Perhaps the largest difference between your position on this matter and mine is this.

You feel America is a nation of laws. I believe it is a nation of principles.

When such a problem arises, I think the principal, the teachers, adn the aprents should have dealt with the unacceptable behavior.

Once there was an America where law and teh courts was resorted to to,balance conflicts where the rights of an individual were in conflict with another’s rights.

In this case, an eager consortium of “intervenors” waded in. Note that the girls didn’t want the legal circus.

Once the philosophy of legal rationalism replaced the historic American legal practice, the feminazis, the childs rights lobby crowd, the guardian at litum folks, ad nauseam - all waxed wealthy and/or powerful.

Voltaire’s only prayer was that G*d make his enemies ridiculous. Voltaire felt his prayer was granted.

Thanks to the antics of such as surfaced in this case, or in the case of the “swarms of officers sent forth to eat out our substance” like Lil Debbie, this writer has not felt the need for such a prayer.

There are all too many working diligently to make the conservative writer’s life one of unlimited material.

The menu is changed daily.

In closing, how many FloriDUH lawyer jokes are there?

Answer: Only three - the rest are true stories. They put the DUH in FloriDUH.

Though, in all honesty, they have lots of help. ;-(

“Good government never depends upon laws, but upon the personal qualities of those who govern. The machinery of government is always subordinate to the will of those who administer that machinery. The most important element of government, therefore, is the method of choosing leaders.” - Frank Herbert.

And another of my favorite Dune quotes:

" Give me the judgment of balanced minds in preference to laws every time. Codes and manuals create patterned behavior. All patterned behavior tends to go unquestioned, gathering destructive momentum." - Frank Herbert.
