>>>The Fort Wayne, Indiana, market has none of these.
You have some of them, or equivalents: - 24 hour weather - PBSkids - PBScreate - PBS4you (documentaries) - MyNetTV (reruns of various shows like Stargate, Monk, etc) - Smile of a Child (for kids) - JCTV (music videos)
It's a shame you don't get ThisTV or RetroTV. I'd certainly call my local television stations and request it. Both are excellent channels.

>>>Amend the constitution to strike "regulate commerce among the several States" from the Constitution.
I've never understood how the courts could be confused by this line? It clearly says AMONG the states. What happens inside the states is none of the US government's business. If I want to grow corn and sell it to my neighbors, I can. The only government which can regulate me is the State, not the central fucks in DCs
Wait until there's a Libertarian or libertarian-leaning or Constitutionalist president (i.e. not the last two presidents). Then shoot all 9 Justices. Or just the ones who believe the US has power to regulate INTRAstate commerce (it does not). Replace.
Or a less violent solution: Amend the constitution to strike "regulate interstate commerce" from the Constitution.
"The question whether the judges are invested with exclusive authority to decide on the constitutionality of a law has been heretofore a subject of consideration with me in the exercise of official duties. Certainly there is not a word in the Constitution which has given that power to them more than to the Executive or Legislative branches." --Thomas Jefferson to W. H. Torrance, 1815. ME 14:303
"But the Chief Justice says, 'There must be an ultimate arbiter somewhere.' True, there must; but does that prove it is either party? The ultimate arbiter is the people of the Union, assembled by their deputies in convention, at the call of Congress or of two-thirds of the States. Let them decide to which they mean to give an authority claimed by two of their organs." --Thomas Jefferson to William Johnson, 1823. ME 15:451
"But, you may ask, if the two departments [i.e., federal and state] should claim each the same subject of power, where is the common umpire to decide ultimately between them? In cases of little importance or urgency, the prudence of both parties will keep them aloof from the questionable ground; but if it can neither be avoided nor compromised, a convention of the States must be called to ascribe the doubtful power to that department which they may think best." --Thomas Jefferson to John Cartwright, 1824. ME 16:47
>>>The majority has opted for it when they voted for Obama..... If you don't like democracy
I don't like democracy. It's tyranny of the majority to squash the rights of the minority underfoot. Ask the japanese-Americans during the war what they thought of majority rule..... of course the answer is obvious. They were imprisoned, their homes/cash taken away, and their free speech squashed. Why? Because that's what the majority wanted when they voted for FDR.
Just because the majority wants something, does not make it moral or right.
It is against US Law for other companies to pick-up and deliver letters. .
>>>Schools - Excellent point.
Yes it is. Even if I attend a different private or home school, the government school still maintains a *monopoly* on the money. Just as I said in my original post - a monopoly. It's equivalent to me deciding I don't want Comcast TV anymore (prefer to use an antenna or internet), and yet I still have to send them $2000 a year. It's a monopoly on the money.
And the practical effect is that poor and middle income parents can not afford to attend a private school. They are literally trapped in a the drug-ridden, falling-down, shitty government school monopoly.
I guess I just imagined the slaughter on the DC Metro then? Or the two Amtrak trains that piled into one another? And you know what? Even if car deaths were 1/2 a million a year, I'd still prefer my car because the train station is a 30 minute walk through freezing rain and snow and sleet. I don't feel like dying of exposure - I feel like taking my car.
I have that right (freedom to travel w/o restriction, except at international borders).
I've seen quotes of the New revised books published online. They don't do any of that.
Minimizing the importance of the separation of church and state.
That was only ONE man's opinion. That is not what they actual law states, nor what the other ~5000 founding fathers believed. You overemphasize the importance by picking one man's opinion above the other ~10 million or so citizens that lived at the time of the Constitution's ratification.
The Guy who owned a website about a local mall, and had it yanked off the net because it has a similar name, but counter-sued and eventually rose all the way to the US Supreme Court..... he only spent 2 or 3 thousand out of pocket.
>>>To tie up a team of lawyers with a BS claim for years in court, or just pay it.
Well it's stupid. The violations appears to be images with underlying HTML links, but that technology has existed since the days of Netscape... possible as early as Mosaic. This company can not lay claim to somebody else's invention and/or prior art.
Here would be my response, tacked to the end of the letter: "blah blah blah... thank you, Lawyer for Webinvention, Esquirer Mr. Greedy Lawyer" " "Dear Sir: Go shove a giant dildo up your anus until your squeal like a bitchcow in heat. Stupid father-fucking son of a two-headed whore. (raises middle finger)"
The torrent would be a combination of Video plus Executable code, so every 10 minutes or so the Code would grab an advertisement off the net and make you watch it. That's basically how online video downloading works now, minus the P2P sharing. You're downloading video + exe in one stream.
>>>CNN, FX, Comedy Central, etc which are not broadcast over the air.
No but there are suitable substitutes available over-the-air. The only thing I miss is Syfy Channel but I can see that online for free, so what do I need cable for??? (LEGEND: cable channel -- free version available by satellite)
ABC/NBC/FOX/CW/ION/MyNetTV/etc -- free to air TWC -- local tv broadcasts weather 24/7 CNN -- Megahertz and Link offer almost nonstop news; ditto my local station AMC == ThisTV movie channel HIST== PBS, PBSarts, PBSworld, PBSinfo, MiND NIK == PBSkids, Qubo, Smile of a Child TVL == RetroTV FX/USA/TNT == these channels are mostly reruns of old shows, and on free antenna TV there are tons of channels airing reruns like Stargate Universe, Monk, The Closer, South Park, Entourage, and so on. .
>>>Amusingly, nearly all of the channels in question are available for free with an antenna in wonderful, never been re-encoded 720p/1080i HD.
False. When the TV station receives the signal from the national network, they re-encode the signal to fit inside a 19 Mbit/s datastream. Some stations barely change the signal at all, but others squeeze 3-5 channels in that stream, and the picture looks as bad as cable does. But you did get the "free" part correct.
The FCC mandated that all devices (including VCRs, DVRs, and Cable Boxes) would use Firewire to pass audiovideo data back and forth. The cable companies quickly-and-easily skirted around this ruling by simply not using Firewire. In order to maintain compliance they tell the FCC that Firewire is available per customer request, but th companies never provide these boxes.
I discovered this when my Firewire-equipped VCR, which can record HDTV, was unable to connect to Comcast's network even though they are supposed to be firewire-compliant. They're also not supposed to remove channels without 3 months prior notice, but Comcast yanked TCM off the air with only 0.5 months notice.
FCC regulations mean little when they are not enforced.
I don't know how to stop the government, other than by enforcing Amendment 10 (the US was never granted permission to spy, therefore it should not do it).
As for corporations, I'd like to see all their licenses revoked, and reverted to proprietorships where a sole person(s) is the owner and therefore directly accountable for his actions. I no longer believe in the concept of limited liability. The owners need to held to account for their actions, including jail time for invasion of privacy or abuse of customers/employees.
Because we a Republic (rule of law). That's what Julius Caesar tried to do, and it turned the Roman Republic into a dictatorship for the next ~500 years.
If the States want to abolish the central EU or US government, all they need to do is call a Constitutional Convention and dissolve it. They don't need a superhero.
Sorry never heard of it. I've also never heard of Star Drek Voyager or Buffy Season 7 or Star Wars Prequels, even though various persons have claimed they existed. (shrug) Maybe my Crap Perception Field prevents me from seeing them
But seriously: 10-2 is just 10 with a new mission package. Like Zelda Ocarina of Time Original versus the Remix. It's not a different game.
Before you go too far with your Pope bashing, he's probably just quoting scientists who discovered the same thing.
Various studies over the years have found the same parts of the brain "light up". The human neural net reacts to watching TV shows and movies as if they were real world events. .
From what I can see there's no risk in taking the Principal and his lackeys to court. Sure you might lose and waste a thousand or two on lawyers, but you'd also have the pleasure of watching the principal squirm in front of the judge. I would enjoy that immensely.
And if you won, well then it would set a precedent that would benefit other parents/students and their privacy rights too.
That's why some states have two different limits - one for "regular" travel and a second one for night/rain conditions.
Also a lot of times politicians overrule engineers. They will recommend travel at 85, but politicians will set it to 65 simply because that's the state law. There's no rationality to it.
The texts that existed in the past skipped major portions of US history, in order to create an anti-founding father slant (a bunch of rich people that killed blacks for fun).
The just-revised texts re-insert those missing events, mostly revolving around black patriots and attempts by the 1780s revolutionaries to create a colorblind society, back into the books. No the textbooks aren't perfect, but they are a hundred times better than what they looked like a year ago.

Don't know..... not that it matters. You can't plug a Firewire VCR or DVR to the cable, if Comcast doesn't provide it.
