Please, can someone direct me to specific part of your constitution that
requires the government mandate "minimum sound levels" for horseless carriages? How many deaf pedestrians have been run over by "quiet" cars? 1, maybe? Un-fucking-believable. |

I believe that here in GA there is still a law on the books that requires the operator of a horseless carriage to fire a pistol into the air before crossing an intersection of two roads. There is also a law that requires all able bodied men to carry a rifle with them to church services. |

You know how a train sounds maybe the electric cars should be required to make a sound with a similar rhythm. I think they should go… “fuckobamafuckobamafuckobamafuckobamafuckobamafuckobama”
Just a thought. |

I see brail on a restroom sign, but how in the hell do blind people even know the direction to get to a building, let alone find a restroom sign with brail that is 1/2inch tall. How many actually know brail? |

Ooops seen its already been posted above
forgot this one http://www.asha.org/News/Advocacy/2010/Congress-Passes-Quiet-Commercials-Bill/ On December 2, 2010, the U.S. House of Representatives passed S.2847, the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act (CALM). The bill requires the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) to develop regulations that will end the practice of broadcasters increasing the volume of television advertisements as a means of getting the consumers' attention. The bill has already passed in the Senate, and now goes to the White House to be signed into law by President Obama. |

That commercial made me turn the volume down 6 levels on my tv. |

It covers 99.99% of all activity within the country. The interstate commerce clause was intended to prevent states from participating in commerce wars. The power was given to the federal government to pass laws that prevented New York from putting a tariff on goods from Maine, for example. It was not intended to give the federal government the authority to regulate anything that affects commerce in another state. |
