Hey, before even looking I could also predict the legislature was mostly Republican... turns out they *all* are: <https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/OK>. I admit, I did not know this, but when something this dumb is passed you can be quite certain it is from Republicans, even without looking (not that it is not good to verify!) The Democrats are *far* from perfect. Very far. But the Republicans have gone out of their way to be absolutely insane. This law is insane. This law is a Republican law. -- * Mint MATE: Trash, Panel, Menu: <http://youtu.be/C0y74FIf7uE> * Mint KDE bugs or Easter eggs? <http://youtu.be/CU-whJQvtfA> * Mint KDE working with folders: <http://youtu.be/7C9nvniOoE0> * Mint KDE creating files: <http://youtu.be/N7-fZJaJUv8> * Mint KDE help: <http://youtu.be/3ikizUd3sa8> * Mint KDE general navigation: <http://youtu.be/t9y14yZtQuI> * Mint / LibreOffice: <http://youtu.be/USU9iqppfto> * Win 8 / Word 2013: <http://youtu.be/z8gUL2TCcV4> * Mavericks / Pages 5.1: <http://youtu.be/D3BPWANQoIk>
