"The way it should work is that the police can't tape people but can use tapes made by citizens."
I agree - why don't more of us do this? You are correct, a tape freely given to the police by an individual is admissible in court, etc. I must confess, I had never really considered doing this but the next time there is some gathering of lunatics in my community I might give it a go.
I am English and I am still waiting for reparations from those pesky Roman's who made my people build there roads hundreds of years ago - I guess the Vikings owe me to for all the pillaging and raping they did to my ancestors.
South Carolina Freepers - Let the University know how you feel about this. Do we really need pro terror professors teaching Islamic Law? If any of you want to draft an open letter - let me know.
I have always been a great fan of Sowell's - he never fails to come through. If you ever want to give a liberal a really good book to help them understand basic economics, then Sowell is your man.
Although this happened, the example was really just a way to start the piece off. You are correct though, it does introduce another issue that is not relevant to what I have to say. Thank you for your input - I will think of another way to start.
That is kind of my point - parents should be allowed to teach their children about these issues rather than the schools. The schools have their own agenda and that may not (probably will not) be the same as the parents as regards values, etc. I should have explained why I posted this. I am helping a group of people approach their school board because they are concerned with some of the books being used, etc. I used to be a teacher (which is why my friend called me in the first place) and I really wanted suggestions from you rather than being "vain." If there is anything you think I could add or any links that may be useful to me (or if you want to tell me this is a piece of garbage) then do so. I would rather be torn to shreds here than a public forum.
You are correct and Biden's comments would most definitely apply to Keyes. I can only assume that BIden forgot about him or didn't consider him a serious contender. No one marketed Keyes the way Obama has been marketed which is a shame because I think Keyes is the better candidate.
