You’re ok with me losing my rights then, and for that I sincerely resent you.

Religion has very flawed ideas regarding community, however. It always results in a hierarchical structure and works to exclude those who don’t abide by its values.

It is possible to be a good, selfless person and be religious, but I don’t think it’s possible to have religion without enabling power-grabbing, insular practices too.

My gut had me wanting to say the same thing, but looking at the age ranges, this actually seems reasonable and in line with how many other countries operate. By 6 years old, students in the US are in first grade, for example. Kindergarten a year or two prior as well, which is also compulsory in some states.

You’re Mormon and you call yourself a socialist?

Socialism is the antithesis of religion.

Oh no, someone please think about the poor white millionaire’s feelings.

Sure, but also worth noting that some prisons are federally run, a state wouldn’t have the jurisdiction to ban something that the fed controls. That is why reform needs to come from the top, not just at the state level.

Agreed

Not a battery but sure, that’s what I was suggesting.

I think the text is pretty direct about permitting it. If it is listed as an exception to that which shall not exist, then it is explicitly allowed to exist.

It’s not a de-facto exception by omission, it is named as permissable within the text of the amendment.

So what other kind of battery would a pager be using that might explode if not lithium? Hydrogen cell?
