I am so adjective that I verb nouns!
If governments are going to make laws, they need to be consistent in applying them.

I wonder how long it'll be before the deaf sue the recording industry.
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!

In this case they can make money that is useful to the blind.

I remember when in Europe someone asked me, "Your bills are all the same color and size, how can you tell them apart quickly?"

They have a point.

Before we make bills blind-accessibly, how about we make the tax to be included into the price already? I'd much rather pay 5.50 for something than 5.47. It's one (the only) thing that Europe does right! :P
