    Golly (4/14) British police phoned Donald Reynolds and told him he couldn't have Sunday lunch with his family.

    This one goes to Supreme Court, no doubt....

    Volokh NAILS IT my favorite part: "[T]here is an equality of status in the field of ideas," the Supreme Court has said. "Under the First Amendment there is no such thing as a false idea." "The government must abstain from regulating speech when the specific motivating ideology or the opinion...

    great commentary from my favorite libertarian rag on this topic. Eugene Volokh weighs in on the case of Tyler Harper, who is suing his San Jose school after being pulled out of class for wearing a shirt declaring "Homosexuality is Shameful - Romans 1:27" in protest of his school's Day of...

    "This spring, at least 65,000 undocumented immigrant students, many of whom have been in this country most of their lives, will graduate from high school. The Constitution guarantees a public-school K-12 education for every child in the U.S. But after that, their future is uncertain" from the...

    Paper Trading Vs The Real Deal

    i used the DIA's to learn how to trade YM unlike papertrading, it was REAL. it's just that for every point move in the dow, the dia's move $1 (per 100 shares) vs. $5 per point for YM. so, this is a nice way to practice your YM strategies with an instrument, that while it is not a fungible...

    Bush, Worst President Of Last 50 Years?

    carter was terrible. imo, the worst of the recent lot. nixon, from a management perspective wasn't that bad, and like carter he was among the smartest (not that this is very important in a president - beyond say a 110 iq or so) nixon had (to put it mildly) ethical issues. disgraceful...

    Paper Trading Vs The Real Deal

    "To me, the willingness to take loss is also within psychology field" trading is more about risk management than stock picking, so the distinction between papertrading and real trading is hyooge again, i don't HAVE 100k to risk. and the risk of losing the entire amount of 100k is hyooge if...

    Christians Sue for Right Not to Tolerate Policies

    "Say a student is successfully indoctrinating impressionable young people to carry out jihad in the name of religion, in hate against Americans on public school campus.
