In my experience Angus King will find a legitimate pebble of gripe in a quarry of legislation and focus on that as cover to block the whole thing.

I don't understand why and must assume he holds private beliefs that do not match his public persona.

He's ancient and needs to go.

I have an antique registered car I drive almost daily in the summer without any issues.

They require you to have another vehicle registered as your primary, other than that not really any other hard and fast rules.

The thing is if you’re registering an actual classic you shouldn’t have any problems, but if you’re just trying to skirt the rules to road drive your crusty square body plow rig you might have some trouble.

When they refer to "transportation of goods and/or passengers" that's the bit where you can get pulled over and ticketed. As I said in my first post, in practice it likely won't be an issue but if there's a cop with a hair across their ass for whatever reason they can choose to be a dick about it and give a ticket.

Even though it was a shit deal, it's because the Carter administration and everyone saw the writing on the wall and knew that Reagan was on his way to fuck the tribes over even worse. That is by no means an excuse, but it is an explanation for why the parties involved at the time accepted these terms. It absolutely needs to change.

I’m done, can’t debate someone who doesn’t follow basic definitions of words. A part of someone’s face is not someone’s whole face. The skin is not able to rip off the face by being pulled in one specific spot, it’s literally not possible. Another breed of dog can rip a face off because of the way they bite. But pits bite and then stay biting, to rip a face off would require multiple bites. Omg and now you believe a dog can rip a head off a human, you are just straight up delusional

>Again no pitbull has ever ripped off a face. Those are very clearly exaggerations. A pitbull can disfigure a face and take skin off, but it can not “rip off a face”

These are not "exaggerations." The "skin" of the face is the face! There's something seriously wrong with you, but then if there wasn't, you wouldn't be bragging about taking your damned dog into stores where dogs do not belong!

Pit bulls have also ripped off people's heads.

The largest source of methane emissions is not agriculture, its the fossil fuel industry.

Edit: There is a relationship between the two as well, animals need to be transported multiple time for slaughter/processing/packaging. Energy has to be spent to maintain safe temperatures throughout for proper cold-chain handling.

The dog could be trained to alert the owner of low blood sugar or of an upcoming seizure. There are many other types of disabled people than just the ones that can’t see. Maybe the owner is deaf and has the dog to alert them of loud noise, which it can definitely do in a stroller. Yes, in most instances dogs in strollers wouldn’t be service dogs, but it is a real possibility.
