    If you read the above comment, I said the transportation thing was specific to my county.

    As for the free ID, here is the link. http://www.in.gov/sos/photoid/howdoi.html

    After looking into it, it's a county (transportation) thing. Not state mandated.

  3. Do people really use these, on a regular basis? on The Gym Arcade · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I lift for about an hour 5 days/week and run about 30-40mpw. When I work out, I want to be unpluged. I don't want to see a screen, don't want to interact.

    It's my mind, my body and me. Nothing else. Everyone needs it.

    In Indiana (where the voter ID started and ended up with SCOTUS), we have free ID's and transportation if you need it.

    There are really no excuses and no reason to not have to prove who you are.

    He isn't running for election in Europe or the rest of the world, he is running in the U.S. Only U.S. citizens have a say-so.

    It really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks or classifies him or his opponents as.

    Not quite. I closely know a guy in jail now, for 2 years (3 years probation after that), because of 3 DUI's. He never had a wreck and never killed anyone.

    You won't get it taken away the first time, but after the 2nd or 3rd, you will.

  7. None at all! on How To Supplement Election Coverage? · · Score: 1

    I've already voted (absentee) since I will be out of the area.

    I'm going media free election day. No internet, no television, no radio. Is my being glued the tv/web going to change anything except my stress level?

    Wednesday, I will know.

  8. Re:What is this thing with corn syrup being so evi on Discuss the US Presidential Election & Health Care · · Score: 1

    I agree with you. I don't mess with corn syrup or cane sugar. The only things I normally drink are water and milk.

    We grow corn (my family) along with soybeans, so yes.

    Guess what? I don't touch corn syrup. I don't have to and no one has ever made me.

    No, the obesity epidemic can be fully blamed on those who got fat, the government had no part. No one forces them to eat corn syrup.

    No. You evaluate them by the content of the paper and the science behind it, not the method of which they typed the journal.

    O2 is a secondary by-product from farming. With media companies, the media is their primary product. Apples and oranges.

    Do media companies go overboard? Yes. Should they be able to charge for their product? Yes.

    keep salary caps OUT of the private sector. if they are government jobs, that's fine, but not otherwise, no. instead, why not let the stock-holders decide the CEO pay for the year, since they own the company.

    how will you like it when some asshat in congress decides that YOUR job is only worth 60% of what you are making. have fun with that. it wouldn't fix shit, plain and simple.

    You can install your steam content on as many computes as you wish, for no additional change. You can backup ll of it to files/dvd-r/cd-r and re-load in on any computer you wish.

    You can even have the same content on the different computers at the same time. You just can't be logged into the same account on different machines at once.

    I'm not against government, I'm against federal government. Most of these should be controlled at the local and state levels, not by the feds.

    Let's see. The local library, the police, the fire department (we have a volunteer fire department) are all controlled locally. Those work. Federal programs rarely do.

    "no publicity is bad publicity"

    Spoken like someone who knows nothing about marketing. One of the first things I was taught in my marketing classes is how that is a crock.

    Bad publicity has bankrupted companies, people and countries. It's drove people to suicide. There IS bad publicity.
