McArthurthyist "Academic Bill of Rights" Laws
2008-08-11 11:58:00 Here's one in Colorado and the effects it is having. Wow. Professors getting death threats. Professors sleeping with shotguns under their pillows. Students filing complaints against professors and trying to get them fired for political reasons. A list of subjects that university professors are not allowed to discuss (WTH?)Threats of "quotas" for hiring conservative professors and threats of money cutoffs if quotas are not met. Professors quitting their jobs and living in fear. Whew. Jesus Christ man.By the way, Jewish Zionist ultra-sleazeballs David Horowitz and Daniel Pipes have been behind a lot of this shit. And US Jews have been behind some of the worst examples of academic censorship and retaliation seen in recent days - the refusal of Yale to hire Juan Cole, and refusal of De Paul University to give the excellent scholar Norman Finkelstein tenure, followed by a monetary settlement and his subsequent resignation.

Bill of Rights for People Who Self Harm
2008-06-26 00:20:00 Bill of Rights for People Who Self-HarmPreambleAn estimated one percent of Americans use physical self-harm as a way of coping with stress; the rate of self-injury in other industrial nations is probably similar. Still, self-injury remains a taboo subject, a behavior that is considered freakish or outlandish and is highly stigmatized by medical professionals and the lay public alike. Self-harm, also called self-injury, self-inflicted violence, or self-mutilation, can be defined as self-inflicted physical harm severe enough to cause tissue damage or leave visible marks that do not fade within a few hours. Acts done for purposes of suicide or for ritual, sexual, or ornamentation purposes are not considered self-injury. This document refers to what is commonly known as moderate or superficial self-injury, particularly repetitive SI; these guidelines do not hold for cases of major self-mutilation (i.e., castration, eye enucleation, or amputation).Because of the stigma and lack of readil...

Entering the Brain-Free Zone
2008-05-07 23:06:00 Seventeen-year-old Amon Schute is social drek. He's sneering, jeering and hateful. He proves it with ostentatious displays of filthy jeans, long matted hair, body piercings and tattoos. He's exactly the kind of kid you'd expect to spend his entire adult life in lockup. Sixteen-year-old Coy Minyon is a social cipher. He's weak, meek and fearful. He proves it with a timorous mask of ultra conservative clothing, neatly groomed hair, unobtrusive appearance and a permanent muted existence that makes him invisible to the world. He's exactly the kind of kid you'd expect to spend his entire adult life in total obscurity. Amon and Coy are best friends. Together they plan to gun down a bunch of people in a public place and then off themselves in a blaze of everlasting glory. read more

But YOU can effectively defend the Constitution when a gun owner, a tax resister, or someone who knows he owns his individual body, is on trial for not following government-made laws that are both unconstitutional and violate human rights. The primary responsibility of any juror is to protect innocent humans from government tyranny. That means any violation of basic human rights should be nullified by you, the juror. This is your individual executive veto power, built into our justice system by our founders." ... read more

Comcast wants 'bill of rights'
2008-04-16 00:30:00 that effects a large portion of my readers" href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/-id/24137028/">Completely off topic, but I figured it was worth a mention since it's something that effects a large portion of my readers: Comcast Corp., under federal investigation for interfering with the traffic of its Internet subscribers, said Tuesday it wants to develop a "Bill of Rights and Responsibilities" for file sharing. The announcement expands on Comcast's new policy toward file-sharing: It said last month that rather than singling out such traffic and blocking some of it, the company will move toward a system that treats all types the same. File sharing is mainly used to illegally swap copyright works like movies, but it's also emerging as a cheap way to distribute legal video. One of the companies in this business, Pando Networks Inc., is joining Comcast and supporting the "Bill of Rights." The document would codify "best practices" for Internet providers to deal with file-sharing traffic, w...

The Emerging Surveillance State, by US Rep. Ron Paul
2008-04-07 07:00:00 Last month, the House amended the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to expand the government?s ability to monitor our private communications. This measure, if it becomes law, will result in more warrantless government surveillance of innocent American citizens. Though some opponents claimed that the only controversial part of this legislation was its grant of immunity to telecommunications companies, there is much more to be wary of in the bill. In the House version, Title II, Section 801, extends immunity from prosecution of civil legal action to people and companies including any provider of an electronic communication service, any provider of a remote computing service, ?any other communication service provider who has access to wire or electronic communications,? any ?parent, subsidiary, affiliate, successor, or assignee? of such company, any ?officer, employee, or agent? of any such company, and any ?landlord, custodian, or other person who may be authorized or ...

Do We Need a Passenger Bill Of Rights?
2008-03-26 01:05:00 Think about this for a minute. Do we really need a document to state what should be common sense? Is traveling on an airplane equivalent to being in a foreign country? The whole passenger bill of rights argument stems from poor judgement on the airlines part in select incidents where passengers had every right to be angry and complain. But the number of times this happens compared to the number of flights that happen makes it such a small percentage that its easier to deal with each case of poor judgement as it happens. Enacting a law could actually be detrimental simply by people interpreting how they see fit. It can easily get out of hand and people try to use it to their advantage to get compensated for things that are out the control of the airlines. Take for example the flight that was stranded last February for 10 hours. Yes the airline was wrong to force the people to sit on the plane the entire time, but the reason for the delay could be used against airlines even i...

Living by the Sword, by US Rep. Ron Paul

In his case it?s the political sword, as his enemies rejoice in his downfall. Most people, it seems, believe he got exactly what he deserved. The illegal tools of the state brought Spitzer down, but think of all the harm done by Spitzer in using the same tools against so many other innocent people. He practiced what could be termed ?economic McCarthyism,? using illegitimate government power to build his political career on the ruined lives of others. read more
Sure-fire 2nd Amendment stance
2008-03-12 22:16:00 "That is the all-important context in which the Bill of Rights was created. The Anti-Federalists, men filled to varying degrees with fear, mistrust, and loathing of the new federal government, insisted on a bill of rights as additional shackles imposed on that new government. Knowing that alone, knowing that the famous Bill came into existence only to please those most apprehensive of the new government, definitively ends any confusion or debate surrounding the meaning of the Second Amendment. read more

Second Amendment Battle in DC, by US Rep. Ron Paul
2008-02-10 07:00:00 As a United States Congressman, I take my oath to uphold all of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights very seriously. Unfortunately, too many in Washington DC believe they can pick-and-choose which provisions of the constitution they can uphold. For example, many politicians, judges, and bureaucrats believe they have the power to disregard our right to own guns, even though the second amendment explicitly guarantees the people's right to "keep and bear arms." Like the Founding Fathers, I believe that the right to keep and bear arms is fundamental to a free society. Where law-abiding citizens are most freely allowed to defend themselves, communities are safer, while crime rises when law-abiding people's access to firearms is restricted. Gun laws only disarm those who respect the law. Those with criminal tendencies do not turn in their weapons and reform their ways because government bureaucrats enact statutes that tell them to. Gun control laws turn peaceful citizens into sitt...
Congressman Paul Takes Aim at DC Gun Ban
2008-02-07 07:00:00 Congressman Ron Paul has signed on to a letter to the President asking that an amicus curiae brief filed by U.S Solicitor General Paul D. Clement on DC v. Heller, otherwise known as the DC Gun Ban Case, be withdrawn on the basis that the reasoning within, were it to be accepted by the Supreme Court, leaves open the door for more encroachments on individuals? Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms. The brief in question argues that categorical bans of virtually all self-defense firearms may be upheld as constitutional if a court determines that these prohibitions are ?reasonable? restrictions of constitutional rights. The reasonability standard is the lowest standard of constitutional review our courts utilize, a much lesser hurdle than the ?strict scrutiny? review that courts use in many cases in which regulations threaten individual rights. read more

2008-01-08 17:01:00 On April 16, 2007, twenty-seven students and five faculty members at Virginia Tech lost their lives to a madman who possessed one distinct advantage over his victims?He wasn't concerned with following the rules. Undeterred by Virginia Tech's status as a "gun free zone," this mentally unstable individual carried two handguns onto the university campus and indiscriminately opened fire. Over the last quarter-century, the vast majority of the mass shootings in America?from the recent shooting at the Westroads Mall in Omaha, Nebraska, to the 1984 San Ysidro McDonald's massacre?have occurred in "gun free zones." Though labeling an area "gun free" may make some people feel safer, feeling safe is clearly not the same as being safe. read more

Separation of Church and State
2007-12-20 23:57:00 I was watching a program recently that really opened my eyes. Now, I love history, but it's been awhile since I actually studied the Constitution of the United States, or it's Amendments. What I learned during the program told me alot that I didn't know. This is the full text of the First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.? The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Did you notice that there is nothing even related to the phrase "Separation of Church and State"? Did you notice that the First Amendment actually states that Congress will make no law prohibiting the free exercise of religion? Or the right for others to peacably assemble (even in a religious setting)?So where did that term come from? It actually came from Thomas J...

Jacks Straw's wrong Bill of rights.
2007-10-25 22:27:00 Whilst the Conservatives are calling for the Human Rights act to be scrapped, Jack Straw is defending it. Straw says that scrapping the act in favour of a British Bill of Rights would cause delays as people would seek justice in the European courts. But surely the idea of scrapping the act would remove the ability to go to the European courts as we do now. This is the reason for getting rid of the Human Rights Act, it is the European courts in conjunction with the Act that have caused us so much anguish - the Human rights act is hardly ever used for the good of law abiding citizens.Now we come to the why of it. Why have the government suddenly decided to come up with a Bill of rights? Why are their proposals seemingly a u-turn on past policy? Why draft a Bill that runs alongside the Human Rights act instead of replacing it? Surely this will only add another layer of law, rather than taking away the ability of European courts to interfere. Why are the Labour party saying we shoul...

2007-10-11 05:50:00 The Forex Trader’s Bill of Rights (2005) is a non-fiction book about the foreign currency trading market, published by OANDA_Corporation. It is primarily a call to arms for currency traders to call for greater transparency and accountability within the market. The overleaf provided with the printed version of the book states: “Big banks and confederated brokerages have overcomplicated forex: trading costs are inflated, unnecessary risk abounds, and the system is grossly unfair.” Essentially, the book elaborates on this premise, detailing ways in which traders are being unfairly treated and encouraging them to take action.OANDA is a company that provides currency trading tools for investors, travelers, and businesses. As such, there is an unavoidable marketing aspect to this publication. However, OANDA is not mentioned throughout the book. There has been a clear effort to maintain a relatively neutral point of view. The back cover does state “OANDA is a leading provider of on...

Family Misunderstands Open Source, Panics, & Sues the Wrong Person?
2007-09-23 01:23:00 Open source is supposed to be a way of simplifying licensing issues and sharing your software/music/video/other content with the masses — freely and magnanimously. Problem is, what happens when something open source is found to be a (possible) violation of some else’s rights? What happens to its derivatives? Do they just pack up shop and find something else, or are they legally responsible for their actions? In what seems poised to become a landmark case on this issue, we’re about to find out. A Texan family is now suing Virgin Mobile for using a photo of their daughter, Alison Chang, in an ad campaign – the catch is, it was released by the photographer on Flickr under the Creative Commons Attribution license, and that’s where Virgin Mobile got the photo from. The problem is, the girl featured in the photo had no idea her photo was being used – or that it was released under the Creative Commons license. As the case currently stands, the Changs are...

Taxicab passengers' Bill of Rights?
2007-04-29 15:38:00 VANCOUVER/CKNW(AM980) - The general manager of one of Vancouver's biggest taxicab companies supports proposed legislation holding drivers accountable to their passengers. John Palis with Blacktop and Checker Cabs says he's been suggesting the establishment of a 'Passenger Bill of Rights' since 1999, "If your top light is on at night and you stop for a passenger and that passenger is asking for service, you're supposed to provide it, providing that passenger isn't inebriated or seems to pose a threat to the driver." Speaking on CKNW's Morning News with Philip Till, Palis says cabbies who work for him face a suspension of two days up to a week, if they refuse to pick up a customer. Earlier this month, Vancouver City Council approved another 111 cabs. There are currently less than 500 licensed taxis in the city. http://www.cknw.com/news/news_l-ocal.cfm?cat=7428218912&rem-=64033&red=80121823aPBIny&a-mp;wids=410&gi=1&gm=new-s_...

Practice these skills and reaffirm the principle of right human relationships.Total acceptance of all ideas. Total acceptance does not necessitate total agreement!Honesty of relationships takes precedent over any issue. The speaker in any given discussion of issues, sensing any hidden agendas, stops discussing issues and focuses the conversation on the relationship until all parties involved agree that the relationship is honest in that the participants are speaking what they are really thi...
