It's representative democracy - it's how it works.
Note that between the law being passed and it being defended in the supreme court there was an election. It the people gave a shit they would have made that clear and it would have been dropped before making it all that way.
But the voters didn't care. Now they get to foot the bill all 5c per CA resident.
Generally if someone is a "scientist" you can assume a few things:
1. They are as sure as can be that the diversity of life on Earth is the result of evolution driven by natural selection. 2. They are not quite are sure as that but pretty damn confident that General Relative gets it mostly right. 3. Less confident still but still more confident than they are that Obama won't do a naked dance in front of Congress tomorrow that carbon dioxide production by people is a significant factor in causing global warming.
Of course there are exceptions, but you would assume the above unless otherwise was stated.
You are supposed to print the child's name and then sign it yourself with either "(father)" or "(mother)" after the signature.
Congrats to the retard though, they've just invalidated the passport. Though of course since the parent didn't bother reading the very clear instructions I guess that's fair enough.
That might be your ideal, but reality is the exact opposite.
You can't be denied a passport in order to return the the US. You can be denied a passport in order to leave.
It's a specific exemption on the criteria to deny a passport (22 C.F.R. S 51.70):
A passport, except for direct return to the United States, shall not be issued in any case in which the Secretary of State determines or is informed by competent authority that: [list of criteria to deny a passport]
"To have a passport is privilege, it's not entitled to you by citizenship," Priest said
The law disagrees completely - http://law.justia.com/cfr/title22/22-1.0.1.6.33.5.5.1.html. Note there are grounds for denying a passport, but there are also grounds for puttting you in prison - that doesn't mean not being in prison is a priviledge.
Or if you prefer statements made to the public of how the government interpretes the law:
Every United States citizen is entitled to a U.S. passport provided that they, or an adult acting on a child's behalf, comply with all applicable requirements, and that there is no statutory or regulatory reason to deny the passport.
Sure. But I also saw Star Wars and didn't consider the Empire blowing up the Earth with a Death Star as being presented as a realistic scenario either.
So what happens to the heat generated by your laser weapons and engines and life support?
Oh yes it cooks you. Unless you expose your heat radiators at which point they get shot off and you cook anyway.
The world's most boring war battle environment. No stealth since everything is hot and stands out against the cold background. Shooting your lasers at the other guys laser lenses. Until one of you runs out of heat sink and cooks.
Why would there be anything? The idea of faking such a thing is to not include anything which can't be verified with other sources.
You either take a real exsiting memo, or you make one up wholesale using all the other sources to get the information from. Then you add the bit you want to fake.
In this case:
His effort will focus on providing curriculum that shows that the topic of climate change is controversial and uncertain - two key points that are effective at dissuading teachers from teaching science. We tentatively plan to pay Dr. Wojick $100,000 for 20 modules in 2012, with funding pledged by the Anonymous Donor.
Yes other documents cover the facts their -"$5,000 per module, about $25,000 a quarter" works out as $100,000 and 20 modules (though the verified source does say stating in Q2 2012 which the above seems to contradict).
But "dissuading teachers from teaching science" seems out of place and isn't verifiable in any of the other sources.
If they copy paste and make a typo then that's their tough luck. Surely that can't happen that often - both being stupid enough to copy-n-paste an obvious typo check and smart enough to know how to copy-n-paste...
They're also going to have trouble shipping you what you ordered if you don't give them your shipping address too. I take it you also want that to be embedded into your openid as well?
A round about is just a one way street with side streets branching off all on the right, curved to the left into a small circle. (reverse left and right if in a location that drives on the left side of the road.)
Do these people have trouble with non-curved one way streets too?
No they didn't, in fact they increased their holdings significnantly (by almost 20%) in 2011 - almost taking back the top holder spot from China (China held 5% more) at the end of the year.
But don't let facts get in the way of your fantasies about the financial condition of Japan. Of course better to pick facts that aren't quite so published.
Why would that matter in the slightest? We already have exchange rates.
Numerous countries have removed done such things in the past - it's a sure sign that hyper-inflation has kicked in and people are getting sick of having to carry several kilograms of paper currency in order to buy lunch.
In which case you pay $10.75 (if you pay with cash).
The penny is currently worth less (in terms of what it can buy) than the half-cent was when it was junked in 1857, it's worse than useless at the moment.
So basically take the "let's put up defenses against the things they've already done" approach even further. Since they attacked us with box cutters on planes, ban box cutters on planes. Since someone tried to hide a bomb in their shoe, put shoes through the x-ray machine. Since they were men, just check the men.
Because it'd be really hard to find a female to get the stuff past security and then pass it to the male terrorists to do the deed. That way you don't expose or kill the woman and so they can do it again (hence you need fewer) - assuming you can make the trade out of the view of cameras, which very well may not be possible in an airport...
Profiling will work if you can go to extremes - see Israel's methods. It doesn't work when the sheer volume not to mention the legallity make that impossible - all you do is give the bad guys something to match to not get the harder security.
You even mentioned "currently" - the issue is you don't know when it has changed. And implementing the profiling will likely make it change faster.

There's pretty big overlap between those tax payers and the people who can vote in state elections. So that seems reasonably fair in the end.
To be fair there are some issues with the order of things as well. Then again if you are losing the literal sense that shouldn't be hard to deal with.
Of course evolution doesn't make claims about those things way outside it's scope - it leaves them to physics.
But obviously you can hold whatever beliefs you want, it only becomes an issue with science when people try and force science to fit those beliefs.

Heck it uses the word "entitled"!
They expected the hunters to shoot at their RC helicopter. As you say, unsurprisingly they got what they wanted.
Sure. But I also saw Star Wars and didn't consider the Empire blowing up the Earth with a Death Star as being presented as a realistic scenario either.

Clearly you didn't read it, or you can't read.
Since it had such a jab...
The USSR invading America was never the scenario in the first place.
The USSR invalding Western Europe was the scenario.

You get your hands on a real memo, then you add stuff to it. Is that really so hard to comprehend?
You don't make them enter it twice?
And what again what happens when they mistype their shipping address too?
By asking for your email address as well?
They're also going to have trouble shipping you what you ordered if you don't give them your shipping address too. I take it you also want that to be embedded into your openid as well?

Which is different from the current system of:
Poor Kids: Go to the public schools servicing the poorer areas they live in.
Middle Class Kids: Go to the public schools servicing the not so poor areas they live in.
Rich Kids: Go to a private school, unless the local public school happens to be very good in which case they might slum it with the middle class kids.
No, you'd be better of not getting vaccinated but making sure everyone else is.

But lots of other parts are copyrightable. Such as some of the graphics and sounds.
The dream heights/tiny tower was an obvious copy of the gameplay. But the graphics were completely different. And you are alllowed to do that.
These ones look much closer to copying of elements like art, which you aren't allowed to do.
Of course once you introduce patents gameplay might end up protected - but I don't believe that's applicable in either of the cases.
