Why shouldn't the people of the municipality get to decide that for themselves. Why does the state government need to get involved? At the municipal level if you do not like a law being passed it is a minimal amount of effort to get it shut down before implementation. A few yard signs and talking to your neighbors.
From the article, and poorly formatted in this comment box:
At the time of the dump's closure, Niagara Falls was entering an economic boom and the population began expanding drastically, surpassing 85,000. The Niagara Falls City School District needed land to build new schools, and attempted to purchase the property from Hooker Chemical that had been used to bury toxic waste. The corporation initially refused to sell citing safety concerns, however, the board refused to capitulate.[1] Eventually faced with parts of the property being condemned and/or expropriated, Hooker Chemical agreed to sell on the condition that the board buy the entire property for one dollar. In the agreement signed on April 28, 1953, Hooker included a seventeen-line caveat that explained the dangers of building on the site. Hooker believed it was thus released from all legal obligations should lawsuits arise in the future.[9]
"Prior to the delivery of this instrument of conveyance, the grantee herein has been advised by the grantor that the premises above described have been filled, in whole or in part, to the present grade level thereof with waste products resulting from the manufacturing of chemicals by the grantor at its plant in the City of Niagara Falls, New York, and the grantee assumes all risk and liability incident to the use thereof. It is therefore understood and agreed that, as a part of the consideration for this conveyance and as a condition thereof, no claim, suit, action or demand of any nature whatsoever shall ever be made by the grantee, its successors or assigns, against the grantor, its successors or assigns, for injury to a person or persons, including death resulting therefrom, or loss of or damage to property caused by, in connection with or by reason of the presence of said industrial wastes. It is further agreed as a condition hereof that each subsequent conveyance of the aforesaid lands shall be made subject to the foregoing provisions and conditions.[1] ”

Hooker stated that the area should be sealed off "so as to prevent the possibility of persons or animals coming in contact with the dumped materials."[10]
There would be more usable land on Earth if all the ice caps melted, not less. A lot of people would have to relocate, but the process would be more than slow enough to adjust.
It may be a positive thing for everyone to know everything about everyone else. I am reminded of the episode of Malcolm in the Middle where Malcolm reads from everyones school records over the PA and it stops people from bullying each other because they all know their own embarassing shit is out there too.
I don't know thedifference in approval numbers between the UK and US, but me and my husband got civil unionized in Socotland last August and then travele all over England. Small towns, medium cities, and London. Never have I felt more comfortable being gay and open, it felt just completely normal.
In the US being gay is like being a furry or a LARPer, even if people don't outright hate you, there are still weird looks, awkwardness and surprise when another person figures it out. I hope at least in my state we see that same level of comfort soon.
You really think the opening salvo from a major military power against the US is the same as a group of crazies who killed themselves in the attack? As much credit/blame as Al Qaeda receives for 9/11, they were really only accomplices.
It requires someone on the inside to turn on the oppressors. Look at Farenheit 451, Brave New World, Equilibrium, Snowden. Keeping the Plebs oppressed is easy, maintaing loyalty among the ranks is tougher.
I have never said anything positive about the US Federal government. I spoke only on the values I as an Americanxwas brought up to believe in. There has always been a disconnect between those values and the actions of our leaders. Many of us still try to hold to them though.
I can understand why modern Germans would certainly hate anything Nazi related, but as an American the idea of just making the expression of ideas, or listening to certain music illegal sounds worse than the ideas they are oppressing (though any Nazis in power would of course do the same thing)

WOLVERINES!
This is why most applications have "May we contact this supervisor", if you put no they assume you left on gad terms
I think this is a great opportunity for some civil disobedience. All you brits should gather your dogs and head to the controlled zone.

When there's an environmental cause in a place such as a school, generally more than one kid gets it. Example

Take that ginger kids!
I don't think the laser beam has an arc and return trajectory.
Ok, ban the fertiizer. Still plenty of propane tanks.
Nope, in fact I said it was MORE distinct. It was more a suggestion that MIT is an enclave within Boston.
MIT would have given us that even if they were in Michigan or Minnesota. MIT is more distinct from Boston than the Vatican is from Rome.
Dish has this feature already for prime time television, but it doesnt activate til midnight after airing.
The tenents of Satanism look like they come from Atlas Shrugged, surprised it isn't the popukar religion of the south already.
It was also generally accepted in precontact Amerindian cultures.

But were they Bald Eagles? Cuz let's be honest, no one gives a fuck about sea gulls.
"Why is J. Edgar Hoover on your phone?"
"He's on everybody else's, why shouldn't he be on mine?"
I imagine if you are a ticket agent in Malaysia you don't know/give a fuck if the DHS doesn't want you to tell.
The bill of rights is the first ten of our twentysome amendments to the Constitution. They bae indeed part of it, just tacked onto the end.
