Jury "Duty" and who owns you

My partner in the concierge business got this yesterday:

“Group 112 you are instructed to report on Wednesday, September 5, 2007 at 1p.m. to the Jury Office located at 400 McAllister Street, Room 007, Lower Level. Please bring your jury summons.”

This will probably result in me having to work on my days off for who knows how long. Part of my response to him was "Remember, you, your children, and your house are all the property of the state to be used as we see fit at any time, up to and including dying in some pointless war on the other side of the planet."

Heil Bush!

Jury duty is yet another symptom of the slave state, similar to conscription, aka "the Draft." Toss in "eminent domain" as it is now in the American Empire, the government can take your property and give it to multimillionaire developers for no other benefit than an increase in the taxes they will loot from that plot of dirt!

Freedom? Not if you do not control your own body, your property, your children or your money, what freedom do we have? None.

Protests against the emperor today are confined to "Free Speech Zones" placed far enough away from the emperor that he never sees or hears them, and the Imperial Propaganda Corps, our alleged "free" press can ignore them totally.

Bah. At least "my master is a good man..."

Today I am indeed, a very angry gnome. The government is stealing my time from by enslaving my partner to enforce laws I quite probably disapprove of.

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Wikileaks and police state censorship

I saw an article today on SF Gate about some nit wit Bush appointed Federal Judge ordering a website I'd never heard of called Wikileaks shut down because they were publishing some bank documents from some corrupt Swiss bank. The amusing thing is that they can't actually do it! Even more amusing is that this just draws attention to the site and makes it that much more visible, yay idiot goons! :-) There are mirror sites all over the world and it's almost impossible for thuggish police state goons to figure out how to close off all of the leaks :-) One mirror site is here: http://wikileaks.be/wiki/Wikileaks The US site they tried to close down is still here: http://88.80.13.160 "Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe,...

Child Driven Education

Here is a Ted Talk with Sugata Mitra on Child Driven Education... very unschooling-like I think.  :-)  I've seen videos of him before, this is an update on his research on letting groups of kids learn on the internet, mostly without any supervision at all.  Posted via email from The Angry Gnome
