Data Quality Act
The New York Times has a heads-up about a little-noticed add-on to a massive appropriations bill, signed into law by Clinton but taking effect in October. The amendment allows anyone to challenge data published by the Federal government and have it changed or deleted. The main proponents of the law are pro-business groups seeking to tie up environmental and similar regulations by challenging the government's data.
I just bought a brand new system with 512 mb ram and a AMD athalon XP 2300+ and decided to install linux on it
So i downloaded the latest 2.5.20 kernel and my system was fucked. Linuxx still has no support for more than 640k of RAM or pci modems. I had to spend ober three hours fscking my hard drive thanks to the obsolete ext file system that it used.
My sytem was rubbish, the Gnome desktop was butt ugly and my eyes were BLEEDING I had no choice but to install windows XP which is a modern OS which is designed FOR A MODERN computer.
And you wouldn't believe what happened when I tried GNU hURD OS 0.2, It rendered my computer almost useless!
... but I only get a form that asks too much of personal data for my taste.
except its marked as informative, you dip shit

Its a goatse link for sure, any moron can look at the url and see
I agree. The off topic mod on this insightful post was uncalled for.
These substances are dangerous, and brain damaging. Unless you read propaganda by the pushers and others who profit from drug abuse.
What you wish for won't happen, the facts just don't favor drug abuse. The lies of the pushers have been out there for evaluation for years. No one cares. Not because there is a cover up, but because the pro-abuse side is laughable.
Want to stop the "Drug Warriors" from harassing you? Stop abusing drugs.
The vast majority of respectable research demonstrates that the harm caused by drug use is far less than the government
Who cares what the government thinks. Why not instead listen to what real health groups say?
I could have sworn it was 47% of statistics that were made up
Could have been, I just made the statistic up anyway.
As x approaches total apathy I couldn't care less.
So the way to make things better is to increase abuse of drugs other than alcohol?
Why is it people can be "trusted" with a 20 oz. bottole of JD in the car
Bzzt. there are open container laws.
but an ounce of weed is a federal offence?
Which federal law is this? Last time I knew, it was a local crime, not a federal one.
Way off topic....
