Never seen that happen and I've been through two cancers and literally thousands of blood draws, just shy of a thousand IMs and a couple hundred IVs.
For the last 30 years, even before HIV, everyone wears gloves all the way through, from about 84-92 there was no skin on skin contact and since SARS no one touches you without sanitizing before and after gloves.
Only in Israel and Egypt did I see skin on skin touching like you are describing, I was at an IDF hospital and a civilian hospital and things were not up to US standards, thats for sure.
Take a dollar away from a rich man and he still has millions of dollars to fund a job.
Back when there wasn't a wide gap in salaries, yes raising personal income taxes on business owners could hampered job growth, but today the gap in executive salary vs worker salary is so wide that tax increases on the rich shouldn't impact jobs.
But it still does because the rich have gotten a "mine mine mine" mentality and hoard wealth now.
The highest personal income tax decade in the United States was also the decade of highest employment.
The highest Amish population county in the United States, Holmes County Ohio has a per capita income of $14,197 The county to the north of Holmes, which isn't largely Amish, has a per capita income of $18,330.
I bet American Jews, American Persians and Lebanese Americans are wealthier cultural groups with higher per capita incomes, just three off the top of my head.
You said "People want to downlplay Reagan, but when you think of all the bravado with the complete lack of military action that got results", all I did was point out that Reagan used military action to get results.
Stopping Soviet and Cuban agression in the Caribbean with Granada, pushing back at Libya in 81 and 86, pushing Iran to the peace talks with reflagging the tankers, Operation Preying Mantis and follow-on operations in 87-88 and attempting to stabilize Lebanon in 83, which lead to attacks on Syria in the Bekaa Valley.
I didn't say anything was more significant, but to say Reagan and Bush '41 didn't influence foreign policy with force of arms shows a deep ignorance of late Cold War history.
My wife tossed a kid yesterday for 3 days OSS because he dropped a pen cap in a turtle tank and administration asked if she wanted him gone for 5.
I went to public school in the poorest county in the United States for K-12, never felt threatened or that I was surrounded by sociopaths, criminals, and the insane.
Principals, especially principals of discipline are always eager to crack down on kids, there'll never be a shortage of control freak administrators willing to do a job like that, even for a pay cut.
As soon as schools start suing parents, watch school bond measures around the country fail.
School funding is in large part assisted by bond measures which must always pass a popular vote and it's been hard enough in the last 30 years to pass a school bond measure in the US.
As soon as Districts start going after parents they can all kiss their bonds good bye.
The US put troops into Lebanon that got over 250 killed, the US attacked Syrian military along with Shia and Druze militias in retaliation. The US fought with Libya in '81 and '86 The US was involved in a shooting war with Iran in '87 and '88 during the Tanker War And the US invaded Grenada in '83.
One can't compare foreign policy at the height of the Cold War when a false step could lead to nuclear war with post-Cold War foreign and military policy decisions.
Pretty much. Kill Hitler before 1937 and it would have delayed a war a few years. But not forever, Stalin was building up, France was building up, America was starting to build up, Japan was building up, Britain was building up, Italy was building up and Germany was building up.
Kill Hitler after 1942 and the new leadership would have let competent generals command without micromanagement.
Hitler didn't want an all out European War until 1946 at the earliest with 1950 being optimal, he didn't think taking Poland would kick off the war.
Who in the United States decides if a law is Constitutional?
The Courts and the final say is the United States Supreme Court, so show me where the Federal Courts have ruled ADA unconstitutional.
They decided that Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act was unconstitutional insofar as it allowed states to be sued by private citizens for money damages - I don't agree with that, but the rest of the Act wasn't ruled unconstitutional.
You don't get to just say "it's unconstitutional!" and have that stick.
It doesn't say "shouldn't expect limitations", it does say "can't be discriminated against", saying "I know this sounds very un-PC but damn, when you have a disability, deal with it, there are going to be some things closed off to you. You'll just have to do what you can." That's discrimination. Replace "you have a disability, deal with it with "you are black, deal with it" and you'll understand.
I've not seen the link saying that NFB is in Microsoft's pocket.
Just did a search on Slashdot for it, and looking over the last 30 stories about Open Document, I don't see anything about the National Federation of the Blind.
Didn't find it searching on google for national federation of the blind against open document.

I agree, that would work too.

I think Against a Dark Background, Matter or Player of Games would translate to the screen better.
You mean like James Cameron? He does some pretty good sci-fi and has a ton of money.
Terminator 1 & 2, Aliens, Abyss, End of Days, and Avatar
If the US hasn't ratified it, it's not a violation in the US.
Lincoln Administration actually, during the Civil War.
Then again under Wilson and Roosevelt and then since 1970 or so.
They did this in the BIA district I went too, vaccinations unless your parent/guardian provided records saying you already had it done.
As for no needles, if your kid is in the public school system your kid needs to be immunized.
Sounds like you went to a great school.

Because a phobia is a mental problem, not a criminal offense.
I'm trypanophobic, does that mean I should be prosecuted?

No, the main function of US school is to train drones to sit in a factory for 8 hours a day and work.
The US school system was designed to take rural kids and train them for the industrial future, unfortunately it never updated properly.

When did the United States Supreme Court rule ADA unconstitutional?
It hasn't, thus the ADA remains constitutional.
National Federation of the Blind in Computer Science is not the National Federation of the Blind.
Its a division of the NFB, but not the same thing, theres a division of crafters too.
This story is about the National Federation of the Blind, the two links you put in is the National Federation of the Blind in Computer Science.
Read the laws yourself.

So making sites that people can't access makes them batshit insane?
Personally I'd love to see websites all have to adhere to accessibility standards.

Yes, it's really outsourcing mail, cloud computing, calendaring, etc to Google.
Everything is on their servers, just like how gmail is.
The admins at the agency that has a Google account can manage everything, add users, manage users, etc, but it's all on Google's cloud
http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/cloud.html
They have it for students, K-12s (my old workplace went to Google Apps in 2006), higher ed, ed agencies and government.
