Comment Racist? (Score 1) 1089

Fine, go ahead, make it mandatory, have Automatic Registration, with biometric ID used at the polls. If you are going to go all Orwell, do it right.

Comment Re:Transparency in Government is good! (Score 4, Insightful) 334

The fact that over 700 amendments were still unable to fix it should tell you something. In the end, no Republicans voted for it.

Democrats will often say, well, what's your alternative? When you are standing at the edge of a cliff and one party is contemplating jumping, you should not be discussing different ways of jumping. Perhaps just not jumping would have been the better solution.

Comment Re: A Language With No Rules... (Score 2) 667

But that's the point. It's the linguistic equivalent of relative morality. If there not a single morality, then there is no morality. If there are no fixed and unchanging rules, then there may as well be no rules. A common frame of reference is required.

How would a physics work if the rules of physics changed at the whim of the physicist? How could programmers work if they were able to change the syntax on a whim? When they do, they call it a new language.

If you don't follow the rules, then you can't order chicken or fish
