Just make sure not to use this stylesheet when describing the route towards a distant planet so as to avoid ending up in a smoking crater instead of in the promised land.
instead of the promised land There’s plenty of options out there in the wild black yonder of space. Just try to avoid Europa. Bit of a dispute over land rights with that one.

What are some reasons to use inch units in screen-based CSS, aside from this kind of project? Edit: Removed all sentiment to my profile, leaving a beautifully rational shell of a comment.
If you need to rive a 5cm length in twain and you don't like fractions. Or if you're making a website devoted to larval geometer moths.
125/127 is as much of a fraction as 1/2.
What have I, or those I represent, to do with your national independence? Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us?... What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer; a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. ~ Fredrick Douglas…

~ Frederick Douglass, 1881.
May the United States of America acknowledge what is bad, celebrate what is good, and go on to do greater things in the future.

Welcome back to HNC News. Tonight's top story: US law makers have introduced a new bill that would require all digital displays in the United States to feature a pixel density of 96 ppi. White house officials say the new bill represents "the first step on the march to bring freedom to the cyber world". More on this after the break.
Weirdly, bennettfeely had 1776 karma when I clicked their profile. Conspiracy? Coincidence?

"As I have said, this southern threat lost many votes, but it gained more than would cover the lost. It frightened the timid, but stimulated the brave; and the result was—the triumphant election of Abraham Lincoln."
