having lost all respect for

having lost all respect for the supreme court when they took the vote out of the hands of the people and awarded the election to bush(the outcome of the vote recount is of little importance, because the issue is who decided, the people or the court). they now have become even more tainted as seen by un-justice kennedy's actions in the school drug testing case now before them:

But most surprising was Justice Kennedy's implied slur on the plaintiffs in the case. He had posed to Mr. Boyd the hypothetical question of whether a district could have two schools, one a "druggie school" and one with drug testing. As for the first, Justice Kennedy said, "no parent would send a child to that school, except maybe your client."

what happened to america the land of the free? we have, under the guise of protecting people from themselves, slowly allowed our rights and freedoms to be eroded away to next to nonexistant. why is it that countries that don't claim to be based on freedom have more freedom than the us population? the war on drugs(quite an ironic name, especially considering the famous ad with eggs and a frying pan which stated "this is your brain on drugs") has become the war on freedoms and rights. the question that faces us now is how do we reverse the shift towards a less free society?

on an unrelated note, the final whitewater report was issued today, in which independant counsel robert ray concludes that "there was insufficient evidence to prove former President Clinton or his wife participated in wrongdoing." but on the other hand, there were lots of blowjobs in the oval office. glad to see our tax dollars being put to such good use.
