Where does this guy get the nerve? How does a court set up this potential?



I find this shocking on several levels.

^ What, you disagree with i8acobra? Uhm, ever heard of MIT (recently ranked as #1 engineering school in the WORLD)? Harvard? A sh*t ton of medical schools and bioengineering labs? Dana-Farber Cancer Institute?



Also a state with one of the lowest percentages of people depending on government benefits, and one among the ones with the highest federal tax collections per capita?



Yeah, I guess we suck it bad over here.



By the way, I had read that there are a lot of problems with the laws around rapists and visitation rights and such in most states.

No, I don't. I agreed with him, which is a rare occurrence. I feel like something must be wrong with me
