The problem is when the departure gate is announced a few minutes before the departure time and is a post code away.

I could deal with legal minds that disagree with me. I could deal with an originalist reading of the constitution. But these people are not that. There is no intellectual honesty, no consistency. Just partisan politics and their own weird hobbyhorses.
Ironically, these are the real activist judges.

A peer reviewed study shows a promising link between flu and shingles vaccines and a reduced risk of dementia. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon’s penis for “further study” says these vaccines cause autism. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Do we just need better bike storage facilities in town. A lock just won’t do.
