I just made my mother
Published by shannon March 18th, 2003 in no categoryI just made my mother cry.
I made my mother cry by claiming we live in a democracy that is still operating under the auspices of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I made my mother cry by claiming that I have the right to make my opinions known about the governments we elect, under the protection of the first amendment to that same Constitution. For saying this, I made my mother cry.
What’s more sad? Me making my mother cry, or that I had to reiterate that point?
The Bill of Rights. Still standing, since 1791, until someone tells me otherwise. If I wasn’t determined to go to law school before, you’d best believe I am now.
Does my mother know best? Read that link and ponder my question.
Should we all move to New Mexico? Well, not quite yet, but after the former piece of legislation gets passed…
If I stop posting for a suspiciously long time, someone call my lawyer, would you?

Oh, you KNOW my position on Violet Crumble. Yes, PLEASE. Except they’re even worse than Butterfinger when it comes to pure sugar coma-dom. So the Aussies have *some* decent candy, but Polly Waffles are horrid.
Lawyer, sure? Provided your Miranda rights still hold …
So what’s the 3rd amendment? No cheating now.
Now is the ‘anti-comment conspiracy’ gonna let me post this?
Oh so my first comment worked but I got told it didn’t, hmm …
Miranda just advises you of your rights to counsel before you start confessing your sins to all and sundry. The sixth amendment guarantees your right to have counsel at trial to defend yourself. And the third amendment deals with quartering soldiers in your house. What? You think they’re going to stick a few gun-toting special ops guys in my house to keep an eye on me? Well, that could be interesting…
True, they do (I have a pocket copy of the Constitution, courtesy of the Cato Institute, used explicitly to bait Americans, carried at all times in my CWU-36/P).
What I was referring to is that Miranda will give you the heads up pretty quickly.
The soldiers a) could provide boyfriend material b) get the Australian SAS, not those US trained spec-op sissies.
On reflection I didn’t even realise the 3rd would be relevant right now, but if little George formally declares war, well …
This says it pretty well: http://www.hackworth.com/article03112003z.html
Dear god…don’t go to law school. Take this advice from a lawyer. Me. Join a political action group or a policy group or something instead.
Huffer, baby, you and me have got to talk about this. Drop me an email…
No Aussie special ops guy. No, no, no. The ex is half-Aussie and I’ve well-documented my distaste for Polly Waffles and Vegemite, thanks, mate. Although I do tend to say ‘crikey’ a lot, and that’s all his fault, too.
Now if someone wanted to send over one of those German special ops guys, like the ones who took out the Lufthansa hijackers in Africa some years back…well, that would be a different story altogether!
Think back to my Mardi Gras post. I’m still up for UN troops occupying my bra. Ha ha ha.
Oh, you mean the boys from GSG 9.

So what’s your stand on Violet Crumble then?
