The US is factually a Republic. So, how many other "facts" does the state legislature need to make into law? To me this type of legislation is, at best, a waste of time, and at worst, political posturing. The legislature does not need to make a law to teach every particular fact they see fit.
II would not be suprised if the bill was introduced because of what many here in this forum suspect: legislators feel democracy = Democrat, and republic = Republican. I live in Utah and in certain circles "Democrat" is a dirty word.
Incidentally this is not the worst piece of legislation being debated by the state legislation this session (I don't think the "republic" bill has passed yet.) The Governor just sign into law a bill that crippled GRAMA, which allows access to government records.
So, when sentient, alien life appears on Earth and turns out to be hostile and destroys a few million people, I have to wait for the peer reviewed article to come out to read about it? I wonder if aliens let there pets read magazines. Either way, I welcome our new alien overlords.
While I have nothing against professional bull riders, I must admit I have not been around one when he has been drinking so it might not be my cup of tea.
The company doesn't pitch it as a "light saber". Reviews of the product compare it to a light saber, but it is not marketed by the company as one. Lucas is complaining because the laser has a hilt like a sword or a light light saber. His argument is fairly weak IMO.
Arlen Specter lost in Pa, Bob Inglis lost in SC, and congressmen in Al and WV lost. Here in Utah our incumbent Senator Bob Bennet didn't even make it to the primaries. While I agree the anti-incumbent wave may not be a strong as the media makes it out to be, you are definitely inaccurate in your statement that only one incumbent lost election in the primaries.
Though the seeds do not contain opium like other types of poppies, if smoked, it still gives a mild sedative buzz. While they are getting rid of asbestos that doesn't cause cancer, California should also get rid of poppies that don't contain opium. Makes just as much sense.
I think the key word is "off-Shore." Granted, since there is a lot of wind off-shore it would have been better to have had one sooner, but there are other wind farms in the US, they are just inland.
That would make sense if the fatalities are only the driver, however, if you looked at the data, it includes fatalities of passengers, pedestrians and other drivers. Some of the older drivers survived, but killed other people. Even accounting for age, the ratio of the driver dying and the driver surviving is pretty even.
Companies like HP and ASUS are hardware companies. They think of hardware solutions to problems. Apple straddles the world of software and hardware and think differently (so to speak). Hardware only companies work at a competitive disadvantage when trying develop integrated solutions. They can do it, but it does not play to their strengths.
Actually, I think this suit had to do more with control than artistic integrity. EMI has not treated its artists very well, which is why many have jumped ship (such as REM, Radiohead, The Rolling Stones, et al). This is probably a way for Pink Floyd to stick it to the label. PF has never been overly label friendly anyway.
If this was about artistic integrity only, this suit would have been filed long ago. Singles are not just a 21st century invention. Pink Floyd have had many songs released as singles over the years. I have owned a few 45rmp by singles by Pink Floyd in my day. They have also made several compilation albums over the years with songs from their albums as a way of fulfilling contractual obligations. So this suit was clearly not just about artistic integrity.
Your tirade would carry more weight if the country in question did not set a minimum work age at 16. Basically, the company was breaking the law. Your 18-21 straw man is not applicable in this argument.
Gold still has value inside a semi-closed system tht collapses in on itself because it still holds value in a larger system. In other words, if the US economy collapsed, the dollar would lose value but not gold because people in other economic systems would still value it. If, on the other hand, a global economic collapse happened, gold would lose its value. How much much value it lost would depend on the extent of the collapse.
Yes, but the assumption was that civilizations stopped broadcasting into space because they ceased to exist. Now we can think, maybe there are civilizations out there that are extant, but past the point of radio broadcasts. This is good news if we hope that intelligent life is still out there.
Ads are not meant to be useful to you. They are meant to be useful to the company advertising. Most of the time it is just to keep the name of the company fresh in people's minds. The sad fact is that ads do influence people's behavior. Take drug ads. For better or worse, people really do go into their doctor and request medications they have seen in magazines or TV.

I am sure he is going to say 13-18 more times before the day is through.
They are bad apples, so it is more of a recall.

Take my Senator. Please!
Well then, pull your head out of Uranus.
There, it had to be said.

I think the implication of this is that the t-shirt will only stop lead bullets.

Well, I have heard that di-hydrogen oxide is pretty dangerous too. Maybe they should ban that as well. Pretty much the same thing.

I am so afraid to click that link.
I so wish that there was a +1 ironic moderation.

These 13 year old punk know-it-alls. Grrrr.
I use AutoPager add-on for Firefox. It strings multi-page stories together most of the time.
