    Well, without procreation, they won't have to worry about any of the rest of that list, will they?

    @Doctor-Phibes said in VDH on Trump's Fascism: @Jolly said in VDH on Trump's Fascism: @Doctor-Phibes said in VDH on Trump's Fascism: I was having a meal with a customer before the 2016 election, and he came out and said in all seriousness that Hillary was a Communist. I'm afraid that I laughed. The guy said grace before the meal, too, which is a bit obnoxious at a business lunch that I'm paying for. I say Grace. You call me on it, and you won't have to worry about the business meal. You can have your business. I was of course too polite to say anything. I'm happy for you to say grace, however assuming that everybody else wants to join in, and really not giving us the option to do otherwise, is pretty rude. Particularly when I was the one taking him out for the meal. I work with some pretty devout RC's, and they thought it was flat-out weird. I don't think you have to preach over it, but Grace will be said. Roman Catholics may do what they deem appropriate. I think if Father Jones had said Grace before the meal, they wouldn't have batted an eyelash.

    Once the act is done doing otherwise is foolish. However, if she decided not to apply for that reason I would respect it.

    What about the states? They wouldn't have the standing to prevent the implementation but they could have the standing to ask for a delay in implementation. If states are going to tax this as income, then it will have an impact on income-based financial aid including need-based scholarships and grants. Requesting a 3-4 month injunction to allow them to reevaluate their financial aid packages would certainly be reasonable.

    Upgrades do not concern me as much as easy repairability.

    That does not surprise me one bit, Aqua. The Ren Fest starts this weekend up near me. Might go on a later weekend. Love The Mud Show.
