Since Last in Line is so fond of taking trips down memory lane regarding previous posts and comments of mine, I thought we would start off the week with one of his offerings.
A while back, John Waxy asked Last what positive things Bush contributed to our society. Last replied that tort reform was one of them. He went on to say that frivolous lawsuits were breaking the financial back of this country and we needed to be rid of them.
Take a look at this story which I caught on Fox News this morning. I guess Bush's tort reform is ok when we are making sure that corporate officers are able to keep their third vacation home (see: no such animal as employee rights...who gives a shit if they are in ill health?). But a student is allowed to sue his teacher for a thought provoking discussion of religion. Yeah, that's just dandy. I guess U.S. District Judge James Selna is not one of those activist judges we hear the right screeding about constantly because he thinks the case has merit.
And, once again, my tap into your inner rage and pass shit off as fact theory is fully proven. Next stop for Jim Corbett....the Inquisition! I'm sure the robes (white) are fully laundered and ready to go:)

All that story says is that a suit was filed. That's it. You haven't ever been fond of "monolithic black and white views of the world" yet you didn't feel the need to ask my opinion of that suit itself, you just typed up what you think my view would be.
For those who may be interested - that suit sounds extremely stupid and I hope it gets thrown out of court again. The teachers statements did not establish a state religion and his statements do not prevent that family from practicing their religion. This lawsuit should have never seen the light of day.
There - never said it was dandy. Never said it was ok and I really don't care what that teachers says in his classroom or what his views on Chistians are.
Keep up that black and white analysis of "what conservatives think". You completely avoided offering up your opinion of tort reform.
"pass shit off as fact"
So then tell us which members of the Bush administration planted child porn on political opponents PC's. You made the accusation. Until you answer that, you are projecting.
