Humane Lobster boiling and well paid officers

Whole Foods says its ban on lobster sales will stand -- except in Maine
Oh this one is hysterical. PETA supports the humane killing of lobster... the best bit of this article is how they think giving lobsters private tanks and humane electric shock deaths will spread to all grocery stores...... Right, and I can turn inanimate objects into gold.

Oh and this article is nothing short of appalling:
Pay exceeds $140,000 for hundreds of troopers
To all of those critics who thought Matt Damon's co-signed apartment on Beacon Hill in The Departed was too suspicious.... think again.

I'm all for police officers making a decent wage since they put their lives on the line..... but personally I believe anything over 75k should be reserved for sheriffs and 20 year veterans. I think I just figured out how to fix the burgeoning crime rate in Boston. Terminate everyone who makes over 100k and doesn't run a police force. Put a salary cap at 100k that increases with the cost of living. Replace overpaid officers with new officers who make between 40-60k then take all of the extra money and put new cops on the street. Additionally rig cameras & lidar/radar up on interstates and busy state highways and eliminate at least 1/3 of the speed/ traffic task force. Establish an ad campaign to educate (and scare) the public into maintaining safe speeds. Police officers should be protecting the peace, not collecting taxes. Lets leave that to the IRS. Task forces can redirect funds appropriately for increased surveillance in troubled neighborhoods, etc. Officers from my knowledge, are not compensated nearly this much in other states, and the do as good, and in some instances arguably, a better job than those in Massachusetts.
