Wow… it is scary that this type of thing is happening in Colorado in the year 2005:
Deborah Davis, 50, of Arvada, Colo., told the Rocky Mountain News that the bus she took to work passed through the Federal Center, and that federal officers would routinely board it asking for identification. She said the officers with the Federal Protective Service just looked at the IDs and did not record them or compare them with any lists.
After reviewing her rights, one day in September she refused to produce her ID and she refused their orders to get off the bus. She said she was removed from the bus, handcuffed and ticketed for two petty offenses.
Well, here’s some good news:
A former Green Party member who advocates an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq says he will challenge incumbent
Hillary Rodham Clinton for the 2006 Democratic nomination for Senate.
“She’s in favor of the war and in favor of continuing the occupation,” Steven Greenfield, a professional saxophone player, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from his New Paltz home.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: No More Bushes, and No More Clintons. We need to break the presidency out of this incestuous in-breeding that’s been going on since 1980. We need to make sure that the Executive branch contains no Bushes and no Clintons in 2008. Anything that can help this is a Good Thing.
But anything that can help achieve this goal and increase the status of the Green party is an Even Better Thing!
Looks like the Oak Ridge (TN) High School superintendent isn’t so keen on the whole Free Speech idea:
Administrators at Oak Ridge High School went into teachers’ classrooms, desks and mailboxes to retrieve all 1,800 copies of the newspaper Tuesday, said teacher Wanda Grooms, who advises the staff, and Brittany Thomas, the student editor.
The Oak Leaf’s birth control article listed success rates for different methods and said contraceptives were available from doctors and the local health department. Superintendent Tom Bailey said the article needed to be edited so it would be acceptable for the entire school.
This is scary, truly scary. Shouldn’t our public schools be teaching children about the Rights its citizens are granted which makes this such a great nation, instead of demonstrating what happens when those rights are trampled on?
