1) What exactly is objectionable within the UNCRC?
The stated objectives are very good and noble ideas. The objectional part is the extent that this treaty could be abused by the government. It gives unelected social workers unchecked authority to second-guess any parental decision. The best measure of a law is not how much good it could do if properly implemented, but how much harm it could cause if abused.
"States rights" is pretty much the cry of the party who's losing in Washington. Very few people actually believe in it as a theory to be applied universally, and frankly they're not making the law.
Pretty much every libertarian since Thomas Jefferson has argued for this to be applied universally. If they were making the laws, then we wouldn't be in this mess we're in right now.
A distribution could be based on Gentoo without using portage.
Red Hat, for example could create a "RHEL profile" and specify exact versions and USE flags of the packages. Their servers could build the binary packages and distribute them just like RPMs
The end users would never know the difference.
The advantage is that vendors would pool resources for bug fixes and dependency tracking.
If you're so smart, you should have realized that all you're being asked to do is go through the motions
At one time in this country, people became adult members of the community at about age 12-15. They married, started a family and took on greater personal responsibility than most people ever do now.
In what way has extending childhood made our society better?
Hell, I was extremely interested in math and science and even philosophy when I was a teenager, and I was in a school system that was considered one of the best in the country. Still, I almost dropped out because schools-- at least the schools I went to-- position themselves against learning, against curiosity, and against discussion. It was all about authority and power, and someone who was genuinely interested in the topic rather than interested in the grades was a "problem" to them.
The modern public school system was designed that way.

Not to mention that factories are not run that way any more.
Why would anyone trust critical internet infrastructure to a piece of software that averages a security flaw every decade?
Real admins stick to a proven solution such as Bind.
How exactly does someone get that image on the first page of the results?
Oh well. Here's the antidote.
The "child's best interests" is too broad and contains too much potential for government abuse.
Our current laws already outlaw child abuse. The only thing this treaty would accomplish is to give the state complete control over child rearing.

At least in Oklahoma, this bill passed the House 97-3 last year, but the democrats in the Senate would not bring it to the floor for a vote.
Unless you are claiming that 97% of the representatives in the Oklahoma legislature are nutjobs, in which case you have a point.
It really pisses me off that the NWO tinfoil hat people are looking less and less crazy all the time
Possibly the worst will be removing all parental rights.
Speaking of the 10th amendment, why have 7 state legislatures introduced declarations of sovereignty in the last few weeks?

If other distros were inclined to, it would be possible to turn Gentoo into a superset of all the other distributions.
Each distribution would have its own profile and binary package mirror
Chances of this happening however...

We could also cure breast cancer by performing preemptive mastectomies.

You can use inconel. Most reactors use a lot of that anyway. The only reason it isn't used exclusively is because of cost.
The link was intentional. My meaning was that perhaps there is a simple explanation for "every other country in the world" besides the literal one.
The recent jump in spelling errors in my posts I attribute to lack of sleep caused by the second full-time job.

no, but Bennigan's accepts coupons
They just ran out of money, that's all.
Did you know that there are people who a step (or two, or three...) past that?
Not only that, but you shouldn't.
