We can only hope that Arizona has water front property. That would mean that the San Andreas was really our friend and we removed all of our left coast problems.

There is no question that all of the career politicans, regardless of party, are responsible for our current mess. In fact, it is hard to tell them apart because they swap sides and stated positions faster than I can change my underwear. Our problem as an electorate is that we keep throwing one set of bums out... and electing another, even worse, set of bums.

That my friend is the upside of global warming (rising seas take out NYC, California, etc). Unfortunately, I may neeed to move a tad bit further north than Houston, but all in all, its a trade-off I'm willing to make.

Actually last winter was a little too cold for me. Since man can totally control the weather, we need to find out what causes global warming and do more of it.

Grab a map and set a compass to a 100m radius by the scale, then look at how few of those circles it would take to cover a huge area. A car-mounted reader could cover a swath 100m each side of the road it's on, making an area search pretty easy too. With a directional antenna and a calibrated signal strength meter, a fairly accurate location could be had from a single, stationary reader. Failing that, triangulation using a mobile reader with only the directional antenna is trivial.

Even with only a 20-30m range it would be a simple matter for a pedophile to drive around between school-let-out and 5PM looking for a house with no cars in the driveway but an active tag inside. Depending on how tags are issued, it might even be possible to narrow down a range of tags as being issued to a particular range of student ages. Gender is fairly easy to figure out too; how many parents have sports or band signs in the yard with the kid's name on them?
