 BBC NEWS | Have Your Say | Should France repeal the headscarf ban?
The ban by France against all religious symbols should be applauded, nowhere in the Koran does it say a woman must or should cover her head; except when entering a holy place.
Banning the headscarf is a violation of the freedom to manifest one's religion or beliefs and it in no way threatens the secularism of French schools.
The ban is not on headscarves, it is on all religious ornamentation.

 washingtonpost.com: Staring Down the Barrel of The NRA
The mythology ignores the fact that many moderate suburban voters have moved the Democrats' way over the past decade because they have been turned off by the GOP's stand on a panoply of social issues, including guns, the environment and abortion.
Here is a chance to move the gun debate away from the vague terrain of "pro-gun" vs. "anti-gun" to a concrete discussion of a measure that 57 percent of those with a gun in their household and 32 percent of NRA members support.
In the meantime, supporters of the weapons ban have to fight the ultimate sleight of hand from the other side: that the law is not broad enough to make a real difference.

 WowEssays.com - Partial Birth Abortions
Although these bans are characterized as a single, late procedure, the bans are in fact not limited to any stage of pregnancy.
Federal and state courts have found the bans are unconstitutional for their wide-reaching prohibition on the safest, most common methods of abortion; for the harm they impose on women’s health by restricting physician discretion; and for their vagueness.
After reviewing evidence that the language of the bans reach most methods of abortion, a court in Iowa held that the ban in that state was “unconstitutional as a matter of law” (ACLU).

 Private Mythology
Like the public mythology, this private restating of the Constitution and the First Amendment is also false, but at least it represents "the way things are" - in large part because the myth is seen as "the way it is".
The purveyors of the private mythology are here to tell them they're wrong, though not about their extension of a restriction on Federal law to all law, as we'll see.
While the public mythology seeks to expand the First Amendment protection beyond the language on the paper, the private mythology seeks to diminish the protection on the paper.

 Ban that ban
In Kashmir, where it is most watched, militants have responded by banning cable television altogether, clearly not achieving the purpose for which it was put in place.
Instead, the ban has deprived Pakistan-watchers of a valuable source of information, forcing them to rely on secondary sources such as BBC and CNN, which often recycle PTV World broadcasts.
Anyone who has followed the reports of foreign correspondents on the Kargil war will find that the ban on independent travel to the areas of operation did not prevent them from writing thetruth as they saw it.

So please allow me to explain: A ban si (pronounced ban and she) was always said to be an oldish woman, not really from this world, but from another world connected to this one, through historical links.
The ban si was an integral part of Irish rural life and when she was heard wailing, then everyone knew that a friend would be passing over to the other side.
Where the ban si was a precursor for an impending death, a leprechaun could be relied upon to alleviate the hardship, and believe me, the Irish went through their fair share of it.

Accordingly, the Court stated that partial-birth abortion cannot be banned before the child reaches “viability,” or even after viability without the usual, eviscerating “health” exception.
Now that these 17 are on record as themselves opposing (the current Supreme Court’s version of) Roe, by having voted to ban partial-birth abortion, it will be interesting to observe their attempts to explain why they themselves are “fit to serve” and the nominees are not.

 VPC - Unsafe in Any Hands: Why America Needs to Ban Handguns
The call to ban handguns is not inspired by a generalized hatred of guns.
The mythology woven around the handgun by the gun lobby clouds the reality that a handgun is a consumer product that ought to be judged and regulated by the same standards applied to all other products.
Federal bans on machine guns as well as city ordinances banning handgun possession have remained on the books for decades—despite vigorous court challenges.

The United Nations' General Assembly in New York narrowly voted to postpone any ban on human cloning until 2005 on Thursday, leading many scientists around the world to breathe a sigh of relief.
The main alternative to the two-year moratorium was a Costa Rican-led blanket ban on both human reproductive and therapeutic cloning, backed by the US government and 43 other countries.
But until it is banned worldwide, "safe havens for unscrupulous scientists" will remain, says Bernard Siegel, director of the Human Cloning Policy Institute in Florida.

International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) was formally launched in October of 1992, few imagined that the grassroots movement would capture the public imagination and build political pressure to such a degree that, within five years, the international community would come together to negotiate a treaty banning antipersonnel landmines.
When it announced that the International Campaign to Ban Landmines had been awarded the 1997 Nobel Prize for Peace, the Nobel Committee recognized not only the achievement of the ban, but also the promise of the model created with the ban movement.
And throughout it all, NGO were in the negotiations; their mere presence helped insure that the will of civil society for a true ban would have less chance of being thwarted by compromise.

On the other hand, the goverment plan is unlikely to stunt the earnings growth of tobacco companies like ITC as they have already set up sub brands to promote their flagship brands.
Meanwhile, in its first comment since the government banned public smoking and advertising, ITC said that it is not opposed to the govenment move, but cautioned the government against rampant smuggling of cigarette brands.
Some Indian states have already banned smoking in public places and tobacco companies are already banned from advertising their products on television, including satellite TV.

 Campaign finance reform loses again
In Greek mythology, Sisyphus was sent to Hades, eternally cursed to roll a boulder up a hill almost reaching the pinnacle, only to see it inevitably roll back down to the trough again.
Near-misses are also the fate du jour for reformers: it took a dog's age to get the House on board with even the watery Shays-Meehan bill, which passed last year and this; now the effort inches toward a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate.
The soft money ban was even wimpier, stripped of Shays-Meehan's most controversial clauses (concerning issue advocacy ads), but it too went belly up.

 Rich Lowry: An assault on common sense   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Such is the logic behind a Democratic push to prevent the assault-weapons ban from expiring next year, and even to broaden it.
It was obvious at the time of the ban's passage in 1994 that it couldn't possibly have any effect on crime as advertised, which it hasn't.
The assault-weapons ban was a product of the manufactured label "assault weapons." It's a wonder that other advocates haven't duplicated the experience by forging similar labels for things they want to ban.

U.S. cattle are "at risk of spreading" mad cow disease because of weaknesses in a federal government program to keep certain kinds of banned animal protein out of cattle feed, Congressional investigators said in a report made public today.
The ban was established to keep infectious prions out of cattle feed.
FDA acknowledges that there are more feed manufacturers and transporters, on-farm mixers, and other feed industry businesses that are subject to the feed ban than the approximately 14,800 firms inspected to date; however, it has no uniform approach for identifying additional firms.

While the RSS was banned and Sangh supremo Balasaheb Deoras was put behind bars, he like Golwalkar in 1948-49, “...quickly opened channels of communi-cation with the Emergency regime, writing fairly ingratiating letters to Indira Gandhi in August and November 1975 that promised cooperation for lifting a ban [on RSS].
To save his organisation from the onslaught of the Emergency, the RSS chief was ready to declare that if the ban against his organisation were lifted, his men would be at the service of the regime.

Around the village of Ban Tawai the paddy fields are now grazed by wandering herds of Water Buffalo, while local farmers are turning from rice growing to wood carving to support their families.
The high quality carvings coming from Ban Tawai are quickly gaining an international reputation, and are now being shipped all over the world by the container load.
Many of Ban Tawai’s carving enterprises are small family businesses, producing their carvings on low-tech production lines.  Each family member performs a different step in the production process, while tourists walk easily through the open-aired workshops, watching the carver’s chisel, sand, and paint the carvings.

 icWales - Assembly 'has legal right to ban GM'
In his report, Banning GM by Law, Dr Stagman cites a series of UK and EU legal provisions which he claims could be used to fend off any legal challenge to a ban:
UK food safety and health legislation can be used to justify banning GM by law, for example the Food Safety Act 1990 which prohibits "the carrying out of such operations with respect to genetically modified food sources, or foods derived from such food sources.
Regulation 258/97/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers condemns "foods and food ingredients" that "present a danger to the consumer", "mislead the consumer" or are "nutritionally disadvantageous for the consumer".
