Belgium’s Future in Its Past

In June 2006, a 54-year old Flemish train conductor called Guido Demoor got on the Number 23 bus in Antwerp to go to work. Six – what’s that word again? – “youths” boarded the bus and commenced intimidating the other riders. There were some 40 passengers aboard. But the “youths” were youthful and the other passengers less so. Nonetheless, Mr Demoor asked the lads to cut it out and so they turned on him, thumping and kicking him. Of those 40 other passengers, none intervened to help the man under attack. Instead, at the next stop, 30 of the 40 scrammed, leaving Mr Demoor to be beaten to death.

Parents and childrenThe New Hampshire Legislature is preparing to vote on a bill tomorrow that legalizes a form of gender and viewpoint discrimination. Here’s how it works.

If your child (anyone under the age of 18) has wondered whether or not they are, in fact, heterosexual it could be illegal under HB 1661 for any “professional” to counsel them in any way that would encourage that–for lack of a better word–journey to their biological roots. The bill also prohibits any and all state-funded support for this purpose.

But if your child wondered if they may in fact “be” something other than heterosexual, counseling them in any way that does not encourage that journey, would definitely be illegal under HB1661.

A GoBankingRates.com survey (fixed link) awarded New Hampshire the honor of being the cheapest state in the nation to own a car. This cost of ownership is based on expenses in the first three years after you buy so no, the purchase-price is not part of the calculus. But according to GoBankingRates.com, U.S. car owners will pay an additional $11,227 on average to buy and own a car for three years on taxes, title and other point-of-purchase fees, registration fees, gas, car insurance, and other maintenance costs.
