E.E.E. Embrace. Extend. Extinguish. When you're the highest contributor, you get to exert certain control that would otherwise be impossible. They have a vested interest in this.

    Being allowed just one of your rights under the constitution is not being allowed all of them. If you're within 100 miles of a border, a US customs agent can by current law surpress your 4th amendment right. I did not mean to imply that you lost all constitutional protections in such zone, but the current government doesn't really care about constitutional intent or law and has punched all kinds of holes in it. Just see the current admins attempts to revoke the 14th amendment without an act of congress. Laws are messy. What it says on the tin is not garunteed to be what you're allowed, especially in our modern oligarchical republic.

    I think, if I've read him right, he's not hand waving a dui he's pointing out that a binge drinker would've not gotten the dui in the first place because they have a handle on their heavy consumption, where as, an alcoholic does not and would not taper off their consumption leading to the dui?

    You have no right to demand of my time, nor assume such broad statements, and yes, I did address. I'm addressing it now with you, I address it. I don't know why you're choosing ignorance and hostility.

    I never said women cannot call out a man doing anything of that nature, but to imply that it is all men is being sexist, by definition. Surely you see that? It would be the same if I said all women do x, all men do y, all whatever do ______.

    True, but that bleeds into all sorts of messy edge questions and theoreticals. I think it's safe to hypothesize for now through with what's available for anecdotal evidence and observed studies that they do recognize us and potentially some other large animals as some form of living mass/creature and not just a wall.
