How do we pass this - i.e. on what basis do we use to dictate to people what they can and can't do? Constitutionally it seems very suspect. Also - there doesn't seem to be any science that says masks actually stop the spread of COVID. Especially with how most people use a mask - i.e. decon risk during mask removal etc... This seems more like a feel good idea than one that will actually stop the spread of COVID. Nothing prevents you from wearing a mask - why should I *have* to wear a mask? Especially from a federal mandate - the 10th Amendment alone should drive this away.

Will the crow that is being served be warm or the more traditionally cold variety

I cannot stand EW. I think she is a horrible, opportunistic politician (I know I repeat myself) - but I agree with this - and hope she pushed all the past Farm Machines and make it for everyone...

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH you think it's better where you live???

I disagree with you completely with regards to the cutting corners on safety and private operation of the plants. However I completely AGREE with you on the point if they can't run it on their own without handouts then it truly is a government operation anyway so the government should be in charge,.

Uber's lack of problem with double dip Lyft drivers becomes much clearer now - if the driver is driving for both services -e.g. Lyft and Uber - then they look more like they are providing a service vice being an employee.

I can't see how this isn't considered a bribe...

Waste of time...

I think you have too many hands

Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly have never positioned themselves as Journalists, and never have positioned themselves as neutral.

Although I disagree with the thin edge of the wedge, I think I over reacted to your post. I am pretty new to slashdot posting(I'm a posting leach - I read but don't contribute much), but I do apologize for it... I have enjoyed this honest exchange of opinion(forget about the lack of congruence)!

And I would rather be mocked than feared... heck I pretty much enjoy any attention anyway!

Now just wait a minute. I am clinging to the whole not being a suicide bomber = good behavior!!!! Don't take that away from me too!!!

Seriously though... I guess I get frustrated with always being labeled as a freak just because of my faith.

As to being despised and feared... well I never have been feared(except at a buffet maybe), but am normally despised because of my faith.

And you mention that the absence of a religion does not a rational person make, but too often the presence of religion labels us as nuts.

No, I don't feel that the law should be employed to make people believe like me. If that is your way to bring people in, you're screwed. You can't legislate morality/religion/belief. Just wont work.

But at the same time, teaching Creationism as a counterpoint to evolution doesn't harm anybody. Especially if it is an elected group of people pushing this who are representing those who elected them. Or even better, present Creationism as a counterpoint, but without the same hours requirement. No need to spend equal time (seriously - God made it, it's what creationist believe, shouldn't take more than an afternoon to discuss and move on) but it allows another viewpoint to be presented. There's no need to try spend an equal amount of time to invalidate evolution. Even I believe in the adaption of species, and survival of the fittest, but not as an origin of man. Learning is the exposure to multiple viewpoints, and be able to assemble information from multiple sources.
