My favorites were the Algonquin Round Table games like when the intellectuals misused a word in a sentence as when Gertrude Stein used horticulture. "Horticulture" she said, "you can lead a whore to culture but you can't make her think"!

Are there pictures in your book? Colored? Pornographic? Damn, I broke my pornograph, yesterday.

Have you noticed that most of us say they want a mate with a sense of humor and all of us claim to have a good sense of humor. What does that mean to you? Does your new hottie need to take a pie in the face?

In fact, do you think his/her humor sucks, is juevenile or plain stupid?

Instead we are becoming one because too many folks like you think that God blessed America and you and your kids can be as ignorant as you want to be and God will keep America #1 against them funny nforeign folks that read, write, add, subract and don't think the world is 6000 years old.

Not only have I read the Constitution hundreds of times, I have read most of the cases that have interpreted the Constitution. The Constitution itself is the philosophy in a fortune cookie. The 230 years of cases that followed are the living, breathing Constitution.

The most important words from a practical point of view, in the Constitution, for better or for worse, are contained in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3, yet no one speaks of it. It is the rational for the ever expanding power and yes, intrusion, of the Federal government.

Conservative or liberal, Dem or Rep, it is the justification for everything the Feds choose to do.

Wirthout the commerce clause, the US would b e a loose association of soverignties, much as the UN is.

Do not fall in love with the few words that 18th century farmers and clergymen who didn't know to wash their hands wrote. Love the living breathing expanding constitution that is relevent to today and tomorrow.

Here's an interesting piece of history:

July 19, 1884

President Arthur proclaims power to impose quarantine on immigrants
On this day in 1884, President Chester Arthur issues a proclamation that grants him and the federal government the power to quarantine persons entering the United States through its ports of entry to avoid the spread of “pestilence.” Although the proclamation used the word pestilence several times, it did not mention the specific name of the dreaded disease from which Arthur was trying to protect the nation: tuberculosis.
Although individual states usually maintained their own quarantine laws, Arthur saw the need to broaden the federal government’s powers to intervene in a national health crisis. Arthur served as president during an economic depression, when the nation was already in a state of anxiety and fearful of a resurgence in immigration from Europe and Asia, where tuberculosis was epidemic. He advised cities along the coasts to “resist the power of the disease and to mitigate its severity.” Without elaborating, Arthur was authorizing people to report to the federal government persons suspected of carrying highly contagious diseases.

Since the country’s inception, several presidents have had to impose quarantine regulations. George Washington signed the first quarantine act in 1799 at a time when variations of the plague and smallpox still posed deadly threats. Foreign ships deemed in “insanitary [sic] conditions” could be seized by federal officers and the passengers placed in quarantine at hospitals.

In 1918, 657,000 Americans were killed when a deadly worldwide pandemic called the “Spanish Flu” swept through the nation. Some historical accounts claim that President Woodrow Wilson contracted this flu while in Paris for the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, although it is uncertain which strain of flu virus he had.

During his first term, President George W. Bush added Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which originated in China and threatened to spread like wildfire, to the list of diseases for which government quarantine procedures could be implemented. Currently, diseases caused by biological weapons, such as anthrax, or the deadly influenza virus carried by poultry and other birds pose an additional danger to the United States.

Moi?

Untrue. Thew Board of Health and CDC has the authority to quaranteen without due process.

Religion doesn't create ignorance. Ignorance creates religion, or at least what the ignorant call religion. Ignorance creates the perceived NEED for religion to explain that which there is no current explanation for.

The Chemo issue or any medical treatment versus so-called religious beliefs issue has nothing to do with God or religion, by anyone's deinition. It is simply a question whether spreading one's legs and squeezing out a creature, gives the one excreting the creature total and unfettered ownership and disposal rights over that creature as one has over a 2 x 4 purchased at Home Depot.

The answer, in this country and culture is, NO it does not.

One can buy a dog but may not legally torture that dog. One cannot leave a child in a closed car in Florida in July, even if they made that child and a person can not escape culpability for the death of a child by simply watching that child eaten by ants and not removing that child from the ant hill.

It is not a religious question at all, but a simple matter of the limit of property and or parental rights.

Actually, there is a long tradition and presedence for "quaranteening" and isolating in public health matters, without Constitutional 4th, 5th, 6th & 14th Amendment rights. The speedy trial provisions only apply to charging and trying "criminal" aresttes, not isolating dangerous and or contagous.

There's pragmatism and purism. Our two major rivals are China and India. India, the world's biggest democracy, can't get things dome quickly or efficiently because of the concept of democracy in a country with a billion and a quarter people, give or take. China, with a similar amount of people has no democracy other then some economic democracy, and has progressed leaps and bounds.

India has riots, 300 candidates per noffice, mass deeaths and destruction over city council elections. Passion is great, but n ot so great in politics. Makes for to much of the them against us, red state, blue state, your mother wears combat boots citizenship that has us hamstrung.

There's a middle ground. somewhere.

Al Franken was certified by the Minnesota Supreme Cour by an 8 - 1 margin and was immediately sworn in by Harry Reid,(D) Nevada and Vice President Joseph Biden.

After being sworn in, Senator Franken introduced SB 1244 mandating a minute of laughter in all public schools, to replace the mandated minute of silence, which replaced the mandated minute of prayer. The House will take up the matter as soon as the Memorial Day recess is concluded.
