HW Bush made Clean Air Act tougher and that reduced acid rain and smog at the time
Here's a thought: let's mod people up as long as they soundauthoritative...
That's how both Reagan, and Obama got elected.
That's okay, I don't respect Carl Sagan.
Since several posts have mentioned shutting down areas, I thought I'd bring this back up. Let's not let this shit happen again.
As if everyone wouldn't immediately notice. Especially the media, who would have a feeding frenzy on it. Insightful?...my ass.
If video is recoverable then the bricking process is defective.
IANAL, but it would seem to me that all you would need is one instance of them wiping video evidence to make it's way through the courts, for that practice to be banned.
So why has every environmental initiative in the past 40 years been pushed by the Democrats and resisted by the Republicans?
You mean like this one?

Odd. I didn't know Bush was a Democrat.
What about this one?

Where are the Democrats pushing this bill and Republicans opposing it?
And although I'm stepping outside your 40-year limit, who created the Environmental Protection Agency in the first place? I'll give you a hint:

That's simply the difference between a criminal case, and a civil suit. The burden of proof in a criminal case is "beyond a reasonable doubt". In a civil case, it's much lower, only requiring a "preponderance of the evidence". I'm sure this is what you were referring to, but people are frequently unaware that there's a big difference.
You'd need to have a much larger court system to handle the load. There would likely be thousands of new cases in Missouri right now.
How difficult would it be for someone to force you to stick your finger on the sensor?
I actually have mixed feelings there. The cities make tons of extra tax money simply because of the teams existence. But yeah, I'm not in favor of them funding new stadiums and such.
You can be convicted, as Scott Peterson was, based only on circumstantial evidence.
This, along with the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, etc., etc., are nothing more than big business. When players are bought and sold, the "team" with the most money normally wins. I'm very much in favor of seeing elite competition, but all of the chest thumping by teams like this is meaningless.
I don't think the Onion originated that. Though they may have co opted and slightly modified this from back in the mid 80s. But then, there may be predecessors to that as well.
