Exactly. Who needs volcanology when we already have Pat Robertson to warn us.
Thank goodness the republicans have cut funding for projects like these out of the new NSF geosciences budget.
The last thing we need to do is learn about the risk associated with living on our planet. No doubt it will be far better if the residents of Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and points east never worry about science and certainly a lot cheaper just to refer to such potential catastrophe as the "rapture". After all, who needs scientists when we have Michelle Bachmann?
Obviously, it depends upon whose children you are talking about. The ones getting infected or the ones doing the infecting. The reality is that quarantines have long been upheld in the courts and in the area of public health as an effective means of controlling communicable disease. If people don't want their kids quarantined, they can always move to a Red State like Texas, where your kid will soon even be able to bring a handgun to class and clearly, where communicable disease will be the least of their worries.
If a person has a religious objection to having their kids vaccinated, they can simply move to another state. As Ronald Reagan said, people should be able to vote with the feet. Besides, they will probably feel more comfortable going back in time to a Red State, where vaccinations are less and less common, except for the wealthy.
This bill will impinge on no one's freedom, since anyone who objects is free to move to a Red State where giving other people communicable diseases is perfectly OK and a perfectly legitimate thing to do.
Now determined hackers will literally spill your guts to get what they want.
Evidently, this is akin to the SCOTUS definition of obscenity. I can't tell what I want, but I'll know it when I see it.
You don't understand. The photo that was placed on the screen clearly indicates this kid could grow up to be a Democrat. It is essential the felony charges stick so that this kids voting rights will be permanently eliminated.

Don't worry, with a 6 ft sea level rise expected within 50-75 years much of Miami and the coastal cities in Florida will be inundated, so this problem will largely take care of itself. The irony is that all those mansions in Palm Beach will be among the first to go.
Yes, but with compassionate conservatism we can expect prisons to soon open up "job centers", where the prisoners can work for free.
You do't understand. The pick this kid posted suggested to them that he might grow up a Democrat. Soon he will be a felon and unable to vote. This is just one more aspect of many police state laws being put in place by the modern GOP and the shadow plutocrats that control it to make sure their grip on the public is complete.
One doen't know whether to laugh or feel sorry for at all the right wing conspirator wackjobs, who are so busy protesting against the evils of "liberalism" and "socialism", that they haven't even noticed the plutocrats have inserted a rubber glove so far up their backsides that when the time comes all the plutocrats will have to do is to reach in and yank their hearts out.
