"(P) On and after the first federal election that occurs after January 1, 2006, unless required sooner by the Help America Vote Act of 2002, if the voting machine is a direct recording electronic voting machine, it shall include a voter verified paper audit trail." OH ST 3506.10.
So, all voting machines in Ohio starting with November 7th, 2006 will have to have verifiable paper trails.
You can construe Gorman's statement to either mean that all bloggers are unpublishable, or to mean that his statements only refer to those bloggers who are unpublishable. I doubt he would resort to such a rash generalization knowing full well that many well known authors and academics make use of blogs, so the latter construction is probably the appropriate one.
What they write in their diary is no indication of how much reading they do, how good they are at writing, or their level of education.
What you write, no matter where it is written, is a very good indication of all of these things you mention.
How do you come to the alternative conclusion that you are not the sum of all that you have read, written and learned, and your writings, no matter how trivial they may seem, are the outward reflection of that sum?
When librarians become facists? I was under the impression they have always been the anti-facists, standing up for freedom of speech and press and free access to information at all costs.
When you're funded by taxes, it's very easy to make yourself the only feasible choice. So while they might be "competing," if they're using tax money for it, you might as well kick the competition out of town.
Local government is elected. If you don't like what they're doing, elect someone else. So while you might be trading one monopoly for another, with local government running the show, the voters are the board of directors.
The point is that their advertising that there are no more late fees is pretty misleading. In fact, there is a huge late fee equal to the price of the item after a certain point.
When compared to something like Netflicks where you get to keep the dvd for as long as you want, it is understandable how that can be confusing.
If you know what specific group the person comes from, then by all means you can refer to them as that (i.e. Miami); however, as a result of referring to them as "Indians" for such a long period of time the name has pretty much become adopted by them. "Aboriginal" means that they would have always been here, which we know not to be true either. In fact, there is evidence that there were people here before them with little to no genetic relations.
By the way, an American from India would be an Indian-American.
My fiancee is an anthropologist and works in an American Indian museum, and I can assure you that the current accepted term for them is American Indian. They prefer the title mostly because "Native American," tends to imply something less than civilized, an image they would prefer to do away with.
Sales taxes can be levied by your home state, regardless of whether the transaction is interstate, if the state of purchase does not levy its own sales tax. (Example is PA-DE - no sales tax in DE, so PA can tax things you drive to DE to buy to avoid sales tax)
More of a semantics issue, but it's not a sales tax, it's a use tax. One state cannot tax a sale that takes place in another state, but they can tax the use of the item bought once it re-enters their borders.
All States are suffering because the feds have cut their funds.
Taxes like this have been around for at least 100 years. (I found a Supreme Court case dealing with the issue from 1904).
States have always been greedy, it's nothing new. Also, most states already tax anything that is bought in another state and brought into the state for use.
Read over your state tax form a little more carefully this year.
The use taxes in most states apply to all purchases, not just alcohol and cigarettes (some provide exemptions for vehicles or other things). Usually if you paid tax in the state where you bought it, you don't pay again in your home state. The reason it is allowed is because it is a tax on the "use" of the item, not the sale of the item. Therefore, the state isn't stretching over its jurisdiction, because it is only taxing that which is used in its state that was not already taxed with a sales tax.
A good number of states also prohibit the importation of alcohol to the state without certain licenses. I wouldn't be surprised to see something similar happen with tobacco products.
One of the reasons for ditching the Articles of Confederation was that it didn't give the federal government any power to regulate interstate commerce, so you had serious issues with states in that respect.
The federal government (through Congress) now has the power to "To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes." U.S. Const. Art. 1 Sec. 8.
As far as the instance at hand here, most states have had use taxes on out of state purchases for quite some time. I would be surprised if it had not already been challenged and upheld.
I located this page which provides some good information on the details of Florida's use tax on out-of-state purchases.
Most states don't bother to pursue collecting these taxes because the cost to collect is much greater than the benefit of the tax they receive.
Your premise that public schools provide no education needs some support before you continue to base your argument on it. I'll be waiting.
If you are claiming that public schools do not provide the same level of education as private schools, while that may be true, that doesn't make them useless. Some education is better than none. Unless you'd prefer to revert back to a time when the educated told the uneducated what to do and think and they had no choice because they were not allowed to be educated.
If the parents don't like what the principal did they can elect a new school board. Or does that interfere with your tirade about the evils of socialism?

Nowadays, you are not involved in any of this process.
You offered them the information in the first place.
If someone wants to record information about you, they should contact *YOUR* computer and store it there.
Because no one has spyware on their computer.

The awards were not given based on the content of their blog.
Your argument makes no sense.

A lot less in the way of the signal when you're in the sky.
I tried "1 speeding bullet to mph" on Google, but it wasn't able to do the conversion. They really need to update that.
Not only that, but the editor that RTFA was TIMOTHY of all people.
I've already duct tapes all windows and doors in my apartment.

The DMV is a product of state government, not local governments.
Local governments tend to be ran fairly well, because they operate on very limited budgets.
Local government is elected. If you don't like what they're doing, elect someone else. So while you might be trading one monopoly for another, with local government running the show, the voters are the board of directors.

It's been argued in the federal courts for at least 100 years and has yet to be overturned. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Unless you'd prefer to revert back to a time when the educated told the uneducated what to do and think and they had no choice because they were not allowed to be educated.
The alternative proposed is the abolition of public education, which means that those who cannot afford a "decent education" will get none at all.
So only those who can afford an education will be able to get one?
And so the perpetual cycle of the poor getting poorer and the rich getting richer will continue.
