Stores propose to do away with cash registers, and the staff that run them, by pressuring people into paying with their phones and thus getting totally profiled.

Using this dis-service will put other people out of work and thus spread poverty. It will also result in tracking you. So don't be tracked — pay cash!

If you go to a store and find you don't have enough cash, that is no reason to let the store know who you are. Visit an ATM to get cash, then pay cash!

And make sure that your computers' WiFi is totally off before you enter the store.

That will take a few minutes. Don't you value your freedom enough to make a few minutes' effort to preserve it?

The new effective ruler of Salafi Arabia has doubled the rate of executions. Among the prisoners awaiting execution are some political prisoners convicted of protesting.

To make schools safer, don't put more thugs in them.

I can't judge the effectiveness of the SEAD program, but I'm pretty sure that teachers who are overworked and overstretched, and desperately aiming for high results on standardized tests, won't have much attention to spare for "the whole child". I think the first step towards making schools safer is to address those systemic problems. I expect that will reduce the stress on students, too, and that might by itself reduce the school shootings along with plenty of other problems.

Tennessee wants to fund thugs in schools — typically arresting students — through forfeiture. Two injustices for the price of one.

Civil forfeiture is simply punishment without trial.

It's impossible to detect school shooters in advance by monitoring the social media postings of all students, because (1) most of those who commit violence don't show signs in advance, and (2) most of the students that show what people might take for signs don't commit violence.

The bully must publish his rules for drone assassinations.
