Pot, meet kettle.

Special person, meet me.

From my experience, having lived in 9 other states from one end of the country to the other, that's pretty much the way it works everywhere.
 
Well, you're very special to have lived in 10 states and therefore safely deduce ten are like fifty and call people names.

But maybe all fifty aren't like ten.:

In Colorado you can throw it in the trash...

#Mix the liquid with kitty litter or other clay-based absorbent in a plastic tray or bucket until the absorbent is moist, but not dripping.

#Set the mixture outdoors in a well-ventilated area away from potential ignition sources, children and pets. Allow to dry. If you have additional liquid, this procedure can be repeated reusing the dried absorbent. Never reuse the same absorbent for more than one type of ignitable liquid waste, however.

#Double-wrap the dried absorbent in trash bags and put it in the trash.

#The empty cans or containers that the product came in can also be placed in the trash.

You claim that "most" hunters violate Colorado state law requiring all edible meat from game animals be prepared for human consumption (see Article XI section 020.D.1). That is insulating to all license holders in this state.

First off, which stadium? Only those in the denver region are taxed for the diaghram or Coors.

The boundaries of the RTD/CD/FD [FD = "Metropolitan Football Stadium District"] include the counties of Denver, Boulder, Jefferson, Adams (west of Box Elder Creek), Arapahoe (south of I-70, west of Picadilly Rd. to Jewell, then west of Gun Club Rd. to Quincy, then generally west of Monaghan Rd., including Arapahoe Park and Aurora Reservoir), and Douglas (northeast portion plus Highlands Ranch area).

The following items are not permitted into the stadium:

* Hard-sided containers of any size or style including hard-sided coolers or thermoses.
* Bags or containers larger than 12" x 12" x 12"
* Alcohol
* Glass bottles or cans
* Previously opened plastic bottles. This includes water bottles or Nalgene bottles.
* Firearms or weapons of any type
* Artificial noise makers
* Signs or flags on sticks, regardless of the length
* Large golf umbrellas
* Laser pointers of any type
* Any other item deemed dangerous or unacceptable by security

Alright, I'm going to have to pull an IANAL, but clearly neither are you. First of all, I believe incorporation normally requires a flat fee around a hundred dollars to file the form, so it's not entirely painless to make another company. Secondly, this sounds questionable as far as taxes go. The company would be making profits from these contracts, so there would be corporate taxes on that. Then the company would be paying those profits to its sole worker, CEO, and shareholder who would then have to pay income tax. That sounds a bit to me like having to pay taxes twice. Taxes are complicated so I won't pretend to know if this is the case, but I'd want to know for sure before I spent a year potentially not paying taxes. And I believe that simply disolving the company might be an issue. Granted, I don't know contract law entirely, but at least as far as bankruptcies go, the courts require that as a company goes under, it treats its various creditors fairly, so one creditor doesn't get a sweetheart deal, and all of the others get nothing. Well, if your company is folding, disregarding its contractual obligations to its former clients, and yet giving its last assets to a single employee, it sounds imbalanced to me. I would wager at least some of the recent earnings of the company would be at risk. But if you're using a single company as your face for all of your clients, that could mean all of your income for the last couple of months getting taken away, let alone the attorney fees and court costs. Perhaps keep a bunch of separate corporations, one for each client? This all seems rather crazy.

Now, I could be off my rocker on this one. But I know that, no matter how out of it I was, I'd make sure to spend the extra few hundred on a lawyer who was a bit more sane if this were me. After all, I'm already paying that much just to file for my dozens of shell corporations.

Making legal decisions based on scripture is a thorny issue... you'd probably be interested in this Colorado supreme court decision about the influence of the bible on a death penalty case (see here for news article and here for the court's opinion). I personally agree with the two dissenting justices, that the bible is a valid part of the individual person's moral code. Obviously, some would disagree on this issue - but it's an interesting subject for debate nonetheless.

It's been my personal experience that the most stereotypically "fundamental" Christians spend very little time reading the bible. Instead, they seem to feed off this warped socially conservative culture that has developed in American society. Jesus said that "the traditions of men nullify the word of God"... meaning that bad things happen when people supplant the actual word of God with their personal social or cultural traditions.

Most of what is labeled as "Christianity" in our modern culture simply isn't. I encourage you to look past all the goofy Jerry Falwell conservative stereotypes, and read the bible with a fresh perspective.

Read the book of 1st John in the new testament, and if you like that read the gospel of John. Those two books should give you a good understanding of what Christianity is all about, straight from the horse's mouth.

Just did some quick googling...

Do you live in Colorado by chance? I do, and my wife is going to school to get her teaching license. She, and all of her peers in school, are absolutely livid about the CSAP program. CSAP basically does exactly what you described. Each year students take a standardized test, then schools receive funding based on scores. The idea is to motivate schools to do better so that they get more money. It's completely retarded, instead the inner-city schools that need money don't get any. Furthermore, teachers are forced to teach specifically to address the content of the test. Since the CSAP tests don't contain science (yet, it's coming apparently), the students don't learn science.

It's a damn shame, I just hope that CSAP is gone by the time I have children.

Yeah, a lot of the info, camera snapshots, etc gets posted to the web. Most of is linked from the COTRIP page (Colorado Transportation Resource and Information Partnership). You can also check out the links from CDOT's main page. Part of the project was to deploy web-based information kiosks to places like DIA.

Of course the cool stuff -- like live video feeds from the cameras and remote controls for the ones that can pan, tilt and zoom, or to reprogram the signs -- is of course restricted to the operations center (or the backup center that Lockheed maintains).

Is this supposed to be surprising or something?

House Bill 03-1303

So, you have to, with "intent to harm or defraud," "[use] a communication service without""obtaining the authorization of the provider; or making a payment to the provider in the amount normally charged by the provider for the service; or tampers with, modifies, or maintains a modification to a communication device provided by or installed by the provider."

Well, bully for Texas. I've read Colorado's bill, and it doesn't contain that language. It says, as best as I can tell, that if you don't have permission to use such technologies from your service provider, you can go to jail.

Here's the link to Colorado's bill; please tell me I'm wrong (PDF format):

House Bill 1303

As a colorado resident that recieves more than 100 unsolicited emails per day, I'd have to say that this is a godsend.

the actual bill link is here.

Although it says we have to hunt down the spammers and take them to court for the $10 per message, for those of us that are willing to go through the trouble, that's like, over a hundred bucks a day!

It's better than having a full time job! I love it!

Wired's link doesn't work, you have to search..here's Colorado's proposed law in .pdf format.

In an effort to combat shoplifting the state legislature passed a law that basically makes it a misdemeanor for you to "POSSESS A THEFT DETECTION SHIELDING DEVICE..." (read aluminum foil underwear or Deflector Beanie)

Our duly elected represenatives go on to define them as" "...INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, ANY LAMINATED OR COATED SACK OR CONTAINER THAT IS CAPABLE OF AVOIDING DETECTION BY A THEFT DETECTION DEVICE."

why does it look like these state do-not-call lists all require residents to pay a fee to be listed?

Haven't done any research on other calling lists, but in my state, Colorado, the Colorado No Call List [2] is completely free. Further, the cost to run it, apparently came out pretty low. It was bid at about $42,000 per year by one company. Considering some 750,000 people signed up for it, in the past year alone, if each even paid a quarter, the cost to maintain the list would be easily covered.

I believe any higher cost would have to be justified in a sort of "total cost to the state" for lost revenues from workers for the telemarketers, resulting sales to both the telemarketers and telemarketed, and resulting tax revenue. Even then, I can't see a reasonable cost exceeding $1.

You should read the court's opinion it gives a decent background and also explains why the first admendment argument is anything but weak.

The upside of doing your homework is that you don't make embarassing statements like but saying that anonymity is required for true freedom of speech seems a tenuous link at best. As long as you're protected from being censored or censured for your opinions, I fail to see how anonymity is a legitimate requirement for free speech.

No. 01SA205, Tattered Cover, Inc. v. City of Thornton: Freedom of speech -- First Amendment -- Colorado Constitution, Article II, Section 10 -- search warrants - booksellers -- customer book purchase records -- adversarial hearings

This case involves an attempt by law enforcement officials to use a search warrant to gain access to the book-buying records of a suspected criminal. The petitioner, an innocent, third-party bookseller, asserts its own and its customers' First Amendment and Article II, Section 10 rights.

The Supreme Court recognizes that both the United States and Colorado Constitutions protect the rights of the general public to purchase books anonymously, without governmental interference. As such, any law enforcement attempt to use a search warrant to discover which books that a customer has purchased from a bookstore implicates fundamental rights.

The Supreme Court holds that the Colorado Constitution requires law enforcement officials to show a need for the specific customer purchase record sought that is sufficiently compelling to outweigh the harm likely caused to constitutional interests by execution of the search. The search warrant will issue only if this test, which is to be applied at a pre-seizure adversarial hearing, is met.

Applying this balancing test, the Supreme Court concludes that the law enforcement need for the book purchase record in this case was not sufficiently compelling to outweigh the harm that would likely follow from execution of the search warrant, in part because law enforcement officials sought the purchase record for reasons related to the contents of the books that the suspect may have purchased.

No. Justice bender is a he. here is his bio.

Try reading the Court's statement-- they explain everything in excruciating detail. This sort of background reading can be very informative and legal documents are not that inscrutable.

Read the statement of the Court: Thus, we conclude that the City has failed to demonstrate that its need for the Tattered Cover's customer purchase record is sufficiently compelling to outweigh the harm that would be caused to constitutional interests if the search warrant were executed. They mean first amendment interests, freedom of speech and the press. Your opinion on whether or not Tattered Cover is right is apparently superceded by the CO Supreme Court. Fortunately they seem to believe that anonymity in book purchasing underlies these free speech rights.

So IF they didn't request it, AND IF the products were sent through the USPS, THEN the products are theirs.

Unfortunately AOL avoids USPS regulations by using UPS instead.

However, that is not likely to save them, legally.

Supposedly, the Uniform Commercial Code Section 2 contains that rule, according to a previous poster, but I wasn't able to find the section in question. However, many states in the US do have such rules (see this Colorodo law for instance) as do many foreign countries that AOL does business in (Australia, for instance) and I am fairly sure this is the case at the federal level too, even if I can't find the relevant statute at the moment.

The problem, of course, is that AOL will claim that the shipment was solicited, and thus that their claim is correct, and they have the lawyers, credit card companies, credit reporting agencies, etc. behind them, so short of a class action suit like this the average Joe has very little chance of asserting his rights successfully against them.

I was unaware of the 1992 Supreme Court ruling that seems to make such laws pointless; that ruling says that businesses can only collect state sales/use tax if they have a tangible presence in the state, like a store or factory.

The whole thing is a mess, as unenforceable laws are hardly laws at all, and the lost revenue for states is not a tiny issue.

In the UK, we're still catching up with the US!

From what I can tell, this isn't a public school. Ridgeview "Classical" has a Mission Statement, .com address, and a fairly strict Dress Code, which includes "clean, neat, traditionally styled hair" with no wild colors, and shirts without any visible collarbone or logos of any kind.

Ridgeview Classical is a Charter School, which is a kind of alternative public school authorized by statute in Colorado.

So, there are no adverse affects to humans from herbicides and pesticides at all? Is that your claim? If I look at a package of pesticide it won't have any warnings on it because it isn't toxic right? You should perhaps read up a little bit on the history of the industry. The current chemical-oriented focus in farming is actually a biproduct of the military buildup of WWII and after. Factories which had produced explosives for bombs during WWII converted to producing nitrogen-based fertilizer after the war. The compounds are remarkably similar. A lot of pesticides are related to chemical warfare compounds. Don't believe me? Here's a link documenting which pesticides the FBI belives to be most likely to be used by a terrorist in a chemical warfare attack: FBI contacts for suspicious pesticide/OP nerve gas incidents Or perhaps this article in which the Pentagon claims the level of sarin gas troops were exposed to in the Persian Gulf is safe because it's below the limit established for pesticide workers? Pentagon notifying 100,000 soldiers of possible nerve gas exposure? Or perhaps when CNN simply says Pesticide similar to nerve gas you will be convinced?

So, you can claim I am overreacting by calling herbicide and pesticdes poisons. But, in fact, it is you who is underreacting.

Giving the example of penicillin isn't the best either. After all, it is a controlled substance which you can only obtain upon the recommendation of an expert. And he can only give you permission to use it because it has been thru years of extensive testing to determine safe ways to use it. As soon as biotech firms sign up to have their GMO's tested as extensively as penicillin has been, I'll stop worrying so much about it.

Well, sorta...

If the State of Colorado would give up its domain space like the Kingdom of Tonga (*.to) did, we'd have *.co.us like *.co.uk.

Man, isn't anyone here old enough to remember schoolhouse rock? This isn't a law, it's just a law-to-be. Which means, for you that live in CO, you should read the bill and let your rep know what you think.

(Even you young 'uns should remember the simpsons episode: "I'm an amendment-to-be, yes an amendment to be..." child:"But couldn't we just pass a law against those dirty hippies burning the flag?" amendment:"Actually, the constitution forbids that. But if we change the constitution..." child:"We can pass any crazy law we want! Hooray!")
