Pulse of The People: Congress should pass the Right to Repair Act
The Tire Industry Association applauds the passage of the Right to Repair law in Massachusetts and strongly urges Congress to pass a comparable federal law to ensure that all American car owners and their trusted repair shops have the same access to safety alerts and repair information as the franchised new car dealer network.
Most new vehicles are equipped with tire pressure monitoring systems to protect motorists from the dangers of operating a vehicle with underinflated tires. Because these systems are controlled by computers, every repair facility must have ready access to complete, accurate information from the car companies or it will be very difficult to keep all TPMS systems activated and in safe working condition. Passage in Massachusetts is a good start, but there is a critical need to swiftly pass the Right to Repair Act on a national level.
The Motor Vehicle Owners' Right to Repair Act (HR 1449) levels the competitive playing field for motoring consumers and between new car dealerships and independent repair shops by requiring that car companies provide full, fair access at a reasonable cost to all non-proprietary service information, tools, fault codes and safety-related bulletins needed to repair motor vehicles.
We support each car owner's right to patronize the auto service facility of their choice and ask all motorists to visit www.righttorepair.orgwww.righttorepair.org to send a letter to each of their congressional representatives, urging them to co-sponsor the Right to Repair Act.

Why Does the Adoption Process Take So Long for Formerly Abused Pets?
High profile animal abuse cases get the public's attention, and people sometimes wonder why rescuers cannot just provide a loving home for the animals.
The SPCA Tampa Bay has received a steady stream of phone calls and emails from people interested in adopting the three surviving kittens that were found in a freezer in St. Petersburg on Dec. 2. But the kittens are not yet available for adoption. It's not because of the kittens' health, but because of the legal process that must be followed, said Nora Hawkins of the SPCA. The SPCA Tampa Bay typically serves as the advocate for the animals in such cases. "Animals are helpless; they are totally dependent on their owners for care ... There's a public outrage when pets and innocents are battered and abused," said Jim Helinger, attorney for the SPCA Tampa Bay. The process typically starts when the SPCA Tampa Bay gets a phone call to assist …

Yeah, exactly. I went down that many levels because that's how many players we have now but it's modifiable to whatever number of people you have. The feeder divisions just represents the incomplete row.
No change! I fear change!
Triplets! I love triplets!
GC's lovely 1-2-quad based tier system. It's clearly the best!
Yeah, exactly. I went down that many levels because that's how many players we have now but it's modifiable to whatever number of people you have. The feeder divisions just represents the incomplete row.
Choosing the divs at random from a pool of going up/staying/going down would keep things mixed nicely, you could even put a block in to stop anyone facing the same person twice in a row - that way we can keep the non-euclidean structure without the Cthulian tentacles linking it all together. Even if people dropped out a bit late in the day it'd allow for easier re-shuffling.
OK, so lets do this brilliant plan-shaped-thing that some genius came up with! Can someone check whether we are good to go* and if so then start things? (PLEASE remember to check the fixtures match between the sheet and the game - also that you may need to log out of the game to refresh the ingame fixtures because, Cyanide). Again, apologies to Prester John. :(
*Apologies if it has been done already, it is my birthday today so I have been busy all weekend celebrating and enjoying the sunshine. Also it's my wedding anniversary tomorrow so I may well be out of circulation for a few days...
/edit - I should get a chance to logon tonight at about 5pm to do some quick admin stuff, if someone hasn't already....
When asked, he merely responded with a wry bleat followed by a swift kick to the testicles.- Rakysh
OK, starting Divs now!
Looks like we are still missing :
Div4 - Nullkigan, Andy G
Div5 - Kapouille
/edit - I have started from the top down to Div3 & DivD - PLEASE check the fixtures ingame match those in the fixtures tab of the sheet before you commit to (or play!) a match, I have done it in a hurry since I am off out for birthday boozing soon!

(If we're lucky enough to see Div E get rolled on today, Helio and I can get our match in; else we'll have to wait until next weekend. No pressure though!)
I'm failing to writing a blog, specifically about playing games the wrong way
All leagues except 4 and 5 have been started and I believe the seedings should be right, but it wouldn't hurt for someone to double check.
The remaining divs are still waiting for Andy G and Kapouille.
Happy Birthday, ntw!
Division A
Red Skull Reavers (President Weasel, Chaosmans) 2 - 0 The Easy Dead (Lowkey, undead mans)
A game where I rode my luck, and where Nuffle decided to punish me for low-risk moves and reward me for ridiculous ones.
Things were looking bad in turn (6, I think) when my "I have a reroll left, I will take one go for it to get my man out of anyone's range, and reroll if it goes wrong" ran into Nuffle and his trademarked two 1s in a row.
I'd just mentioned to Lowkey how I had really been hoping to injure more of his team on my drive (I'd only got two KO's by then).
Having been buggered by the dice in a low-risk play and with no re-rolls left, and having failed to properly injure any undeads, I then had a rather spectacular change of luck. I stat-injured (serious concussion, that's -AV I think?) a level 4 ghoul, then without any rerolls:
- blitzed the ghoul standing over my AG4 former ball carrier, but he rode it and sidestepped
- dodged the ball carrier away from the ghoul and to the line
- typed "ELFBALLLLLL!!" (this part is important, whenever you try something like this)
- dodged an AG3 beastman away from his marker
- picked up the ball with the AG3 beastman
- passed the ball successfully
and caught the ball with the AG4 beastman for a touchdown
Somewhere in there I also killed a ghoul, but he was just a 0spp one and Lowkey has loads of cash for a replacement.
Lowkey's attempt at an equaliser failed when I managed another no-reroll dodge with an Ag3 beastman, to take down his ball carrier.
In the second half some nasty dice on an early block gave me a shot at Lowkey's ball carrier, and the ball landed in the hands of a chaos warrior in the middle of the melee. I couldn't keep it though, and a couple of turns later Lowkey made a lone-ghoul breakthrough and sprinted for the line. His ghoul got KO'd, and as his team headed down the pitch to try to retrieve the ball I rode my luck with the dice and managed an almost skavenesque pickup, handoff, short-pass move to get the ball most of the way into Lowkey's half and on its way to my second touchdown.
I'd love to say this was a well-deserved victory, but I really don't think I can. I had excellent rolls when I really needed them, and Lowkey didn't. Nuffle smiled upon the Reavers today.
Ah a bit of bad luck but honestly Pres played the better game and deserved the win, the second TD in particular was very well done, the after match stats said the ghoul was now 5 av which I am hoping was a mistake...
Taxiderm was at a bit of a TV deficiency, so they started the match with babes and a reroll, kicking off to the Lycanthropes. Taxiderm set a lopsided line, and the Lycanthropes accordingly advanced up the weak side. But as their leading blockers got caged in and surrounded, the Lycanthropes chose to smash aside Taxiderm's mummies and switch the field. After a very punchy drive, there was a dramatic moment; the ball-carrier mere steps from the endzone, marked by one ghoul, with another nearby on the ground. The grounded ghoul got up to blitz, but failed his dodge, and went down with a MNG. Turn 5, 1-0.
Taxiderm recovered the kickoff and things immediately went belly-up; the receiving ghoul attempted a hand-off and fumbled it, causing an immediate turnover and a grounded ball. The Lycanthropes immediately exploited the hole, recovering the ball and pulling it back to relative safety. The next turn, they punched their way through, and ran in a turn 8 TD. 2-0. In revenge, Taxiderm used their final turn to give an MNG to one of the Lycanthrope wights.
The second half started much better for Taxiderm; I screwed up my setup, with my kick zombie out of position, and they rolled a quick snap. The kick landed very close to the line of scrimmage, and was promptly picked up by a Taxiderm wight. Lots of back-and-forth blocking, which ended with Taxiderm making a midfield zombie cage, then switching over to a sideline mummy/ghoul cage. The Lycanthropes got some numbers in front of the cage, though, slowing it as best they could. Then Taxiderm pulled a risky maneuver; they rushed the ball carrier past, planting him in scoring distance, but against the sideline, with two ghouls and a skeleton for protection. The Lycanthropes seized on this, injuring the skeleton and crowd-pushing one of the ghouls for a second injury. Taxiderm responded by attempting to hand the ball off to the remaining ghoul, who might dodge away; but a failed catch put paid to that. The necros recovered the ball, and dashed it upfield with just enough time left to score. Helio proceeded to roll, two turns in a row, incredibly poorly-timed BD/BD, giving me an easy TD. 3-0. The remaining turn was a predictable LOS bashfest, but no injuries.
Taxiderm 0 - 3 Lucky Lycanthropes
A very pleasant match! Better luck for me than Helio, I think, but the difference was mostly my more developed team. All the blodge really gave Helio hell. Undead are a bashy team, but necros aren't exactly a slouch in that department, and the levels really counted. He did get an awful lot of mileage out of his babes, but it wasn't enough to counter my large, large quantity of block.
Division H
Blades of the Dwarves vs Doomdark's Revenge
(Dwarves vs Chaos)
Final score:
It was a long and grueling game, between two rookie teams. The Dwarves won the coin toss, and elected to receive for the first half. On the kick-off, the fans stormed the ref, but the bribes he gave out to mollify them were never used by either team. The Dwarves attempted some flashy passing to help move the ball forwards, and failed on the first turn. In response, the Chaos players were able to make a deep play to threaten the ball carriers, and a bit of carnage ensued. As all was looking lost for the Dwarves, 'Goose' Runesword threw a huge bomb downfield to one of the Blockers, who made a concerted effort to run downfield for the rest of the half. This resulted in no points, but at this point the Dwarves were leading in casualties 2-1, and each side had a KO. The second half was dominated by Chaos butterfingers. They were inconsistent in holding the ball, and a few poorly times dice-rolls led to the single point in the game.
Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
Steam = potatoedoughnut
[RPS] Clone High
Rhylok - Cheers for the game, I enjoyed it very much. You underplayed that pass in your write up though - that was a wonderful piece of elfball from the unskilled dwarves. My jaw was on the floorwhen the agi 2 blocker caught it and waddled off towards the End Zone.
The more I learn about Bloodbowl rules, the more I regret being Undead. But I don't regret *having been* undead. But I will be going feral now.
I'm failing to writing a blog, specifically about playing games the wrong way
A 7AV ghoul with no regen is already a target; that's what it's doing with a stat injury in the first place.
Although my Plan A, which was to repeatedly target his wight who was carrying a niggling injury, completely failed and that guy was still on the pitch at the end.
Yeah my wights are a bit tricky both being blodgers, the ghoul will remain in the team since he's quite skilled (and is my mobile guard) but I would be surprised if he lasts the season
Ghouls are such a double edged sword as an undead coach I imagine - wonderful players but they must die like flies...

Georges-Pierre Seurat (French pronunciation: [ʒɔʁʒ pjɛʁ søʁa]; 2 December 1859 – 29 March 1891) was a French Post-Impressionist painter and draftsman. He is noted for his innovative use of drawing media and for devising the technique of painting known as pointillism. His large-scale work A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1884–1886) altered the direction of modern art by initiating Neo-impressionism. It is one of the icons of late 19th-century painting.[1]
Contents |
Biography [edit]
Family and education [edit]
Seurat was born in Paris. His father, Antoine Chrysostome Seurat, originally from Champagne; was a former legal official who had become wealthy from speculating in property, and his mother, Ernestine Faivre, was from Paris.[2]
He first studied art at the Ecole Municipale de Sculpture et Dessin, near his family's home in the boulevard Magenta, which was run by the sculptor Justin Lequien.[3][4] In 1878 he moved on to the École des Beaux-Arts where he was taught by Henri Lehmann, and followed a conventional academic training, drawing from casts of antique sculpture and copying drawings by old masters.[3] His formal artistic education came to an end in November 1879, when he left the École des Beaux-Arts for a year of military service.[4]
After a year at the Brest Military Academy, he returned to Paris where he shared a studio with his friend Aman-Jean, while also renting a small apartment at 16 rue de Chabrol.[5] For the next two years, he worked at mastering the art of monochrome drawing. His first exhibited work, shown at the Salon, of 1883, was a Conté crayon drawing of Aman-Jean.[6] He also studied the works of Delacroix carefully, making notes on his use of color.[3]
Bathers at Asnières [edit]
He spent 1883 working on his first major painting—a huge canvas titled Bathers at Asnières,[7] a monumental work showing young men relaxing by the Seine in a working-class suburb of Paris.[8] Although influenced in its use of color and light tone by Impressionism, the painting with its smooth, simplified textures and carefully outlined, rather sculptural figures, shows the continuing impact of his neoclassical training; the critic Paul Alexis described it as a "faux Puvis de Chavannes".[9] Seurat also departed from the Impressionist ideal by preparing for the work with a number of drawings and oil sketches before starting on the canvas in his studio.[9]
Bathers at Asnières was rejected by the Paris Salon, and instead he showed it at the Groupe des Artistes Indépendants in May 1884. Soon, however, disillusioned by the poor organisation of the Indépendants, Seurat and some other artists he had met through the group – including Charles Angrand, Henri-Edmond Cross, Albert Dubois-Pillet and Paul Signac – set up a new organisation, the Société des Artistes Indépendants.[7] Seurat's new ideas on pointillism were to have an especially strong influence on Signac, who subsequently painted in the same idiom.
A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte [edit]
In the summer of 1884, Seurat began work on A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, which took him two years to complete.
A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte shows members of each of the social classes participating in various park activities. The tiny juxtaposed dots of multi-colored paint allow the viewer's eye to blend colors optically, rather than having the colors physically blended on the canvas. It took Seurat two years to complete this 10-foot-wide (3.0 m) painting, much of which he spent in the park sketching in preparation for the work (there are about 60 studies). It is now in the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Seurat made several studies for the large painting including a smaller version, Study for A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1884–1885), now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York City.[10]
The painting was the inspiration for Stephen Sondheim's musical, Sunday in the Park With George.
Later career [edit]
Later he moved from the Boulevard de Clichy to a quieter studio nearby, where he lived secretly with a young model, Madeleine Knobloch, whom he portrayed in his painting "Jeune femme se poudrant". In February 1890, she gave birth to their son, who was named Pierre Georges.
He spent the summer of 1890 on the coast at Gravelines, where he painted four canvases including The Channel of Gravelines, Petit Fort Philippe, as well as eight oil panels and made a few drawings. [11]
Death [edit]
Seurat died in Paris on 29 March 1891 at the age of 31. The cause of his death is uncertain, and has been variously attributed to a form of meningitis, pneumonia, infectious angina, and diphtheria. His son died two weeks later from the same disease.[12] His last ambitious work, The Circus, was left unfinished at the time of his death.
Color theory [edit]
Contemporary ideas [edit]
During the 19th century, scientist-writers such as Michel Eugène Chevreul, Ogden Rood and David Sutter wrote treatises on color, optical effects and perception. They adapted the scientific research of Helmholtz and Newton into a form accessible to laypeople. Artists followed new discoveries in perception with great interest.
Chevreul was perhaps the most important influence on artists at the time; his great contribution was producing a color wheel of primary and intermediary hues. Chevreul was a French chemist who restored tapestries. During his restorations he noticed that the only way to restore a section properly was to take into account the influence of the colors around the missing wool ; he could not produce the right hue unless he recognized the surrounding dyes. Chevreul discovered that two colors juxtaposed, slightly overlapping or very close together, would have the effect of another color when seen from a distance. The discovery of this phenomenon became the basis for the pointillist technique of the Neoimpressionist painters.
Chevreul also realized that the 'halo' that one sees after looking at a color is the opposing, or complementary, color. For example: After looking at a red object, one may see a cyan echo/halo of the original object. This complementary color (as an example, cyan for red) is due to retinal persistence. Neoimpressionist painters interested in the interplay of colors made extensive use of complementary colors in their paintings. In his works, Chevreul advised artists to think and paint not just the color of the central object, but to add colors and make appropriate adjustments to achieve a harmony among colors. It seems that the harmony Chevreul wrote about is what Seurat came to call "emotion".
It is not clear whether Seurat read all of Chevreul's book on colour contrast, published in 1859, but he did copy out several paragraphs from the chapter on painting, and had read Charles Blanc's Grammaire des arts du dessin (1867),[3] which cites Chevreul's work. Blanc's book was directed at artists and art connoisseurs. Because of color's emotional significance to him, he made explicit recommendations that were close to the theories later adopted by the Neoimpressionists. He said that color should not be based on the "judgment of taste", but rather it should be close to what we experience in reality. Blanc did not want artists to use equal intensities of color, but to consciously plan and understand the role of each hue in creating a whole.
While Chevreul based his theories on Newton's thoughts on the mixing of light, Ogden Rood based his writings on the work of Helmholtz. He analyzed the effects of mixing and juxtaposing material pigments. Rood valued as primary colors red, green, and blue-violet. Like Chevreul, he said that if two colors are placed next to each other, from a distance they look like a third distinctive color. He also pointed out that the juxtaposition of primary hues next to each other would create a far more intense and pleasing color, when perceived by the eye and mind, than the corresponding color made simply by mixing paint. Rood advised artists to be aware of the difference between additive and subtractive qualities of color, since material pigments and optical pigments (light) do not mix in the same way:
- Material pigments: Red + Yellow + Blue = Black
- Optical / Light : Red + Green + Blue = White
Seurat was also influenced by Sutter's Phenomena of Vision (1880), in which he wrote that "the laws of harmony can be learned as one learns the laws of harmony and music".[13] He heard lectures in the 1880s by the as mathematician Charles Henry at the Sorbonne, who discussed the emotional properties and symbolic meaning of lines and color. Henry's ideas were quickly adopted by Seurat.
Science and emotion [edit]
Seurat took to heart the color theorists' notion of a scientific approach to painting. He believed that a painter could use color to create harmony and emotion in art in the same way that a musician uses counterpoint and variation to create harmony in music. He theorized that the scientific application of color was like any other natural law, and he was driven to prove this conjecture. He thought that the knowledge of perception and optical laws could be used to create a new language of art based on its own set of heuristics and he set out to show this language using lines, color intensity and color schema. Seurat called this language Chromoluminarism.
In a letter to Maurice Beaubourg in 1890 he wrote "Art is Harmony. Harmony is the analogy of the contrary and of similar elements of tone, of color and of line, considered according to their dominance and under the influence of light, in gay, calm or sad combinations".[14]
Seurat's theories can be summarized as follows: The emotion of gaiety can be achieved by the domination of luminous hues, by the predominance of warm colors, and by the use of lines directed upward. Calm is achieved through an equivalence/balance of the use of the light and the dark, by the balance of warm and cold colors, and by lines that are horizontal. Sadness is achieved by using dark and cold colors and by lines pointing downward.

This is a tough puzzle, harder than the Brotosaurus in my opinion. After two years I have finally solved it. Whew!
You think you have figured this puzzle out but then you haven't. Progress can be made in steps, but still are not finished. I gave up trying to get the diamond off for a while and concentrated on getting a second diamond on. After some time, I succeeded. But now my puzzle has two diamonds on it and I can't get either off! Tricky. But obviously it is possible.

Fixing Holes
By: Amanda Campbell
Updated: August 30, 2010
Here�s a quick tip that will help you get ready to show your home to prospective homebuyers. Just take some light spackling compound and a putty knife or you can use your finger and fill in the holes. Light compound doesn�t shrink as much as regular compound and it tends to dry quickly.
And once you have the hole filled then just take a dry paintbrush and you can texture the compound. You can texture the filled hole until you get the desired effect.
If you want to do a more thorough job, or if you have bigger holes, fill them in with the light compound. Once the compound is completely dry, sand the wall to a smooth surface. Then get some �texture in a spray can� (you can get this at your local hardware store or home center) and spray over the repaired area in a circular fashion.
Once it�s dry, you can just paint over it by using a two inch paint roller you should be able to get the desired texture you need.
Here are some more tips we found for you when it comes to repairing popping nails on dry wall
The heads of nails used to fasten plasterboard to studs often pop out. This is caused by moisture changes in the studs, which squeeze the nail out.
To fix popped nail heads, you first need to drive additional nails about 2" above and below the popped nail head. Drive the nails, including the popped nail, until a dimple shows around the head. Be sure you hold the plasterboard tight to the stud.
Dust off all loose paint and plaster and fill the dimple with patching plaster using a wide putty knife. Let dry and if patch shrinks re-apply patching plaster.
When the patch is completely dry, you can sand the area with fine sandpaper and then paint.
Here are some tips we found for you for textured ceilings!
Ceilings tend to be the most exposed part of a drywall job. Light thrown across it by ceiling fixtures, really bring out any irregularities in the surface. Walls are usually broken up by furniture, windows, door or wall hangings, so their flaws are a lot less noticeable.
The most common way to treat a ceiling is with a texture to help hide any mistakes.
One treatment used is sometimes referred to as "knockdown." For this you need to rent a sprayer and use it to "splatter" thinned joint compound onto the ceiling. There are also special texturing compounds made just for this purpose.
After the mud sets up a few minutes, you then flattened it with a broad taping knife.
Some people like a more "pebble-like" appearance to the ceilings. For this type of effect, you mix part mud, part paint, and part aggregate, which are small vermiculite-like particles.
This type of texture doesn't get flattened out. But, as with the other texture, it'll still be necessary to scrape the over spray off the walls.
You can also get different ceiling effects by rolling the texture on instead of spraying it. You can even swirl, or "stipple" it with a stiff brush.

One moment you'll hear that NBA team pre-draft workouts don't mean much, they can be just one of many contact points a franchise has with a player, much less game film scouting. The next moment it's considered a "telling sign" when a player doesn't workout for a certain team. Sign of what? Who knows. Are players disinterested? Trying to rig their draft stock? Are teams disinterested? Throwing others off the scent of their desire? Oh the game that's played — what do all the conflicting reports mean Enes Kanter?
Both sides can use the perception of workouts to their advantage. And the media to a certain extent as well, I suppose. If you feed the monster pixels, we all whore for hits. Kemba Walker cancels his workout against Jimmer Ferdette for the Sacramento Kings … speculate amongst yourselves, Internets. Other players, less secure in their draft status, are just jumping into another window of opportunity, perhaps building a resume toward overseas interest. These workouts, just as anything, are all part of the process. Whatever that means.
Last Thursday, June 2, the Wizards worked out six players: Talor Battle (Penn State), Mike Davis (Illinois), Papa Dia (SMU), Austin Freeman (Georgetown), Justin Hurtt (Tulsa), and Ravern Johnson (Mississippi State).
Toward the latter third of the hour and a half session, the media is let in to watch, joining the already studying eyes of team executives overlooking the Verizon Center practice court while Flip Saunders and the coaching staff put the players through drills.

Even though automatic spending cuts by the US government have yet to go into effect, defense contractors in Massachusetts are already laying off employees, freezing salaries, and putting new projects on hold because of uncertainty over the federal budget.
Business executives said the local defense industry is in a state of paralysis, unable to make basic decisions because political leaders in Washington have so far been unable to agree on a budget compromise that would head offsome $46 billion in automatic spending cuts to military programs this year that are scheduled to start taking effect Friday.
liberals are getting what they have dreamed of: reduced defense spending, and a smaller potential military conservatives are getting what they dreamed of: instantly, "smaller government" Of course the average Joe who works in the defense business is going to get screwed. Maybe it will all work out for the better....but no one knows. Z
Zots: Evidently you missed the part in the article about how the wars are winding down? When wars "wind down", there is less demand for military hardware. The taxpayer has no obligation to just keep stockpiling military gear so "average Joe" has a job. That is known as a "jobs program". He is not getting "screwed".
It is the same as if "average Joe" was working in VHS cassette industry, there is no demand, hence no job.
I am a conservative, I see no reason to keep spending on the military unless there is a clearly defined need.
The "Only Cut" is to the automatic funding increases! Anything that got money in the past, like TARP relief, gets an increase whether needed or not! It's the greatest deceit purported on the taxpayers ever!
When The Obama Gang starts withholding essential services to bring pressure to bear on the American people, it is time for Congress to step in and decide where the cuts will take place. Like roads that start nowhere and go to nowhere. Three are many, many programs that can be trimmed back. The federal budget has risen 75% in 10 years, yet there has been virtually no inflation. That increase has gone to bloated federal programs, the wars, etc.
The claim that we need to change SS, Medicare and those kind of programs is BS. They may make up a large percentage of the budget, but the bloat has come in all the other programs the government has inflated and the wars.
The Obama Gang announced they wanted to "fundamentally change America". They are attempting wholesale "social engineering".
BTW, anyone see any articles in this paper about Congress and Obama suspending our 1st amendment rights? Now, anywhere someone goes (not just the prez) with Secret Service can be declared a "free speech zone", violations are a felony.
Evidently our government leaders are not capable of understanding the first words in the 1st amendment:
"Congress shall make no law ......"
How can we expect them to run the country?
Im really disappointed that the Globe has failed to fully researched this subject but appears to be using White House talking points as the sole source of information. I expected the leading New England newspaper to provide a critical assessment of the claims and to put the consequences in perspective - That has been missing from the coverage and I'm hoping it will seperate the bluster from the fact. If in fact, this will result in a 2% reduction in funding its of far lessconseuence than the 2% cut in ordinary incomes that resulted from the Social Security tax increase.
