Problem was, a neighborhood developed around the road. People complained, and sued the DOT, because they knew their 70-year-old houses existed before the road. The DOT pulled photos from the archives, engineers ($$$) went to court to show the houses were not only built after the road was there and paved, but that was why the houses were build (a road was there). That's the kind of crap that happens EVERY time you need to do a major build or upgrade.
I'm really surprised that the debate over whether the road was improved before the houses were built even entered into it. In the northeast, governments usually just take the property unless there is an historical or environmental issue. Consider yourself lucky if they give you market value for the property.
And NOT use the DOT to Force policies on states///Federal Highway Funds are not provided to states that don't follow DUI laws, FYI.
One of the worst, most un-conservative policies pushed by Reagan (the others being signing off on amnesty for illegal immigrants for nothing in return, and signing off on banning full-auto weapons made after 1986).
We don't have the time-- your 5 mil commute would take 100 minutes. Some people already commute that long-- and that's ridiculous-- but it brings me to the second reason, and that is that where we live determines where we work, not vice versa. Most of us don't move every time we get a new job just so we're within walking distance. Considering how tenuous everyone's employment really is, this is not a stupid strategy.
So parents can't treat their kids like "property", but the government can?
Not vaccinating your kids is stupid. But forcing people to do it to send their kids to public school, then forcing them to attend said public school unless they're rich enough to pay for a private school, is class warfare. I hope these states have charter schools and/or a voucher program.
This only works if you're a racist who projects his racism onto Republicans.
You do know there are black Republicans, right?
You do know that early 20th century progressives-- most of whom were Democrats-- advocated abortion for "undesirables" like poor blacks and immigrants, right?
I'm not sure whether you're insane, or just never read an Ayn Rand book. I'm sure you have a deep-seated rage against Rand, but can't imagine what in any of her novels would equate bad management to being "Randian". I mean, I could call a company that DID extend hours on Christmas eve pretty evil towards its employees-- and you could turn around and call that "Randian".
There's something to that, I think. Alkalines have a linear voltage drop as they discharge, but carbon zinc ones might have a more logarithmic one like NiMH and NiCd [citation needed]. Regardless, I put lithiums in all my smokes now. Once they start beeping, it's ten years later and time to replace the smoke detector anyway.
Hint: Look above the FDA nutrition label where it says "Contains XX% juice".
Juicy Juice, Northland, and Apple & Eve is 100% juice. Juicy Juice does use concentrates, but they don't add sugar so they're OK if you can't find the others. Ocean Spray has been overpriced sugary garbage for 30 years so skip right over them.
Your strategy worked because you were able to select the GOOD SCIENCE. Many people don't have such insight. According to what we are fed through the media, you could have tried to fix it by adopting a paleo or vegan diet, going on dangerous statin drugs to lower your cholesterol, and taking up P90x.
In the article-- I know, who reads them-- the student had been previously disciplined for calling another student "black". I mean, if the other student wasn't black, that's just weird, and if he was, then it's rude but not worthy of serious punishment unless "black" is ipso facto racist.
Then I think you are confusing "classical liberals" with actual "progressives". What you are claiming is simply not what affirmative action is-- which is what we have been living with in the USA with African-American people since the 1970s. And yet, surprisingly little progress has been made.
Without even addressing the straw man of genetic bias-- why are we concerned if there are few women in CS? Why are we not so concerned about so few men in nursing, veterinary sciences, and elementary education?
You are arguing against a straw man. Saying that a military cannot conquer an armed civilian population is not the same as saying that an armed civilian population is the ONLY way to repel a military.
Because they only allied with us because we'd had some success, which wouldn't have happened without, you know, being able to fight some battles with guns and cannons?
The fact is that you DO have a right to drive, but there are restrictions because automobiles are dangerous when used improperly. This doesn't put me in the fascist gun control camp with you, because there is EXPLICIT clarification in the Constitution on what kind of use is protected-- military arms-- and that is EXACTLY the kind of use progressive fascists have been fighting against forever. Save a short time in the 70s-80s when they actually focused on handguns in their drug war, of course.
You don't want to go down this path, because the government can just declare it DOES have a right to install cameras in your home, DOES have a right to perform cavity searches with 100 miles of the border, DOES have a right to your DNA...

Do you go to work out of the goodness of your heart? Most of us don't. Most of us worry about, at least, food, clothing, and shelter.

RTFA: "I'm pro-science because the alternatives are worse. (Example: ISIS.)"
Modern cartridges will fire without an atmosphere because they contain their own oxidizer. Have fun.

Dude, "Afro American" is not approved either. It sounds like you're referring to a hairstyle.
Neither is colored, even though it is still part of the name of the most prominent African-American organization in the USA.
Somebody hasn't been to Mardi Gras before!

Regulation is one thing.
Artificially restricting the number of cabs with medallions that then cost $1 million dollars, locking out rookie entrepreneurs, is crony capitalism.
Today I learned that farmers are whiny bitches.
Great. Now they're going to ban Linux as a pirate tool.
