Canadian Blood Services Promotes Pseudoscience 219

trianglecat writes "The not-for-profit agency Canadian Blood Services has a section of their website based on the Japanese cultural belief of ketsueki-gata, which claims that a person's blood group determines or predicts their personality type. Disappointing for a self-proclaimed 'science-based' organization. The Ottawa Skeptics, based in the nation's capital, appear to be taking some action."

Let's be completely clear, it is the customer being taxed and not Amazon.

The customer is resposible for those taxes in most states wether Amazon colectes them or not.

I do beleve that online retailers should be made to collect the sales tax for the state the good are being delivered to.

However, I also belive that it will require federal action for this to happen.

This is only true if I do not have a car that has a reciprocal braking system that allows me to recapture the energy myself. Also a bump in the road will be more likely to cause me to brake more than I would normally need to in any situation. (Speed bumps exist to encourage braking not to slow the vehicle themselves.)
