State attorney Dusan Ondracek told CTK Wednesday that he has brought charges against six members of the Ztohoven group of Czech artists on suspicion of hoaxing by penetrating television broadcasts and simulating an atomic bomb blast
There are enough laws in the modern state that if the state disapproves of a citizens actions, not because they are illegal, simply because they embarrass the state, charges can be brought for anything. We live in a world of state over-reach where there are far, far too many laws and restrictions on liberty. It effectively makes enforcement arbitrary.
This isn't the first time this thing has happened. There was the issue of the Mooninites in Boston which were suspected of being terrorist devices, and when it obviously wasn't, the Governor continued to go after the two marketers as if they were terrorists. Other states had seen the displays and just had DMV workers pull them down. Not the idiocy that prevailed in Boston.
The state continues to grow in size and complexity. It has done so to the point now that it can punish citizens through any number of laws for embarrassing the state or anyone else that the state thinks should not be embarrassed - such as a TV station. Through economic liberalism aspects of the states control of the economy are decreasing, this is a good thing, but the over-sized aspect of the state from the command and control days is not being dismantled. The entropy is toward increasing legal disorder through more and more laws. This makes enforcement effectively arbitrary and enables tyranny.

Arizona is an outdoor state and has lots of hiking in the city and around the state. Phoenix is unusual for most cities in having several large mountains in the center of the city with great hiking. Anyone who comes to Phoenix has to do the Echo Canyon trail on Camelback and the Summit Hike on Squaw Peak or Piesta Peak. The views of the city, suburbs and surrounding mountains are wonderful from Camelback and Piesta Peak.
For more experienced hikers there is the McDowell Mountains in North Scottsdale that has several difficult and strenuous hikes in Tom's Thumb and Bell Pass. Alternatively, you can hike the highest mountain in Arizona. At 12,600 feet Humphrey's Peak is a long and difficult hike.
Alternate Australian Constitutions
Between 2004 and 2009 this site, southsearepublic.org, was a constitutional blog based on scoop which focused on Australian and global constitutional issues.
One of the strongest aspects of it was the development of constitutions by those involved in the blog. These constitutions are the outcome:
The constitutions were built using principles from Montesquieu's separation of powers, the enlightnment's universal political rights and the ancient Athenian technology of sortition and choice by lot.

I am an Australian living in the United States as a permanent resident.
I am a software developer by trade and mostly work in Java and jump between middleware and front end.
I originally worked in the New York area of the United States in telecommunications before moving to Washington DC and
working in a mix of telecommunications, energy and ITS. I started my own software company before heading out to
Arizona and working with Shutterfly. Since then I have joined a startup in the Phoenix area and am thoroughly enjoying myself.
I do a lot of photography which I post on this website, but also on flickr. I have a photo-journalistic website which lists
the modernist and contemporary restaurants in phoenix. I have a site on the Australian Flying Corps [AFC] which has been around since the 1990s and which I unfortunately
lost the .org URL to during a life event; however, it is under the www.australianflyingcorps.com URL now.
The AFC website has gone through several iterations since the 90s and the two most recent are Australian Flying Corps Archives(2004-2002) and
Australian Flying Corps Archives(2002-1999) which are good places to start.
