I can't believe I am the first to post this as an article!
Radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt declared that he had only one criteria for his vote for governor of CA--who would be able to beat Davis.
With great fanfare on today's show, he declared that he is casting his vote for Bill Simon! He punched his chad right there on the show as we listened! Go Simon! Go Hugh!
Not if they don't have a license they don't. You have to apply for one. And if you don't apply, then you are not susceptable to ridiculous laws which only apply to people who are engaging in commercial activity on the public roads.
The thing is that any public road is a right of way. The police do not have any special jurisdiction or ownership over these roads. The only way that they get this control over you is by convincing you that you must submit yourself to their jurisdiction. So they get you to apply for things like marriage licenses and drivers licenses and business licenses. Absurd really.
If you look in Blacks Law regarding the legal term license it means basically permission to do something that is generally considered illegal.
I bet you anything that in your law school studies you won't get more than 15 minutes on common law. Kinda like medical students who get about that much education in nutrition even though they are both analogous to the health of the patient each tends.
The Lawyer cannot possibly help his client if he is ignorant in common law. He will merely end up subjecting his client to the whim of the courts and probably believe that he is "helping."
The doctor does the same thing in general. He has no idea that the old addage "an apple a day" is sage advice and instead submits the patient to a battery of tests and ends up prescribing drugs because he has no idea that most of his patients suffer from afflictions caused by poor nutrition and virtually none of these afflictions are caused by a deficiency in some man-made chemical compound.
There's a reason he was PBS's housepet "conservative" on KCET. He could be counted on to ignore any number of issues that motivate the grassroots but aren't discussed in Polite Company, that being the tea-sippers on PBS. And I don't mean tin-hat stuff, it's issues fundamental to grassroots Californians, like illegal immigration. Hugh carefully avoids the issue, but sometimes he can't contain himself and then he gloats that the leftist Judge Marianne Pfelzer and Gray Davis were able to conspire to kill Prop 187.
Hugh is the Dog That Didn't Bark- you rarely hear him opposing conservative issues, you mostly realize he studiously ignores a number of issues.
I'm confused. I thought you were going for Riordan! Have I been wrong all along, or have you changed on this in the last month or so??
Now I'm even more confused, because that is exactly what I have been saying, starting around the time I helped coin the name DIABLO, for Riordan. Oh well, it is good to be on similar teams, a vote for Jones, is a vote not cast for Riordan. Wish you could go for Simon, I'm sure you have your reasons.
I will again remind conservatives that there is just about nothing that Rudy supports that fits our values in any shape or form. Take a look at NYC and tell me it would have been better off without Rudy.
