   But this also conveniently ignores the fact that the same brand of blue-fearing SC republican also dominates the NC state legislature [0]. I can imagine NC easily passing a similar law in an after hours closed door special session. So the m

   In English in The South in the USA, often "can" and "can't" are pronounced the same ("can") with a minor difference in the way the "a" and "n" are held.

    I think many would agree that The Road movie isn't good, which is why I highly recommend reading the book. McCarthy's unique writing style lends itself to the material in a way movies can't capture.

    6% for a US private education loan? How does 9% sound instead? My best investments are the raises I get when paying off my student loans ahead of schedule.
