Former right-wing French president Sarkozy has been convicted of campaign funding violations.

He was famous for launching prosecutions against people who spoke sharply about him, including someone who said, "Sarkozy, I see you!" to criticize a state action that resulted from Sarkozy's decision, and someone who repeated to Sarkozy an insulting phrase that he had said to a member of the public.

The London thug department has hardly bothered to keep violent misogynists out.

Two other thugs that joined the murdered, Couzens, in racist and misogynist conversations are being investigated but continue working.

We should not imprison people for their opinions, but if cops are racist or misogynist, they are unfit for their jobs.

The London thug department has warned women to distrust any single non-uniformed individual that claims to be arresting them.

For the reasons described in the article, it will be difficult to follow this advice. People will be afraid of prosecution for "resisting arrest." Would you have confidence that citing this announcement would get you cleared instantly of such charges? I would not.

Moreover, cops can't do their legitimate job if people distrust them. They have to win trust — and not just from women, but also from blacks that expect to be harassed frequently by thugs that are not insane, merely racist.

The US government will raise the price of flood insurance to match increased flood risk.

Subsidizing flood insurance encourages people to live in houses that are likely to flood. After each flood, people will repair them and continue living there. For society, having houses in those places is repeated wasteful expense.

Once flooding becomes likely, it would be better for society to rescue the homeowners by buying the flooded houses for what they would have been worth in the absence of flood danger, and hold that land to ensure no house is built there again.

Crackers attack school computer systems to steal students' personal identification data, so as to use it for financial fraud.

How about if schools were not allowed to ask for such data from students? Indeed, why do they collect it nowadays? What do they use it for? Do they use it to give it to companies that should not get it either?
