I read this article and was somewhat amused: PHOENIX, Arizona (AP) -- Fetuses do not count as passengers when it comes to determining who may drive in the carpool lane, a judge has ruled.
Candace Dickinson was fined $ 367 for improper use of a carpool lane.
But Dickinson, pregnant when she received the ticket, contended her unborn child qualified to use the lane.
Motorists who use the lanes normally must carry at least one passenger during weekday rush hours.
Municipal Judge Dennis Freeman rejected Dickinson's argument Tuesday, applying a "common sense" definition in which an individual is someone who occupies a "separate and distinct" space in a vehicle.
"The law is meant to fill empty space in a vehicle," the judge said.
Sgt. Dave Norton stopped Dickinson's car November 8. When asked how many people were in the car, Dickinson said two, pointing to "her obvious pregnancy," the officer said.
Norton said Dickinson's theory "would require officers to carry guns, radios and pregnancy testers, and I don't think we want to go there."
In the live clip, Candice went so far as to "define" a person.. but it made me think- if courts define unborn children as passenger in a car-- how far would a "Pro Life" person go to use the case against the abortion argument?

Has anybody seen this movie? I've lapsed into a sort of loop where I keep watching it over and over again, especially the scenes with Hank Azaria who plays the French scuba instructor who is absolutely hilarious! Jennifer Aniston represening the Aquarian
Taurus is a Fixed Sign - but so are Leo, Aquarius, and Scorpio, and no one thinks they're boring! Taurus is a very peaceful sign, and is amused by simple, unsophisticated, natural things. Taurus types find pleasure in the sensuality of touch, the war
I just wanted to run this past you guys-- since you're the more talkative bunch on dxp.... I pretty much have my own ideas, but I wanted to get your take:
Essentially, I love my job. The people are nice, the work is somewhat challenging-but I don
what do you all think of signs and there attraction to the sign next in line, ive found lots of people who arent cusps who are attracted to the next sign in line .... what do you aquas think?
My latest experience with Aquarians is that they are as sensitive as we are. They try to protect their sensitivity throught aloof behaviours. That kinda gives them some sort of protections. Yes, same like we are.
Ok, not sure if anyone remembers, but back around March this year, me & a long missing love got together and he (the aqua) said stuff like having my move to where he is & get married & that he will wait but that he wants that. We fell into bed that night.
I wanna know a few things from all you Aqua folks...
I am pretty sure now that my twins will be Aquas because 83% of all twin pregnancies do not go to term and although I am technically due March 10...I am sure I won't go all the way.
