Oh, I see, now. I should have inferred "The military also trains young people to kill justifiably, legally, and within rational moral confines" from your statement ""the institution that trains young people to murder." That is simple.

You said, "the institution that trains young people to murder."

1. Honor and virtue? You just moved the goalpost. http://goo.gl/JDL8vp Having served, I can say that you will find a fairly representative cross section of society serving, perhaps slightly more patriotic and honorable than John Q. Public.

The fact of the matter is, the person may be tried, convicted, and punished (or acquitted) in both places, and a finding of innocence or guilt in either place does not guarantee the same outcome in the other.

It is widely reported that her answer to question #1 is, "I don't remember." That would seem to indicate reasonable doubt.

So, all military casualties are murders, since that is what we train our military for, murder? Any veteran who has killed an enemy combatant is a murderer? Any support trooper or REMF who aids the warriors is an accessory to murder?

Or, better yet, a rifle.

Where it is confusing, for me, from a legal standpoint, is how to codify bad drunken behavior while allowing consensual drunken behavior. I'll draw an analogy to illustrate:

Another confusing language issue: How does one refer to a transgendered person's past, using pronouns? For instance,

What you wrote made me think of an idea that may be at root of the issue.

It's the double-edged sword of any action that "defends" an entity, the back side of the blade condemns the defended as one who needed protecting.

I believe one factor, more than any other, perpetuates the gender chasm: the omnipresent specter of a sexual harassment lawsuit.

I actually do this with everything, not just chargers. As I accomplish tasks around the house, I will make a "car key mountain" that stages all the stuff I can't forget to take with me, piled on top of my keys.

Agreed. If a free T-shirt shows up at a net cost less than the island tailor can produce one like it, then the island tailor is performing unnecessary labor, and his time could be better spent on some other task that can't be supplanted by a container full of practically free shirts.

Instead of putting your chargers on the floor where you'll step on them, just put your car keys on top of the charger, or put the cord through your key ring. No way to leave without noticing the charger.

The +3-8 rule is a different way of saying that most crashes happen during or near takeoff and landing. No big secret, there; adding a lot of energy to a stationary object to make it fly and removing energy from it to make it stationary again are both the most difficult tasks in aviation.

I thought I had selected the right TV, on paper, until I discovered it was sold locally at a big box store and went to see it, in person. The picture was fine, but its ability to handle motion (big, fast moving football players pixelated and golf balls blurred, badly). Only by seeing it side-by-side with other TVs…

Don't forget the venerable Opti-Grab.

I also blame the continuous nature of the game. 90 minutes with one break is very different than the stop and go nature of football and baseball. Basketball has lots of time outs and clock stoppages, and, even if you miss a couple of baskets, chances are they are not game-deciding.

You're right about the parity. Golf: women and men, especially playing from different tee boxes, look a lot alike to the average spectator. Same with tennis, and same, to a degree, with soccer, although as one pretty familiar with that sport, the women's games lack the occasional 1/3rd-field, on-a-rope shots on goal…
