When I read "defund the police" I assume that they mean what they are saying. What do you think is meant by the phrase "defund planned Parenthood"?

how is that different than in c/c++ simply adding asserts at the start and end of functions?

The problem with UBI trials is that they cost a lot of money to be remotely effective. That is because for it to be somewhat meaningful the amount has to be high, it has to involve…
