It’s that attitude of no ‘wiggle room’ that gets little Johnnie expelled from school for hugging his teacher... or glueing Army men to his baseball cap...
If we find it rediculous that our schools don’t have any common sense, we have only to look at ourselves. Even our so-called ‘conservatives’ here at the Free Republic act just like those tin-pot school dictators.
Heh, and I thought the term conservative actually was different that liberal. My mistake... it seems that both are just as concerned about centralized total control over every aspect of human life through the government.
I don’t think you understand the situation. A person committed a crime (illegal fireworks) and wanted to get away with it. Instead, the person should OBEY the law, and work to get it changed. You don’t get a law changed by VIOLATING it. What I was showing was that people try to JUSTIFY their actions instead of accepting the punishment when caught.
Stupidity (reaction to a childs hug, bringing an obvious toy gun, drawing a gun, or even a picture of an Army man) is inevitable when you allow feelings to overrule common sense, as in these cases.
And yes, I am conservative. (I think Rush is a flaming liberal :>)
