...Still, proponents of a lower MLDA persist with this “forbidden fruit” speculation and some fallacious comparisons. For instance, shouldn’t a country that sends 18-year-olds to war also let them drink? Perhaps other minimum ages deserve amendment, but the bottom line of this one remains safety and responsibility.

...myopic hard-liner when elected, Benedict might become the Pope of progress in Christian-Muslim relations. Veith Ruehling Augsburg, Germany Neuhaus made the most important point of all when he said, "Mosques proliferate throughout cities in the West, while any expression of non-Islamic religion is strictly forbidden in many Muslim countries." No matter what moral failures we find in the "Christianized" West, people have the freedom to exercise their faith and religion.

The Identity Project, a privacy-rights group, has alleged that the ATS data collection is illegal. It claims that "Congress has expressly forbidden the DHS from spending a penny on any system like this to assign risk scores to airline passengers, and that the Privacy Act forbids any Federal agency from collecting information about how we exercise rights protected by the First Amendment - like our right to travel - except as expressly directed...

...tedious regulations governing the Undergraduate Council (UC) presidential election, the restrictions on electronic communications stand out for their inanity. Under rules issued by the Election Commission (EC), campaign personnel are forbidden from sending out unsolicited e-mails, e-mails to open lists, or e-mails to anyone with whom they lack a “reasonable familiarity or connection.” The utter impracticality of enforcing these rules in a meaningful and equitable way creates perverse incentives that undermine the integrity of campaigns. UC elections would be better off without these bans...
