Most effective would be to remove the USSC policy of qualified immunity, which USSC basically made up in the 1970s. It makes it ridiculously difficult to successfully sue for damages. The States could start to change this, but that would re

I live in a town where property owner's lot lines connect - 1/2 way into what looks like a road. The 'roads' are actually reciprocal easements to every other property owner in town. A big part of town budget is to mainta

I hadn't bothered to look if stories could be turned off. Thanks! If you have another moment for tech support, how to turn off picture metadata stripping? When I send a picture I know who I send it to and I want the GPS in there.
