Hey Pandas, What Do You Think Will Someday Be Illegal Once We Fully Realize How Harmful It Is?

Possibly it used to be a link between the Congress-person elected and a locatable group of electors, who would then have someone to go to if they needed help. But now, it's just a fix and everyone knows it. The only way forward IMHO would be to have each elector have five votes (if their state had 5 congress-people) and count them all together . But who will allow that?

What would you replace them with? The constitution mandates a bicameral legislative branch. The corporations own the senators, so we needs congressional representatives elected somehow.

Possibly the hidden costs of things the government won't do, is adding up to an equally hidden tax we just can't afford?

No, its not. Look it up.

Even without the 2nd amendment, it would be amazingly difficult to wean the nation off its offensive toys. They work fine - as compensation for those with small personal development, hem hem - and the rest of them are sold on fear "You need this because everyone else has one". Find me a way of getting nations to give up their nuclear weapons (especially after what happened to Ukraine when it did that) and I'll show you a way of getting people to give up their guns.

When my husband and I started dating, his ex took him to one side. She explained that if the new relationship was going to work, he'd need to give up cigarettes. (I'm asthmatic.) He took her advice, and we've been married for over 30 years.

Yes indeed, the way forward here is to find the way it gets into us and break that loop. Caution - may require Science.

It's far more likely to be from contraceptives. They enter the sewage system, and from there enter our waterways.

An admirable aim, but we have no gun to shoot here. I suspect that the legal definition of a "total c*nt" might be difficult, to start with. Sometimes we get the politicians we deserve, especially if we allow slogans instead of actual thinking to dominate our minds.

They do. There are strict guidelines across the world. The problem is when people retro-fit to vehicles not equipped with the required self-levelling kit, which is itself already illegal.

And if they point downwards, within a foot or so they will be below head level. Place a legal requirement that the light from these lamps is not to be above so many units at a distance of so much, and the car designers will find a way to obey it. But everyone wants bright lights that show the road half a mile ahead, on their vehicle at least , which is the actual problem. Oh, and, as you reach the top of a hill, your car is pointing up and its lights will shine upwards. Solve that problem, and perpetual motion will be a walk in the park.
