionaries in Mississippi have hit on a splendid way of expediting the American approach to undocumented immigrants.
'"Chilling": Mississippi City Claims Undocumented Man Killed by Police Had No Constitutional Rights'
'"Chilling": Mississippi City Claims Undocumented Man Killed by Police Had No Constitutional Rights'
A court filing publicized late last week drew outrage on Monday over the case of Ismael Lopez, a 41-year-old man who was killed by police two years ago in Southaven, Mississippi.
To avoid responsibility for the man's death, attorneys for the city are arguing that Lopez had no constitutional rights due to his status as an undocumented immigrant—blatantly contradicting U.S. law and numerous rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court. Kristen Clarke, executive director of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, was among the immigrant rights defenders who drew attention to the case on social media.
Lopez was shot in the back of the head when the police came to his home, where he'd lived for 16 years, in July 2017. His widow, Claudia Linares, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the city of Southaven this past summer, a year after a grand jury declined to indict the two officers involved in his death.
Southaven officials argued in a court filing revealed late last week that Lopez did not have Fourth Amendment or 14th Amendment rights—leaving him without protection from unreasonable search and seizures or equal protection under law.
"If [Lopez] ever had Fourth Amendment or 14th Amendment civil rights, they were lost by his own conduct and misconduct," reads the court filing. "Ismael Lopez may have been a person on American soil but he was not one of the 'We, the People of the United States' entitled to the civil rights invoked in this lawsuit."
Murray Wells, Lopez's family's attorney, called the city's claim "chilling," "insane," and "ludicrous" in a press conference on Thursday.

What is funny in a gallows humor way is that the Nazgûl might very well endorse this absurdity if the case rises up to SCOTUS

Re: Yet more problematic stuff
the UN is a signatory the the UNDHR, and isn't the idea of the inalienable rights of 'all men' a founding principle of the nation - not the rights of the people we decide should have them are inalienable? Also isn't another founding principle that when the government fails to ensure these rights the people are morally obliged to abolish it?
