No, it's in fact NOT LIBERTARIAN to allow private organizations COMPLETE CONTROL of the freedom of an individual, whether that individual is a child or not.

It's funny when leftists who claim to support open borders show themselves to be the selfish xenophobes they are.

De jure, but not de facto.

The Continental Congress ratified the text of the Declaration of Independence on July 4th (that's 4 July for the European xenophobes). There ate other important milestones in the American Revolution, but that was chosen as the formal DECLARATION of independence. Ratification by vote, not signing of a paper (which was completed by August 2nd, still not "long after the war started") determined the event. And if you're going to decide when we became de facto independent, and declaration of such and taking up arms isn't enough, then I'd say it was once Franklin persuaded the French to recognize the USA as a nation.

Apparently, 5 moderators are insufferably dull European killjoys like yourself. You'd love it if we had another World Cup poll, right? Wake up and smell the internet, loser.

I tried to put a coat and hat on my bottle rockets, and it started a fire.

You probably meant "disoriented", although I have to say a disinterested pilot would be almost as bad.

The U.S. Constitution is in the public domain. And chances are, the police haven't read it before.

I would totally just take a bag full of dead cell phones to the airport with me if I didn't think it would result in a cavity search.

Besides your scenario being foolish-- there is a significant customer base like you who the airlines would like to serve-- it's not government's place to keep you from being annoyed. Banning phone calls in-flight because it annoys people is worse than the chewing gum ban in Singapore. At least that was done because of the vandalism to the infrastructure.

Ever hear of air bags?

People seldom hit construction workers in PA because they're never actually working...

Seriously, we do have a lot of jobs where the work is done at night so in theory it doesn't impede rush hour. In practice, however, it still screws up everything because the work area is still posted at a lower speed even though no workers are in it. Often there isn't even a hazard like a closed shoulder to be concerned of. This kind of frustration is what makes people tend to ignore the lower limits, so when there really are workers, they might assume the boy is still just crying wolf.

The problem is already solved. There are screens that can be placed over LED traffic signals to make them invisible when viewed off-axis.

The trick is finding dimmable ones. Even then, you have to use LED dimmers or you'll just end up having a dimming range that is either off, or about 50-100%-- if it works at all. Still better than CFL.

I found $1 dimmable 40-watt equivalent LEDs at Goodwill a few months ago. They were probably power-company-subsidized, but that's still amazing. I bought four, and wish I'd bought more.

May I respectfully disagree with your off-topic rant and incorrect recall of history?

Hint: which conflict in Iraq involved an invasion of Kuwait?

Also, stop using sneaky ad hominems like "blind".
