Boy, if you want proof there are no editors at The Root, just read this article.

My front door weld cracked off on a ‘95 two-door Cherokee—quick fix for the local welder...cheap, too. (body shops passed on it due to liability, I guess)

If I’m reading this correctly, you were advertising this Jeep to the general public for $7,000. Someone offered you your asking price. You refused and offered it to a different buyer for $6,500 plus fixing the springs.

The 24th Amendment prohibits a poll tax. Whether requiring a state issued ID to vote, and paying a fee for the ID constitutes a poll tax is a good question. More to the point, I think this issue is easily addressed by not charging a fee. For example, Virginia issues a free id for use in voting--I don’t know how many…

My point being that you already had to get an ID to get a job, thus mooting the argument that getting an ID requires taking time off of work.

In order to get a new job, Federal law requires identification be presented within 3 days.

Both of whom work for the same government, and ought to be working this out.

This is not the kind of issue about which there should be doubt. It is a question of discernable fact. Given how heavily regulated telecommunications and air transport both are, there can be no way this should be an unknown before the switch is flipped.  What do  the FAA and FCC have to say about this?

No, I believe everyone eligible to vote should be able to do so. Why is getting an ID sometimes impossible for minorities?  

How would you know whether I have anything to offer given that you refused to read the comment? And what was the point in originally engaging with my comment if you don’t care about my opinion?

I was just commenting to my family that I feel cheated. As a boy in the 1980's reading science fiction written in the 1950's, by the year 2022 I expected not only flying cars, but lunar colonies and the terraforming of moons around other planets. What do we have from the science fiction promises of my youth? Freaking…

Loyal One, I did as you suggested and googled voter suppression. One of the top hits--which appeared to be representative of the other results and was from a credible source--was an ACLU summary of the major forms of what they termed voted suppression entitled “Block the Vote: How Politicians are Trying to Block…

This is a very interesting article. First, in the discussion about generational blacks vs. immigrants, it suggests that the issue is less about race than it’s about culture. In effect, the article suggests that the second generation children of Nigerian surgeons who emigrated to the US have essentially nothing in…

Requiring that people prove they are eligible to vote when registering to vote, requiring people to prove their identity when they vote, and reducing the window for voting by mail is not voter suppression.

I’ve never understood why Hollywood types bother to get married at all. It just results in more red tape and trouble to resolve. They managed to go from 2005- 2017 unmarried—the only real difference to getting married at that point is a hodge podge of legal stuff.

I guess I don’t see why the Root cares so much about the transgender issue. How does this issue affect the black community generally?

Wake up, Rawls. The reality is that both the R’s and D’s have lied to each other about the filibuster depending on who is in power. Every politician who’s been in Washington for 15 or more years has taken diametrically opposed but equally pious positions on the filibuster. You can do a film reel of Schuster,…

I’ve read several articles on this, and none of them seem to state what evidence, other than the footage you reference, the family feels was not presented.  Do we know what their specific concerns are?

It is also a good way of learning from Darwinian outcomes...(don’t run into strange caves without your spear, etc.)

I always insisted that passengers speak politely to my 1988 Grand Marquis. A little courtesy goes a long way toward keeping automotive gremlins at bay...and she was still going strong in 2004 when I had to sell her...
