Mick..and 999... I wish I could claim full credit for that line above, but the truth is, it was my best recollection of something I heard once. I just found it...

""The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread." Anatole France (1844-1924) (from The Red Lily, 1894)

I guess even a bad rendition makes the point though.

If any conservatives are reading this... do you see any problem with this court decision?
If I remember correctly, one of conservatives hallowed principles is 'I don't want big government telling me what to do or how I can spend my money...etc.' I am curious to know how you might react if you wake up one morning in a few years and find that there is not too much difference between your 'government' and the corporate boards of insurance companies, munitions suppliers, oil companies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, ...and Walmart.

Getting 'your own' Supreme Court sounded like fun for awhile, huh? Just DO be careful that the 'conservative values' they preserve and uphold do not end up giving you the 'freedom' of what color uniform to wear as you march in lock-step to their corporate band.

Doomsayer? Silly "nattering nabob of negativism"? Flustered, disappointed liberal? ..... perhaps....

call me in 10 years,
