• It certainly doesn't help when a major metropolitan newspaper promotes the anti-vax bunkum: "The Sun-Times proudly supports Generation Rescue & Autism One." http://www.suntimes.com/lifestyles/12512693-423/jenny-mccarthy-promotes-options-for-autism-treatment.html -- MrJM

• Alex, You have something to look forward to: "The Thick of It" is wildly superior to "In the Loop." Note 1: Although there is overlap of characters and actors, the stories do not take place in the same universe, i.e. forget what you know about one when watching the other. Note 2: You can watch "The Thick of It" serialized on YouTube, e.g. http://youtu.be/NSRN8O4ULQs All the best, etc., -- MrJM

• Mr. Moore's interpretation of copyright is incorrect. The person taking a picture of him- or herself retains the rights to the photograph even if a copy of the photograph is given to someone else. It is no different from a magazine that retains the copyright to an photo that it publishes within an issue that it sends to a subscriber. The subscriber has a right to that copy of the image, but the subscriber does not have any copyrights in that image. There is money to be made by taking this clown to court. -- MrJM

• @Jim Breckenridge from Brooklyn - Can you direct me to the program that you were listening to? It certainly wasn't the one I was listening to but it sounds like it would have been very interesting. -- MrJM

• HunterJE: "What we have is a government-run institution saying right out that it considers impinging on the constitutional rights of citizens something it does and a valid tool." Exactly. And those who don't believe that police departments should determine when constitutional rights are and aren't applicable should consider a membership in the Electronic Frontier Foundation: https://www.eff.org/ -- MrJM
