You mean like the US Federal Government has no power unless explicitly permitted? The 10th Amendment?

Yeah, that's not going to fly.

Max, the spaceship from Flight of the Navigator always makes me whimsically nostalgic.

Because I have English for a native tongue, the answer is unfortunately yes.

Only Androids are defined to be human-like, not robots. So exactly what IS your definition of a robot, and why does it prevent a spaceship from being a robot?

You describe so well, how "God" apparently sees us as no more than a breed of dog, putting down all the curs.

Atheist here, but I would assume neither, since only the individuals that Jesus acknowledges in his book will be permitted in. Asking for salvation was never a guarantee to receive it.

Hmm, so being in the "in crowd" isn't enough to promote a healthier, longer life all by itself? There must be an imaginary sky friend involved?

Like it or not, there will be a percentage of parents who cannot or will not maintain an electronic point of contact (phones included). Schools default to paper notices because it's a SINGLE systems that can work with EVERYBODY. Tacking an electronic system on top of that is certainly nice for the techies, but it consumes time from either teaching your children, or an underpaid teacher's private life. Remember that the next time you ask for another "service" from your public schools.

Uh huh. Yeah right. You're gonna spend that money on private schooling. Sure. I believe you. You look like an honest guy. You and the crowd of other honest parents behind you who would also opt out of taxes. Sure.
