land of the free?
I'm going to get a little political on everyone's ass and discuss constitutional rights...people tiptoe around certain ones, courts misinterpret others, and then there are those valid, legitimate reasonable rights that end up completely disregarded. Ha, this is all subjective analysis according to me, but I think I exercise fair and sound judgement most of the time. For example, it is total bullshit that certain women can't be sterilized. I'm sorry, but if a lady doesn't have the money to support one baby, and keeps getting pregnant and having more babies, and the government keeps having to foot the bill for these "accidental" births, then the government and NOT the female should be able to decide when to close down the factory. At the same time, I believe gay marriage AND adoption should be legalized across the nation. Who would it harm? Look at all these hetero couples who can't get their shit together, whose children end up being the devil's spawn, and basically contribute nothing worthwhile to society. Or you have those losers who act as foster or adoptive parents to collect a check while gay couples who would actually NURTURE a child are denied the privilege. Nobody will nip these ugly cycles that have REAL WORLD CONSEQUENCES in the bud, but there seems to be rapt attention devoted to silliness such as monitoring people's thoughts. It would impede on a person's "fundamental" right to thwart their (stupid) ACTIONS, but let's throw the book at a person for FEELING and THINKING a certain way!
NASTY TIMES AT NEW TIMES-- Daily Business Review, http://ww.dailybusinessreview.com, July 22, 2005.
Blogging, the publication by individuals of comments on personal Internet sites called Web logs, is becoming a growing legal and personnel headache for employers across the country. Now the problem has surfaced in South Florida. Until now, most litigation across the country has involved cases where employees have been discharged for blogs perceived to have hurt the company or their boss’s feelings. But potentially far more dangerous are lawsuits for defamation or libel filed by the targets of disparaging blogs, lawsuits that could name the blogger’s employer as a defendant. Attorneys say there have not yet been enough cases to establish how First Amendment and defamation law apply to blogs. But they predict that bloggers almost certainly will be held to the same standards as anyone publishing defamatory material in other forms.
UGH. dis-gust-ing! Hopefully I won't get jailed for saying so!
