There's something really wonderful about that 90s web aesthetic, as tacky and free of design sense as it is.

New England states (incl RI, CT) are a bit of a funny example, though, because of the way they use "towns" in a way that that I (from the midwest) associate more with counties. Across RI, CT, and MA (and maybe the northern states

One example from a few years back was DOMA, which said that the federal government couldn't recognise same-sex marriages even if a state performed them (as they started to do a few years later). Another is No Child Left Behind, a Repub

Not to disagree with anything the OP says, but a language with somewhat more recent currency that shares the "decimals are rationals by default" advantages is Scheme (and Racket and so on). At least in Racket, floating point repr
