    Aye, the one where I went had this policy too. We had to type it in to login to the timesharing computer in the labs. The timesharing computer which ran Windows. Someone could have easily popped a flash-drive with a keylogger onto it for a few hours and no one would have known. JCs have terrible technical security.

    I see no reason why Ford can't be legally liable for handing over the keys to someone who didn't pass a vehicle test, or a parent can't be legally liable for loaning the keys to a teenager.

    I dunno about others, but when I purchased my car Honda made sure I had a valid license before selling it to me. Then again that doesn't mean it was legally required of them-maybe they just wanted to do it.

    Washington does (the state on the West coast, not the capitol). Oregon does too, as I recall, though in Oregon they require a written test.

    So you trust Google to handle your passwords, but not Facebook? I'm quite sure Chrome reports your usage data just as much as Facebook does.

    Often having no credit history is worse then having bad credit. If you have bad credit at least the companies checking you know that you're high risk to give money/service to. If you have none then they don't know, and that bothers them even more. An employer will wonder if maybe your identity is fake, since having a long credit history is probably the best way to show you are a real person.

    To be honest, the DMV doesn't force you to use their services. It's not mandatory for every citizen in the US to drive, or write checks. Yes, it's pretty damn useful, and a lot of jobs require it, but the DMV doesn't force anyone to get a license.

    Personally I agree with you. I believe in the end times and I understand the point you're trying to make. But all you're doing by posting this here is cementing the idea that religious people are crazy. We don't need more of that-there are enough crazy religious nuts damaging our image already.

    Note that the senator didn't say ban. He just said users should be allowed to flag blog posts. Then again the next step probably IS to censor them....

    Well honestly when a Senator asks for something, it's not "oh hey and would you mind doing this?", its "oh hey you should do this or else we'll force through a law forcing you to do it anyway".

    No, it's not. The text you are referencing, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" is in fact in the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution. The Constitution is supposed to be built around these principles, but the text you describe does not appear anywhere in it.
