  1. Re:First amendment? on New Jersey Judge Shields Anonymous Blogger · · Score: 1, Insightful

    IANAL, but the US Constitution does not GRANT any rights. It notes that "We hold these TRUTHS to be self evident, that all men are CREATED equal, that they are endowded by THEIR CREATOR with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

    The Constitution, specifically the Bill Of Rights, PROTECTS these rights from being infringed by the government. It does not grant them.

    A minor but important point that is often overlooked.

    At least that's what they taught me in the Old School.

    I was at Calaloo Cafe this past Sat nite for dinner and a comedy show. Dinner was great -- comedy mostly sucked. And you're probably thinking of Scotti's record shop.

    I like Firefox LOTS better than IE. Been using it since it was Firebird, and gots lots of co-workers to switch. Upgraded to 1.0 today. I also use Trillian and sometimes GAIM instead of MSN Messenger.

  10. Re:hmmm on Slashdot Goes Political: Announcing politics.slashdot.org · · Score: 1

    The idea that 9-11 was an inside job intrigues me, but most of the allegations and claims thatI've found on the web seem pretty wacky. Can you give some pointers to some sites that present true independent and neutral information?

    That's a very generous offer. If you have any left, I'd like to check out GMail for myself. Please send it to OldSchool(at)jostel(dot)net. Thank you for this kind offer.
