• Flip Flop On Gaza and the Supreme court

  2008-01-28 13:45:26

  The situation is laughable at best at best last week when hundreds of thousands of Gazans crossed the Rafah border crossing. What first started as a half hearted response to continued rocket fire on Israel turned into a rush for the gates at Rafah which by itself is not a bad thing for them to leave Gaza. To make things even more laughable Friday the PM decided to tell Abbas that he promised not to do it again. There are also reports now that Israel is restoring Gaza's fuel supply. This while rockets reign down on the South. The Prime Minister of Israel does not even have the courage to shut of power to Gaza from Israel even though Israel provides 80% of the power to Gaza. Shut off the power in Gaza and the rockets will stop. But Olmert is afraid of the US, the EU, the courts which have agreed to hear complaints about the Gaza mini blockade, and Abbas. Speaking of the courts Supreme Court President Dorit Beinisch met with the US Ambassador in Tel Aviv at the request of the a

  What could possibly be the reason why the Judges are dragging their feet as to a decision on the Second Amendment in the U.S. Consitution? Perhaps they received so many e-mails from people like myself who are just plain sick and tired of gun violence in our country and feel that less than lethal weaponry as a form of personal self-defense would be a much more humane way to go from this day forward? I can only hope so. READ ABOUT THIS HEREPractice non-violence in your lives. You will be leaving your children a beautiful legacy.

• Supreme Court Wantonly Promotes Drug Use

  2007-06-26 21:32:47

  When the Supreme Court ruled yesterday that a public school principal had the right to restrict the free speech of a student in a public setting outside the classroom, it justified its anti-free-speech ruling by claiming a higher priority: preventing the spread of pro-drug messages. You see, said the Supreme Court, the public interest is served by quashing whatever might be possibly interpreted as expressing a pro-drug sentiment, so not only is the right of someone to express that possibly pro-drug sentiment is overruled, but a person expressing a possibly pro-drug sentiment can be punished, too. A reasonable person would not conclude that the words “Bong Hits 4 Jesus” really express the notion that, if Jesus returns any day now, we should lend him our water pipe. A reasonable person capable of some reflection would not conclude that the words “Bong Hits 4 Jesus” are a sincere suggestion that good Christian folk should get high as often as possible if they l
