I guess I am a radical for believing in personal soveriegnty... which was taken to an extreme in the book Jennifer Government

Thanks for the tip as I'd never heard about this book "Jennifer Government". I don't have any right to contend with these legal scholars that like using the wee hours to mince words, for that matter, but sometimes I can't stand seeing right diluted for the sake of semantic talent and clever ambiguity. The more they wax rhetorical and hide their arguments in legalistic obscurities the more I smell passing wind. It ultimately devolves to the cartridge box measure where scoundrels have no rock to hide under.

And no, you are not poor compared to wealthy scumbags who know they're wrong. The undeservedly priviledged preen before me every day but none can take precedence, though I give them all professional respect their positions deserve (even when they don't). Unfortunately I've lost a few jobs because employers picked up on that fact regardless and couldn't stand it. It's on their heads and between them and their God.

These aren't good times for honest people trying to do right.
