For Americans, this is an example of a problem with 2nd amendment law. More and more people are choosing cars as their weapon, but US law has not caught up. We need to treat cars with the same respect as guns. Cars should not need registration, licensing, or insurance. Cars are armaments not transportation.

So many Americans are using cars instead of guns to kill people. We need to start treating cars like the deadly weapons they are. By that I mean, we need to stop registering cars, stop requiring people show proficiency in using cars, stop requiring insurance to use a car. It's what the founding fathers wanted when they wrote the 2nd amendment.

I remain unconvinced. fentanyl is already illegal, yet people die from it, so making it illegal is already ineffective. Instead of spending money on police, lets spend it on treatment.

Why would it matter if felons voted while imprisoned or free? We should not be incarcerating so many people that their vote has anything beyond a trivial, marginal affect. That is to say the real question is why do we convict so many people of crimes?

People already choose to buy and use fentanyl without a doctors prescription, why should they be treated as criminals? If a junkie commits crimes because they are high, that should be criminal, and if a junkie commits crimes to get more drugs, that should be criminal, but I do not see a purpose in criminalizing fentanyl for consenting adults.

I know a family that had 6 hours of pregnancy, and they, like most in the same situation, did not seek a late term abortion. By the time labor sets in, the fetus is developed enough to survive outside the womb, so anyone seeking to end the pregnancy without taking possession of a child, should be allowed to simply demand that the fetus be removed. It should be up to the medical staff to decide how.

You will wear the ear diaper as a sign of compliance.

Cheap microphone for the church band. We need a spare.

Cliff Stearns (R-FL) proposed a display of the Ten Commandments in the capital building (without the scoreboard lights) in 2005. The bill did not pass.

As kids get older they consistently show that parents, even enthusiastic adoptive parents, are falling behind. Enjoy your kid while they are young and they will enjoy you when they are older. Let the OSs and computers fall behind, trying to keep up with the kid is far more important.

Many work places require employees to bring their own tools (eg auto mechanic). Requiring a phone or tablet is probably legal.
