And here's the best part: most of the outlaw commodes sold in Windsor are made in the U.S. by companies like Kohler and American Standard. The high-flush models can still be produced for export, so long as they are not resold in the U.S. And thanks to NAFTA, they are duty free...

This drug smothering from the air has a credible track record in the region, cutting narcotics production in both Bolivia and Peru over the past decade...
With history as our guide, we can expect that the government will use this event to push through legislation authorizing digital wiretapping without court orders, to outlaw encryption that the government cannot crack and to track the location of cell-phone users without their knowledge. They'll push laws that eliminate individual rights in exchange for more government "protection" against cybercrime...
