This has absolutely nothing to do with moral objection, as many Liberal members broke rank from their party and actually voted *for* the bill.
This is true. Well, it is if by 'many' you mean 'one' (of the members present one voted for the measures, one abstained and the rest voted against keeping the measures). While the Liberal party did introduce the measures, they also built in a sunset clause in to the measure. So now, five years later, most of them feel the clauses are not necessary and they allowed them to expire.
Submission + - Power-generating spacesuits
Maggie McKee writes: "Could piezoelectric sensors help power future space missions? From the article: "Astronauts' spacesuits may one day be covered in motion-sensitive proteins that could generate power from the astronauts' movement, according to futuristic research being conducted by a new lab in Cambridge, Massachusetts, US. Such 'power skins' could also be used to coat future human bases on Mars, where they could produce energy from the Martian wind."
Eventually, the biologically derived suits might even be able to heal themselves."
Submission + - Truth in Ratings Act reintroduced
dropgoal writes: Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas (and GOP presidential candidate) has reintroduced the Truth in Ratings Act. Like the previous version that failed to pass last year, Sen. Brownback's bill would make the FTC responsible for overseeing the video game ratings system and possibly result in a unified ratings system for games, movies, and TV. The ESRB would also have to review all game footage before issuing a rating: 'Currently, the ESRB hands out ratings after viewing a reel with representative content prepared by the developers. Sen. Brownback thinks that's not enough: "Video game reviewers should be required to review the entire content of a game to ensure the accuracy of the rating," he said. "The current video game ratings system is not as accurate as it could be because reviewers do not see the full content of games and do not even play the games they rate."'
