The Amish version of Politico is Ezekiel, a pompous 40-year-old who makes assumptions and pronouncements that he's now intellectually capable of making.
Ham, I don't think it's "competing leakers" - I think McKinsey is offering several possible cures: one where CN closes mags & cuts expenses by one amount, and one where they DON'T close mags, & must cut expenses by an even larger amount to make up for it.
"As with any cop, my responsibility is to enforce the law, not to create it or ignore it."
This is a central flaw in his argument. There are literally hundreds of small crimes and infractions police observe every day that are just ignored: jaywalking, not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign, going three miles over the speed limit, etc. There are also thousands of laws on the books that aren't enforced, for instance, oral sex is forbidden in South Carolina.
It's impossible to enforce everything evenly across the population, so certain priorities should be set so that the police can effectively balance personal freedoms, fairness and a stable public order. (I've read way too much political philosophy.)
@stanner: It would be fun to go to states with these sorts of laws on the books and film their transgression; and by "fun," I mean "freakin' awesome." -- Excuse me while I go write a National Endowment for the Arts grant proposal and a couple Craig's List personals.
Aquaman and Octomom - it's meant to be! Someone introduce these two crazy kids NOW! Preferably in a birthing pool, to cover all interests and eventualities.

It's good to know this guy has such a light workload that he has the time to stalk some college kids. Go America!
