Some of the violations are paperwork-related, like failing to file an emissions report on time. But an inspection also found some issues with Prima's petroleum storage tanks.

At least in NH, the problem with Prima's start seems to only be profitability, not CLF and other opposition. This bill with opposition support (https://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/bill_status/billinfo.aspx?id=959&inflect=2) wants to tighten advanced recycling regulation, though.

Hope the librarians quit. I have an MLS and I would. So much for live free. The people who are afraid to live free are trying to control the state. Glad I moved. It’s really gone downhill the past few years between the state and local legislators and the free staters. NH used to be a state where everyone had a vote but no more.

2 things: 1: In the time it took you to type this Karen rant out which literally says just, nothing, you could have googled “footloose” and gotten all the info you needed to understand this cultural reference. 2: The fact someone used a cultural reference you didn’t get offended you so much you had to type out a bitchy rant about how you didn’t get it? I’ll bet your family rues thanksgiving dinner with you.

Kid:” This gravy is the bomb!” U/gmcgath :”I don’t see how this gravy has any relation to explosives nor do I think it’s appropriate to reference such things during dinner. Please keep your compliments to a simple statement using common adjectives.”

I think we need to start talking like we'll give these Yahoo's what they want. /s

Remove obscene books? Ban the Bible as it has some pretty graphic pornographic sections. And don't get me started on whether the Son of Solomon is to a young boy or not.

The Bible has:

  • incest
  • paedophilia
  • polygamy

Virginity important to you? Let's have detailed lessons on how they confirm a woman is a virgin, along with training videos and detailed anatomical drawings.

Let's bring this up in every single hearing we can go to. This idiocy must stop and only we can do it.

I remember that! It was the longest winter ever - first major snowstorm was in October 2002 and was a 13" storm, last one of that season was mid-May 2003 and another 13" storm. Of course it snowed that bad that year, I had moved in June 2002 and had to drive 45 minutes to work as opposed to 25 minutes, lol. Never in my life have I ever seen it snow in May, never mind that much.

Your post sounds like you think this bill is a good idea with some flaws. I hope I misread it, but your example of the possible upside is straight out of the fear mongering playbook. Hyperbole aside, what books are you worried about? Are there examples of schools in NH stocking inappropriate books? I haven't read anything, thus why I call it unfounded fear mongering.

If you find something objectionable in the school library, start with a conversation. We don't need a law to protect us from a made up scenario.

Typical extreme right wing tactics. They have to remove books like this, because educating children goes against everything they believe in.

They need an uneducated population to continue the insane path they are on.

I just cant stand Holden. Hes a whiny baby and one of the most annoying narrators to follow. Every other description of someone is calling them a "phoney" for some usually unjustified reason. Hes obscenely cynical of the world and everyone else in it, to the point where hes not even fun to follow. You are almost rooting for bad things to happen to him because hes one of the few protagonists that ive felt earns his misfortune and unhappiness.

The only takeaway I got out of CITR was to try my hardest not to turn into Holden Caulfield. If that was Salingers goal, then ill backtrack and say its actually a decent book.

Also, in one of the early chapters, he uses his prep school mattress as a fleshlight, and i think thats just kinda gross lol.

I have no idea what Footloose is or was, and I have no motivation to research it just to figure out what your point is there. But thanks for linking to the bill itself. Neither upvoting nor downvoting.

Figuring out what a bill like this says is complicated, with its negations of negations (typical of bills changing existing RSAs). As I read it, it would remove a protection from schools below the higher-education level, subjecting them more easily to obscenity charges. Given the current atmosphere of gratuitous obscenity claims, it's a bad bill.

Please, next time, don't assume people know all your cultural references.
