The UK high court has finally ruled on the extradition of Lauri Love, the Finnish-British student accused of cracking U.S. government websites. He will not be extradited to face trial in America. The court accepted both of the main arguments that there is no reason he cannot not be tried in England and that he might suffer serious damage to his health if he were extradited.

    > For starters, I don't recognize any lord of anything, not even the lordy-dude who made this decision.

    You do realise that Lord Chief Justice is an appointed position? In the same vein, the Prime Minister is "First Lord of the Treasury".

    What I may or may not realize about appointed positions has no bearing on my contempt for the use of the word. I recognize only one Lord, and he would be the Lord of Creation. And, I have my doubts about him sometimes.

      Think of it this way, in the UK (and somewhat in Aus and Canada as well) the word lord in an appointed position is not religious, it actually means that there is no superior position in that organisation.
      The "lord blah blah of whoop-de-doo" may be overruled by parliament, or in some cases by the monarch, but otherwise is in charge of that organisation.

      Okay no problem. Just don't go eating any Pasta for I only recognize one Pasta and he would be the Pasta of creation. Spaghetti is right out.
