My computer is *not* so old, that it can't run Winblows, I simply got
out before it began to make me wonder why I was putting up with it.
Mint is simply the distro that lets me get the full advantage of my

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
