Nothing short of a nuke will bring it down I PROMISE YOU
Even assuming the best and brightest create and maintain the dam, and the most deep pocketed financed its construction and its continued maintenance, there are thousands of easily identifiable (by the government) points of failure in such a construction. Play a bridge building game if you want a simple and interactive example of why/how points of failure and the entire idea of structural integrity is a fine balance.

I'm sure that somewhere our government has plans for multiple ways to destroy the dam with only a few missiles and a previously rainy season, or other things. Its not only just about how you do it, but when you do it, etc etc.

A bridge and a dam are two completely different types of structure. You can’t just target a single point or even a set of points and collapse a dam. That’s not how they work.
 
In other words, the only people who ever get elected into office. If you want to see how competently our government handles media regulation, just look at Jack Thompson, Joe Lieberman, or the entire history of network television.
They did a pretty good job of keeping porn off public television.
 
Souter officially dead.

Here we go boys. Another Supreme Court nomination fight!

*edit* yeah yeah, I am showing my age and lack caffeine in the morning.
Souter was retired, but only a couple years ago I learned he worked a Federal Appeals Court for funsies for years after his retirement and still had an office in the Supreme Court.
 
I did this sorta shit for years and it's tiresome at this point. I'm not young man anymore.
Mr. Number is your friend.
I got it because I wanted to block all numbers coming from a Canadian area code - was getting like 5 per day at one point.
This app allows area code blocking :)
All suspected spam calls don't even ring to my phone, straight to spam and blocked. Same with text messages. You still have the option to see/read them.
I haven't had one spam call make it through since I got it and it's like $9 a year. Well worth it imo.
