assistant: All it takes to get a hung jury is for just _one_ juror to hold out for
acquittal.  Even if you're right that about the other 11 seeing it the way
the prosecutor will want, that other single juror will make for a hung jury.
    You're not observing a key difference: the rioters in L.A. were from
neighborhoods chronically prone to crime (including rioting), but OKC showed
no looting after the bombing.

You can pretty well bet that the FBI would look pretty silly if they paid
someone $1 MILLION, and all they ended up with was clues in a pipe bombing
which blew up a few cars.  If they really wanted to get their money's worth,
they would hope for clues in a multi-million dollar bombing.

i've been following this dollar coin thing in the news and quite

fact that coins are debt free. this is reason enough for me.
does anyone out there have a good argument against getting rid of the

this would be much harder to do. it might be possible _after_ a few
years of using the coins. we should try to push this one coin at a
