Robot Hall of Fame 2004 Inductees Announced
generic-man writes "According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Carnegie Mellon University has announced this year's inductees for the Robot Hall of Fame. On October 11, the Hall welcomes Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet, Astroboy, C3PO, Honda's ASIMO, and a 'pioneering mobile robot called Shakey.' They join R2D2. the Mars Pathfinder rover, and other robots from the class of 2003."
From the article linked:
If you commit a felony in Florida, you lose your right to vote there, and you're "scrubbed" from the rolls. You become a non-citizen, like in the old Soviet Union. This is not the case in most other states; it's an uncivilized vestige of the Deep South.
It's curious that another state, New York suffers from the same "uncivilized vestige of the Deep South".
Who is "Greg Plast" and why should we listen to him? A simple search turns up this page which lists all the US states, and if anyone takes the time to read it instead of hammering out more communists bulletins for their leftist anti-US readers, they will see that almost all US states take away felons voting rights while in prison or on parole.
Florida/Old South/Soviet Union ??? This guy is hogwash.
