Genghis Khan's laws
Genghis Khan developed the Yassa code of laws. There were a lot of laws that existed in the Yassa code, but the most significant are listed below:
- There is only one God
- All religions are to be respected and the government should show no preference to any one religion
- Under penalty of death, no man can proclaim himself to be emperor unless he has been elected by a council of Mongol Nobles
- Homosexuality is punishable by death
- Adultery is punishable by death
- Children of concubines are legitimate and should receive their fair share of heritage from their father
- No subordinate or official of the Mongol Empire is allowed to take a Mongol in as a slave. All men (with rare exceptions) must join the army
- If a soldier pillages during war before the commanding officer has given him permission, he shall be put to death. But after the permission to pillage has been given to the soldier, he shall be given the same opportunity to carry off his loot as the officer.
- Leaders of a religion (preachers, monks, etc.), physicians, and those who bathe the bodies of the dead are to be freed from public charges.
- It is illegal to cut the throats of animals that are to be slain for food. Instead, the animals are to be bound, have their chest opened, and their hearts pulled out and squeezed by the hunter.

"If one must drink, then let one drink thrice a month, for more is bad. If one gets drunk twice a month, it is better; if one gets drunk once a month, that is better still; and if one doesn't drink at all, that is the best of all." -Genghis Khan
Genghis Khan's Laws were heavily influenced by Mongol morality, and philosophy.

John Roberts Laws
21st Century US laws that restrict voter turnout among minorities and people with limited incomes.
In Shelby County v. Holder, 2013, the US Supreme Court declared parts of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 unconstitutional in a 5-4 decision. The majority opinion was written by Chief Justice John Roberts. Only justices appointed by Republican presidents voted to strike down the law.
Chief Justice Roberts later wrote in McCutcheon: There is no right more basic in our democracy than the right to participate in electing our political leaders.
McCutcheon removed aggregate spending limits on campaign contributions.
Linda Greenhouse @ NY Times noted: Roberts's subject then was the right to spend money in politics, not the right to vote. If people conclude that the current Supreme Court majority cares more about the first than the second — surely a logical inference — the court will have entered a dangerous place.
After Shelby, many states with a history of poll bias - previously ended by the Voting Rights Act - passed laws designed to suppress voter turnout. These laws include so-called Voter ID laws, reductions in early voting, and restricting acceptable ID to ID more often held by Republicans - for example, Texas polls accept gun licenses, but not state college ID.
In honor of Chief Justice John Roberts opinion in Shelby, and the similarity of laws that followed to Jim Crow laws, these laws are now known as John Roberts Laws, aka Voter Suppression Laws or the Republican Poll.

Republicans were embarrassed by undemocratically winning a gerrymandered House majority while losing the popular vote for it in an un-American fashion, so they declared a fake mandate and passed a bunch of John Roberts Laws to punish and disenfranchise the people who voted against them.

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

air lats
A condition when a wannabe bodybuilder or muscle man, usually under age 18, think their are lats are bigger than they actually are. The wannabes carry their arms out to the side arched downward in an exagerated fashion pretending they have big muscules. If the lats were truly developed, this would be a normal posture. There is no physiological reason for the arms to stick out if the lats aren't there.
Lats - derived from latissimus dorsi. Back muscules that give males a "V" shape when well developed.
Air - meaning non-existent or invisible.

Back when I lived in upstate new york
A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

TLDU
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
Me: Woah! TLDU!
