Showering: I'm probably doing it wrong.

In an effort to keep children from dying in hot cars, three lawmakers have introduced a bill that would require car manufacturers to integrate technology capable of warning adults that there’s still a child in the backseat. U.S. Representatives Tim Ryan (OH), Peter King (NY), and Jan Schakowsky (IL) introduced the Helping Overcome Trauma for Children Alone in Rear Seats Act (HOT CARS Act of 2016) [PDF] today.

We already have that technology: It's called a parent.

How much would this add to the cost of a new vehicle, I wonder?

(And I love the tip to put your cellphone or purse in the back seat as a reminder that there's a kid back there. It just emphasizes the importance of various things in people's lives.)

STANFORD PROFESSOR ON CONSTITUTION DAY: FOLLOWING THE FOUNDERS IS ‘DUMB.’

Ahh, the return of the Raj Koothrappali approach to Constitutional Law. I hope he’s thought through the implications of how that could end.

I would guess the person in question has thought about the implications, and feels he will not end up like Robespierre.

About Kevin's item, I have two responses:

1. can we pass a law that says that if you have to contort yourself into mobius loops to come up with a clever acronym for your bill that by default it will not be heard, read, or passed? same for laws named for people?

2. instead of putting the technology into the cars and making those of us who are childless pay for more gizmos we have no need, why not put it into the fucking child seats? that way, if some strange reason I'm transporting a child, the cost is born by the parents?

Oh, right, it takes a village.

Interesting...its a UK article behind a paywall, so I don't know the particulars, but I remain...skeptical. Unless this is pushback on the notion of you will be made to care.

Teenagers oppose gay marriage and shun tattoos

And, of course, the only people who get to say "it takes a village" are the parents. I.e., when store employees have had enough of little kids' bad behavior and yell at them about it (and maybe make them cry as a result), THEY don't get to say "well, you parents wanted a village, so we're just doing the parenting, since you're clearly not."

You shouldn't get without giving.

Or maybe they're just rebelling against their parents' beliefs, for the moment?

Reminds me of "The Graduate." Director Mike Nichols said: "I think Benjamin will end up like his parents."

And many rebellious boomers did just that, eventually.

I should have said "they no longer GET to say...etc."

Another example: Teachers used to be able to count on parents to take their side. If a teacher disciplined a student and complained to the parent, the parent would likely give the kid an extra punishment. If the teacher DIDN'T contact the parent, but the kid was foolish enough to complain, the parent would likely say: "And what did you do that made the teacher punish you?"

You can't count on that, these days.

Katha Pollitt on the French ban on "burkinis":

Tip: If you're going to read it, do not jump back and forth to read other articles - it doesn't take long before they force you to subscribe.

From the second quarter:

"I actually agree with the critique of veiling...Moreover, there are valuable aspects to France's much-criticized policy of laïcité, the rigorous denial of a public role for religion, especially as compared with (the U.S.)..."

And from the last quarter:

"Even if you think Islamic garb—or Orthodox wigs, or fundamentalist-Mormon prairie dresses—is a fashion prison, it doesn't follow that banning it is the path to liberation. In fact, it does the opposite: It fetishizes Islamic covering as a communal identity marker and turns it into a way of poking the majority culture in the eye. It also further marginalizes Muslim women. Not men, who dress as they please with no awkward questions about whether they truly want to sport that beard or crocheted skullcap. In France, street attacks on women in Muslim dress have increased since the niqab ban. A Muslim woman in a head scarf can’t work in a government job. According to a recent legal ruling, she can even be denied a job in a day-care center lest she give toddlers the wrong idea about a woman’s place. Prime Minister Valls even wants to ban the head scarf from universities. This isn’t feminism; it’s cultural panic..."

@IRA, here's a summary of that paywalled article:

Oh, Lenona, you're singing my song.

Today "it takes a village" to pay for the little rotters, but no village input is allowed.

To be fair Kevin no parent input is allowed either. Who is the most famous for saying 'It takes a village'? I'd say Hillary. Someone with one kid and not exactly a parent's advocate. 'It takes a village' is code for the government is going to take over. No kids necessary.
