The lanes are quite popular. Perhaps you meant that they are not that common. That is mainly because the cost can only be justified at high-volume interchanges, such as Mid-County, or the ends of the NJ Turnpike. They are more frequent in Delaware, where tolling is not based on entry and exit points.
How little that might be is certainly relevant, because this thread started with a guy asking if the mall will pay for the extra food that people will eat due to the calories used in that 5 mm difference.
Preamble aside, the Court typically assumes that there is no syntactic sugar in the Constitution (or any other law or regulation). I think there's a fancy latin name for the concept.
Regardless, the general welfare clause appears in Article I, Section 8 and relates to taxation. And there's the rub. PPACA requires you to pay a tax if you do not have health insurance. It clearly fits into taxation for the purpose of the general welfare.
Actually there are a ton of bridges on the Turnpike. How do you think grade-separation is achieved?
As you go through Elizabeth near the airport, it's mostly viaduct, 14 lanes wide. Same with the area around the Meadowlands, as swamp doesn't make for a good roadbed.
They are also expanding the roadway on a 20-mile stretch, which is the biggest reason for recent toll increases.
It's in response to the "argument" that liberals want to turn the US into China or North Korea. Absurdity begets absurdity, no one actually believes these things (I hope).
Let me just get this straight.. your hypothesis is that a profitable business owner would rather kill the business (NB: his/her source of income) than pay a higher tax rate?
Analogies are meant to be used in situations where the subject matter is unfamiliar to the listener. They are not a logical construct where some concept that is applicable to object A magically becomes applicable to object B.
Not that I agree with all of Hansen's statements and actions, but if you worked for 30 years on projects that continually predicted serious effects on human civilization, would you just sit back and watch?
This post is, of course, demonstratively false. On the first part, one need only look at air monitoring data, water quality data, haz waste disposal, etc. There is still a ways to go, but the idea that EPA is ineffectual is just silly. Ask anyone who was alive 50 years ago.
By definition, EPA cannot work against the will of the people. The people's will is expressed through the Congress, which established the EPA and writes the laws that EPA uses as the framework for regulations. Congress has not suspended or revoked any of these laws wholesale. Congress did prohibit enforcement of a few specific rules, but these are very targeted cuts. Another measure of the will of the people is public opinion polling. Polls showed that the public was against EPA cuts and is generally for additional regulation in the area of climate change.
How many 'commands' do you think Word has? (NB: This is different from how many commands you actually use) How exactly are they all supposed to be up on the screen at all times, and none hidden in menus?
That certainly wasn't the case in Office 2003, so it's odd that you hold it up as an ideal.
I call it PEBKAC. 2 years? Cmon. The ribbon isn't perfect, sure, but the flaws are for the most part minor and any real confusion is cleared up in 5 minutes via google.

They got you to respond after 15 people had already done so... YHBT, don't give up your day job.
What's that quote from Sneakers.. the only way to win is to not play?
DDT was never banned for disease vector control and is still used today. Its use has declined because mosquitoes have become resistant.
The proposed caps were much more than what was needed because of this "concern". The opposition just found a new reason to be against it, of course.

A law cannot render another law unconstitutional. The existence of McCarran-Ferguson isn't relevant to the Constitutional question.
Looks like the story got mixed up somewhere. Gameboy inspired FireWire, per this presentation: http://www.ieee802.org/802_tutorials/04-July/1394HistoryAndMarket.pdf

FYI, John Galt is a fictional character.

In other words... your point?
you forgot the last line..
short-sightedness: priceless

Unemployment benefits have no relationship to the unemployment rate.
If you don't have a job and are looking for work, you are 'unemployed'.
Interesting that you are (rightly) quick to consult the help file in Office 2003, but not in Office 2010. It still exists.
You don't have to click. Alt+F, A.
Page setup? Use the breakout button. It's next to the text that says "Page Setup".
There has always been a page in the help file listing keyboard shortcuts.
Page break, picture, and cross-reference are all on the insert tab.
It's odd how you have 'many common cases' where the ribbon slows you down, but didn't articulate one (except the obvious-bullshit one).
How many 'commands' do you think Word has? (NB: This is different from how many commands you actually use) How exactly are they all supposed to be up on the screen at all times, and none hidden in menus?

"I actually need and use my email"
Love it. The literally millions of people who do just fine with Outlook and the ribbon obviously don't "need" or "actually use" their email, no.
I call it PEBKAC. 2 years? Cmon. The ribbon isn't perfect, sure, but the flaws are for the most part minor and any real confusion is cleared up in 5 minutes via google.
That may be the worst analogy I've ever seen.
