Well, within Mexico, tequila can only be made in the state of Jalisco and a small portion of the state of Guanajuato. It's also only to be made of blue Weber agave, which is a type of maguey. Tequila is a subset of the mezcales, and there are other mezcales, like bacanora. Other mezcales can be made with other types of maguey.

Internationally, "tequila" was granted an OAC in 1977, but the USA doesn't recognize OAC as pointed out in so many other posts. Instead, the USA (and presumably other countries) depend on trade agreements to protect specific names, and that's the case with tequila in the USA.

5) Drug sex offenders to kill their sex drive. Similar to drugging the mental cases as we do now (both are mental problems.) This would possibly even help with the #1 cause of the problems. Makes more sense to have the sick people pay to treat themselves than everybody else pay to see where their kid was before / during victimization.

The only way I can think of to do this effectively is to chemically castrate these men. Sounds great to me, but that can't be done because the liberals and ACLU will all be up in arms over their "civil rights". Child molesters have basically a 100% recidivism rate, but apparently the liberals are more worried about their rights than their victims'.

It's only Prime Rib if it comes from Prime beef. Otherwise, it's just a standing rib roast (which itself is a noble thing). Chances are, you're not buying Prime at the supermarket.

A prime rib is a prime rib regardless of whether it comes from USDA Prime beef; it's an exception.

There's too much to check for anyway. ...There isn't evough time to walk around to every students desk before the exam and check for the existence of programs anyway. There was 200 students in my Year 1 calculus course in university. They mostly showed up 10 minutes before the exam started. There was no time to verify that they don't have any programs on the TI.

Which is basically why my profs just hit 'clear all' themselves and move on to their next student/victim

As someone who spends a lot of time around Mexico City (my wife's family lives there) I'd love to buy one of these for each of my kids.

That's good. Get a his-and-hers set for your wife and yourself while you're at it. As a device it has its uses, but that doesn't mean it's worth it for the populace in general. If I spent a lot of time in Afghanistan I'd love to buy a bulletproof vest, but I'm not going to wear one when the furthest I range is a drive into the North American suburban wasteland.
