I wonder what ever happened to those latch-key kids?

Last I saw of them they were featured in a made-for-TV movie which aired after school on ABC.

Homeless and Hopeful

If any person is so inclined to donate some money consider this dual assistance plan.

My sister has been training rigorously for the past eight months with the intent to run the marathon in Chicago this October. But in order to make this happen she needs to raise a certain amount of money for PAWS. PAWS stands for pets are worth saving and they seek to increase public awareness regarding the reality homeless pets endure while functioning as a no-kill shelter. The care and compassion they bestow upon homeless pets proves sincere and commendable.

Please consider donating to help my hopeful sister run the marathon while provided charitable assistance to PAWS, an organization dedicated to the needs of homeless pets.

Please donate today!

P.S. Don’t forget to get your pet spayed or neutered.

Humans — driven by entitlement — sense of equity run afoul.

“Actor Dennis Farina was charged with a felony Sunday at Los Angeles International Airport after a loaded gun was found in his carry-on luggage.

When the weapon was discovered at a security checkpoint, the 64-year-old actor said he had forgotten the .22-caliber handgun was in his luggage, police said…” Read Full AP Story.

The Law

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

I find the reasoning in law so amusing. How come no else in class seems amused - can I be that naive?

I see what my professor means by “framing the issue” - a way to get around accusations of subjectivity. “Let’s see, how shall I frame this issue today”

“Justices Scalia and Kennedy departed from their previous positions as parts of the Lopez and Morrison majorities to uphold a federal law regarding marijuana. The court found the federal law valid, although the marijuana in question had been grown and consumed within a single state, and had never entered interstate commerce. The court held that Congress may regulate a non-economic good, which is intrastate, if it does so as part of a complete scheme of legislation designed to regulate interstate commerce.”

Serious amusement, kids.

A decision ruled by personal views - plain and simply…

Tomorrow: Con Law Exam…

I miss math sometimes - it is so concrete, exact and precise. Solve for x, make the complex equation as small and pretty as possible, move all the y’s to the right, condense the integers into a single unit —ahhhh, so nice and pretty.
