>> You don't see that much in the Baby Boomer generation, unfortunately. No, you don't. It is at least one reason why I oppose the minimum wage. Kids need to work as it helps keep them from growing up lazy. For me it was very motivational; I knew damned well I didn't want to spend my life doing the kind of work my dad did. Nothing wrong with it but the work is hard and stressful and dirty and not much fun. Before he sold the family business to my brother he asked me if I wanted a piece of it. I told him, "Dad, I've breaded enough onion rings for a lifetime." My daughter was always a hard worker from the time she was in junior high. My son, OTOH, didn't learn what work was until he went in the military; I think that was an eye-opener...

Judge Strikes Down Texas Abortion Law HIGH-PROFILE NEW LAW DEEMED 'UNCONSTITUTIONAL' By Neal Colgrass, Newser Staff newser.com Posted Oct 28, 2013 3:34 PM CDT (NEWSER) – In one swift ruling, a federal judge struck down a Texas abortion law that had sparked weeks of protests and a high-profile filibuster, the Houston Chronicle reports. US District Judge Lee Yeakel issued a 26-page order saying that a key provision—requiring abortion providers to have admitting privileges in hospitals—was unconstitutional. The provision "places a substantial obstacle in the path of a woman seeking an abortion of a nonviable fetus and is thus an undue burden to her," wrote Yeakel. "The court concludes that admitting privileges have no rational relationship to improved patient care," she added. Yeakel also struck down a statute that added restrictions on pregnancy-terminating drugs, saying it took away viable health option. The statute "is an undue burden on those women for whom surgical abortion is ... a significant health risk," she wrote. Yeakel's ruling came after three days of trial testimony in Austin, and a day before the law was set to kick in. Higher courts will no doubt make the final decision, the Chronicle notes.
