In which universe does that happen? Seriously - which playgrounds charge for tetherball? Your comment is misguided.
It sounds like you're trying to explain a fairground, where some games have to be paid for. Do you take your kids to the fairground and say "everything is free!"?
In the Land Of The Free(tm) shouldn't the suit proceeding be a right? In other words, it's a free for all unless the government is *allowed* to step in on a case?

isn't the month often more relevant than the day of month when conveying information?
No. Seeing as we're right in the middle of the month it's a bit redundant to refer to tomorrow as "March 15th". Tomorrow is most easily communicated as "The 15th" (day of March).
If I were to say "The 15th..." you'd have only 12 options, whereas "March..." has 31 options. So I put it to you that the date is more important than the month.
You could be in your own yard but if the photographer is on the street a photo of you as well as posting it anywhere the photographer wants is entirely fair game.
That depends on where your yard is. Jurisdiction is very important - if your yard is in France, then the law is on your side. In France, you cannot publish photos of somewhere private without the owner's permission, regardless of whether you yourself are in a public place.
Obviously, all these branches except SCOTUS are directly voted in by the people.
Not true. POTUS is not directly voted in by the people. POTUS is voted in by the States, using electoral colleges, who are under no obligation to vote the way their own citizens have requested.
Couldn't the employer he was talking about in his post claim the exact same thing?
No. She has many students, but only one employer. It's a certainty who she'd be referring to by "my employer", but enough plausible deniability when referring to "one of my students".

And vacation photography. Bollocks to getting the expressed written consent of everyone in the background of my snaps... which is why such an approach is unworkable.
As for name changes, an institution will not need to give a reason for not changing their name. Why should they? If they changed their name, then they'd say "this is why we're changing it".
If your dad died and your mom re-married, to some guy called Mr Gappy, nobody would ask you to explain why you didn't change your name from Tessellated to Gappy.
You realise there's a reason for that puffed chip bag? You're getting the same amount of chips as before, just that the bag is larger and puffed with air... so that the bag doesn't get squished and crush your chips.

I really don't see how this is much of a parenting issue. ... a kid playing a game might not fully realize that this is going to be charged real money.
Sounds TOTALLY like a parenting issue to me.
See those candies in the store? Not the store's job to tell the kid they need real money to buy them.
If you haven't taught your kids to appreciate real money yet, then they shouldn't be in the position to spend real money without your supervision.
About a case that was very much private.
What case was very much private? Aren't courts open to the public? TFA says it was a "high-profile fraudulent mortgage".

Brum, or a catastrophic effect on the whole nation's transport ...
Fair trade off I'd say.
Now write it out a hundred times, or I'll cut your balls off.
Yep, more of her please.
The United States hasn't even charged this guy with anything.
Neither has Sweden, and yet ...
The US will stop importing oil way before China stops importing potash. A billion mouths have to be fed somehow.

As far as I can tell, no-one was named. In which case, I'd love, indeed probably pay for some stories from my doctor/psychologist.
Opposing labor unions is a sign of bravery, civility and free thinking.
So is being a member of a union, but I see your point.

You've just answered your own (unasked) question. They're buying it BECAUSE it brings in eyeballs that they've not had before.
