What you're actually saying is that unvaccinated kids infect other unvaccinated kids. What the GP said was that your vaccinated kids have nothing to worry about. Right?
Wrong, because vaccines aren't 100% effective in producing immunity. Following current protocols, they're generally 80-90% effective.
Also, the pertussis vaccine isn't started being administered until 2 months and is given in 4 doses at 2, 4, 6, and 15-18 months, followed by a booster at 4-6 years. That results in a rather wide window of vulnerability where herd immunity is critical.
the fraud who started the whole thing did it entirely for profit - he was at the time very much involved with development of a non-functional "alternative" to vaccination, and attempted to use the bad publicity he was creating for vaccines to promote his snake oil replacement.
No, Wakefield wasn't quite that evil. The company he had stake in made separate measles and mumps vaccines rather than the MMR combination vaccine he was trying to discredit.
Not a primary source. Just somewhat familiar with and more-than-somewhat depressed by the history.
First Tennessee had the Butler act (which lead to the scopes trial), which they repealed just before it would have been struck down by Epperson v. Arkansas, then they tried an "equal emphasis" law, which was then stuck down in Daniel v. Waters, which was later further confirmed by Edwards v. Aguillard. Now post-Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District, they're trying "no one will be punished for teaching either, nudgenudgewinkwink".
They can also go unemployed for months/years and default on their mortgage. A Morton's fork is no choice at all.
If a company faces an equal risk of financial oblivion in firing an employee, you might have a point. But outside of the most grossly mismanaged company, they don't.
Alternatively, net metering is available, but they just give you a credit on your account for any surplus fed into the grid and won't give it back to you in cash.
Nowhere in the Constitution, however, is there the power for Congress to make you buy goods or services from third parties
The 2nd congress and president Washington evidently had a different idea about that, at least regarding firearms and associated equipment.
"That each and every free able-bodied white male citizen of the respective States, resident therein, who is or shall be of age of eighteen years, and under the age of forty-five years (except as is herein after excepted) shall severally and respectively be enrolled in the militia...That every citizen, so enrolled and notified, shall, within six months thereafter, provide himself with a good musket or firelock, a sufficient bayonet and belt, two spare flints, and a knapsack, a pouch, with a box therein, to contain not less than twenty four cartridges, suited to the bore of his musket or firelock, each cartridge to contain a proper quantity of power and ball; or with a good rifle, knapsack, shot-pouch, and powder-horn, twenty balls suited to the bore of his rifle, and a quarter of a pound of powder
Though as far as I can determine, any penalty for not following that directive is not specified in the law.
You can fire them, if you can find sufficient cause for impeachment. AFAIK, it's only been tried on a supreme court justice once, and he was acquitted.
You brought up tobacco. If it is so deadly and dangerous how come there hasn't been a complete ban of the product?
1. Any attempt to do so would make the current healthcare debate look like a snowball fight.
2. Any thinking person would realize that's an exercise in futility, much like the majority of the war on drugs.
Methane is 15x the greenhouse gas that CO2 is, but there isn't any money in taxing cows so instead they are taxing carbon emissions because that is a much bigger tax base
Manmade emissions of CO2 are roughly 667x greater (330 million tonnes of methane vs. 220 billion tonnes of CO2) than manmade emissions of methane. Even at a 15:1 ratio in effectiveness, it's only about 2.25% of the effect. Clamping down on methane emissions would do absolutely fucking nothing compared to working on CO2.
Look at a steel combo wrench and figure out how to break that turning a nut by hand.
Cold weather. Common tool steels will become rather brittle at -40 or so. Combine that with a nut that wants plenty of torque and now you're got two non-combination wrenches.
For many other sates, but at least for california, those no sue clauses are unenforceable and void precisely because they are not legal.
Nope. The supreme court ruled last year in AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion that the Federal Arbitration Act preempts any state laws to that effect and thus they can force you into their choice of arbitration providers.
I've been thinking for a while now that instead of issuing you with a 'card', the banks should switch to issuing you with something akin to an RSA SecurID tag.
That wouldn't be much better than current systems if the processor has shitty security. They can just lift the seed files off the processor's servers and go on their merry way.
>My money is on most readers here aren't stupid enough to unload any data storage device w/o appropriately clearing it, or using throwaway credentials
Except that there's no practical method for actually wiping the damn thing other than microsoft's secret konami code.
Wipe the disk using DBAN or something and now microsoft's stupid "security"(the only thing it secures is their profits on selling commodity hardware) flag results in it not being usable in the system

You're not going to convince Mr. Mir of that.
The Good Libertarian Solution would be to sue the person who infected your child.

The law PROTECTS people ALLOWING THEM TO SAY THAT VERY THING.
Were the law applied exactly as written, you'd be correct.
A person with a passing familiarity with the history of related laws in Tennessee will tell you it will not be applied in that manner.
They are not. They can leave
They can also go unemployed for months/years and default on their mortgage. A Morton's fork is no choice at all.

Those are not the high-mpg diesels. Look-up bluemotion and note the lack of US availability.
You can use it in a diesel engine. The US Army does. JP-8 is their everything fuel.
Of course not. The fundamentalist compact bible* says nothing against womankind lying with womankind as with womankind.
*consists solely of Leviticus 18:22.
They might've wanted him listed as "engineer". Would stand out less.
My dad's old F-350 (1995) managed 16 unloaded on the highway. Granted, it had that massive 7 litre diesel, but it's still a damn sight bigger vehicle.
Hydrogen stored under pressure has a considerably lower energy density compared to hydrocarbons that we use.
Hydrogen+CO2+energy=hydrocarbons, specifically methane (aka natural gas), and water.
Use nuclear/hydro/solar/wind/whatever for the energy source, and you've got a closed carbon cycle fuel with only fairly minimal changes needed.
Sheesh. My mother's minivan (2002 Ford Windstar) gets 22MPG. My ancient 1993 Acclaim managed 24MPG, even with a slightly leaking head gasket.
20MPG? What does she drive? An F-150?
Saskatchewan's provincial tree is the paper birch.
If the leaves aren't there, it can resemble a wind turbine mast from a distance.
We'd even have enough excess power to put power back onto the grid for a profit (Well, we would if SaskPower had that option)
They don't advertise it, but Saskpower does offer that through their Small Power Producers Program.
Alternatively, net metering is available, but they just give you a credit on your account for any surplus fed into the grid and won't give it back to you in cash.
Disclaimer : I currently work for Saskpower.

It's called the Pareto principle, aka the 80-20 rule.
They know exactly how much they lose from fraud

They just shove it up the merchant's ass, who are then out the money, the merchandise, the transaction fee, and a chargeback fee.
