    Well, if it's a coating across the entire blade, you're good until there's a complete electrical separation.

    After that, hopefully just spray some more epoxy on.

    LOL.

    As if the Supreme Court, by their very nature, can't clarify what the amendments do and do not mean.

    As if the legislative body, by their vary nature, can't make addendums or qualifiers into law.

    And they have. Often.

    And just how do you propose to :

    Repeal laws that are illegal.

    While not being able to vote out the incumbent *system* of $ for votes.
    While the supreme court basically agrees with how things are being governed.

    I agree. But that doesn't mean they haven't changed the laws over the last 30 or so years. And enforced them at gunpoint.

    And the supreme court has agreed with it, for the most part.

    So what else is there to do?

    They've already legally gotten around needing a warrant.

    FISA/Patriot act/whatever. They're not going back now.

    Which also means that they don't need to abide by the 4th amendment.

    And it was, to paraphrase Star Wars, done to a standing ovation.

    There are well known exceptions:

    "Youth younger than 16 years of age working in nonagricultural employment in a business solely owned by their parents or by persons standing in place of their parents, may work any time of day and for any number of hours. However, parents are prohibited from employing their child in manufacturing or mining or in any of the occupations declared hazardous by the Secretary of Labor.

    In addition, the child labor rules do not apply to:

            Youth employed as actors or performers in motion pictures, theatrical, radio, or television productions;
            Youth engaged in the delivery of newspapers to consumers; and
            Youth working at home in the making of wreaths composed of natural holly, pine, cedar, or other evergreens (including the harvesting of the evergreens)."
