 Asking you to take a stand for personal freedoms is totally sleazy?
Then what isn't?

 Your endless and contentless quarrel with Kelly reminds me of two-year

up, don't you think?

 If you think it unfair that you be judged by your stand on personal

 They already _have_ reduced the 2nd Amendment nearly to rubble by
allowing gun control, as well as the 1st by allowing censorship of
"obscenity". And then there's the 9th, which your pal Bork hates so
much. Why aren't you flaming _that_ jerk instead of Kelly?

 Complaints about the alledged "tyranny" of the judiciary vs. "states'

 You shudder at the idea of the right to privacy? Is that it? Damn good
decision, I say.

 No, they struck down a lousy law that violated the most basic personal
freedoms. That's what we pay them for, not to play tiddleywinks.

  Then they

 I have.

 A bad decision for precisely that reason.

  It was also undercut by Bowers v. Hardwick (1986) which

 Yup. An even worse decision. The Dred Scott ruling of the 20th
century. I say homosexuals have the same rights you and I have. Period.

 Insofar as RICO infringes on free speech and association, it's a bad

 If you want to argue for 14th Amendment protection for the fetus, go
ahead. That position, though I disagree with it, does at least have
intellectual coherency. But, outside of that premise, a woman's body
and life belong to herself and not to state legislatures.

 No, it's not going far enough at all in upholding our individual
rights.

 I don't want to pay them with _my_ tax money to sit around and do

 Papa Jack:
 Given your premises: 1) that the Connecticut law was a stupid law
(i.e., a bad law, a law that violated the most basic rights of privacy)
and should have been repealed, and 2) that the function of the
judiciary is to sit around and play checkers rather than to strike down
such laws, and that protection of our individual rights should be left
entirely to legislatures -- were you, or any of the other critics of
Griswold vs. Connecticut, doing anything AT THAT TIME to oppose that
law (or any similar laws) and get it repealed through the legislature?

 Unfortunately, yes, there are a lot of despicable bigots running

 I read a very interesting interview with Dr. Kevorkian in the August
1996 issue of "George". He is a consistent defender of individual
freedom and opponent of totalitarianism. Incl., he totally opposes gun
control. He also favors capital punishment. My kind of man!

 I'm not kidding about the need for judicial protection of our

 No, I want to know where he stands on substantive issues of individual
rights. I want to know why he thinks judicial protection of
individual rights is tyranny. I want to know what mechanism he would
substitute for judicial review to protect individual rights. That's
more important than whether he dislikes Kelly, IMO.

 I mean that, if he would protect your rights and mine to flame him on
the net, then he would be far better than those currently sitting on
the bench of that court who would abridge our rights in the name of
some "public morality". Go ahead and flame Kelly all you like. Just
don't expect me to.

 Ridiculous and infantile. I set no five minute demand wrt Papa Jack.
Nor have I yet made any conclusive judgement on his views. I would like
to know more. Where _does_ he stand on censorship? Privacy? Gun
control?

 I'm still not clear on where he stands on the issue of judicial
protection of individual rights. Mr. Kelly has made his stand clear.

  Would you put

 Actual use of children should be illegal, but writings, drawings,

  Would you put limits on broadcasting over

 No.

  How about displaying images in public?

 Some limits there to protect the rights of the non-consenting.

  How about any

 Some possibly.

 I don't have a right to read military secrets, OK. I damn well do have

please about sex, religion, politics, or anything else.

 See "The Rights Retained By The People: The History and Meaning of the
Ninth Amendment" (2 volumes) by Randy E. Barnett (1989, 1993, George
Mason University Press).

 Absolutely.

 Only by appointing men and women with a clear understanding of the
concept of individual rights. Not socialism and not moral
majoritarianism.

 Far better than the notion that we don't have a right to privacy
because the Bill of Rights doesn't explicitly use the word "privacy".
We need more Douglases, Blackmuns, and Blacks, and fewer Rhenquists,
Scalias, etc., on the SC.

 How TERRIBLE it was of us to have denied Bork his RIGHT (superseding,
of course, any rights that you or I may claim, such trivialities as
privacy in our homes or freedom of speech on the net) to A SEAT ON THE
SUPREME COURT. Why, soon we may end up denying Ralph Reed, Pat
Robertson, etc., a seat on the Supreme Court as well! Who knows where
it will end? We may end up with only 9 people on the court out of the
whole country!

 You're the one who follows the Party Line. Unless you're flaming

 Nope. It still stands. Your friend Keith Jackson thinks I've been
terribly unfair to you by asking where you stand on personal freedoms.
Well, now I know all too well from reading your most recent posts. I

 He can't, so he just flames and runs. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. I
disagree with you on one point, though, Mr. Kelly. I refuse to let Papa
Jack (Shit?) and those like him set the terms of this debate. This is
not a war between "liberals" vs. "conservatives", but between
totalitarians vs. individualists.

 Now, now, Kevin Kelly, you musn't dare to question the wisdom of the
Great Papa. If he wants to shred the Bill of Rights (for our own good,
of course -- Daddy knows best) who are we, in our ignorance, to
criticize? And (gasp!) how could you be so CRUEL as to say one word in
criticism of The Great Martyr (sob! sob!) Bork, who was SO HEARTLESSLY
(shudder!) denied a seat on the Supreme Court (and not even offered, to
my knowledge, the chairmanship of the board of a Fortune 500 company,
in compensation for this terrible loss! Oh, pitiless world!). How can
you DARE to speak of freedom of religion, right to privacy, freedom of
expression, and other such trivialities in the face of such a fiendish
atrocity as this: a man who advocates abrogating these little
technicalities BEING DENIED A SEAT ON THE SUPREME COURT! Have you no
COMPASSION? How EVIL, how WICKED we must be TO HAVE DENIED HIM A SEAT

 Papa Jack reveals his true character in this post. Like his pal Milton
Wong and so many others like him, Papa Jack just can't stand those
"**gg**s". The fact that he hates "**gg**s" so much that he wants them
kicked out of the military doesn't make him a b*g*t, now does it?
Though his friend Keith Jackson thinks I'm terribly unfair in not
regarding him as a valiant defender of individual rights, I must call
the shots as I see them. No wonder he is known as: Jack Shit.

 And don't forget denying passports to all pregnant women, so they

they don't smoke, drink, have sex, etc., on the grounds that these
activities, too, might be bad for the fetus.

 Since Papa Jack denies that we have a right to privacy, I have no

 _I_ refuse to!

 If a million are aborted each year, as pro-lifers like Papa Jack like
to point out with horror, then an equal number will have to be adopted
by those same pro-lifers. That's a lot of adoptions!

 OK, but then there's 1,000,000 more to go every year. And you didn't
even begin to answer the question about all those police, secret
police, and government bureaucrats you'll need to supervise all girls
and women of childbearing age in order to keep them all barefoot and
pregnant and make sure no harm comes to their unborn "babies" (fetuses,
embryos, zygotes) from smoking, drinking, etc..

 Quite true. He's a totalitarian jerk who denies individual rights, and
the 42 who voted in his favor were either deluded fools or jerks just
like him.

 These most treasured principles being our individual rights, e.g.,
privacy and free speech. Of course, Papa Jack doesn't dare spell this
out too clearly. And how, pray tell, were these principles proved
wrong? Papa Jack doesn't tell us, of course. Just more lies here.

 All of this is pure b.s.. By "radical left", Papa Jack means all
advocates of individual freedom and limited government. We must be
bomb-throwing anarchists! Papa Jack just wiggles away from these issues
of personal freedom and continues to smear all defenders of our
precious freedoms. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a worm, Papa Jack.

 You're almost as bad as Papa Jack. Here's a clue: If you don't believe
a woman should be able to choose to have an abortion, then you're not
pro-choice, OK? If the _only_ choice you defend is the choice of
whether or not to have an abortion, then you're not pro-choice either.
If you go around advocating gun control, censorship of pornography,
etc., and yet call yourself "pro-choice" because of your stand on
abortion, then you're not pro-choice, but a fool or a hypocrite.

 Idiotic strawman. I didn't say that and neither did anybody else here.
Learn to read.

 That's what I'm wondering.

 Wrong again. After you learn to read, look up choice in any dictionary
and see if it says anything about "applies only to the abortion issue".

  Guns are another issue (which I haven't even stated a

 This is exactly like saying, e.g., "Freedom of religion applies only
to the Baptist church. If you want to join a Catholic church, then
don't even try to pretend that it's the same thing." Get a clue
yourself.

  What planet are you from?  Geez.

 A planet where languages other than Newspeak are spoken and words have
meanings.

 If testosterone makes men violent, then estrogen makes women violent.
Both sexes can be violent.

 I totally agree. _That_ is the issue. Or, as Barry Goldwater put it in
1993: "Government should stay out of people's private lives."

 Yes, don't wiggle out of it this time. Confront the issue head-on.

 No, he was cruelly denied a seat on that court because he denied that
you and I have a right to privacy and free speech. Therefore, he's a

logically necessary conclusion of your gynophobic ideas. Are you ready

 Evil, wicked, alluring, etc., females. Is there a cure for gynophilia?

 That's a very interesting spectrum, but actually, historically, the
terms "Left" and "Right" first came into use during the French
Revolution, rather than our own, and I very seriously doubt that anyone
at that time, anywhere, would have thought of placing monarchy
("Ruler's Law") on the "Left" or anarchy ("Lawlessness") on the
"Right". Quite the reverse, I would think.

 Your pal Bork doesn't seem to care too much for that pesky 9th. It
limits government too much for his tastes. And emphasizes the
individual as primary.

 Which proves that laws/rules/taboos against murder, theft, rape, etc.,
long predated and were in no sense derived from the Bible. See, e.g.,
the Egyptian "Negative Confession".

 Actually, there are about 600 commandments in the Old Testament.
You've just proved my point. The First Amendment, as opposed to the
First Commandment, protects our right to worship any God or Gods we
choose.

 I myself am a polytheist, but I will defend to the death your right to
be an atheist, agnostic, monotheist, polytheist, or whatever you want
to be. Freedom of religion. Our Constitutional government was
established to protect our rights to life, liberty, and property --
_not_ to punish adulterers, homosexuals, witches, Sabbath-breakers,
etc.. My statement still stands: The Constitution and the Bible have
nothing to do with each other.

 It's obvious that the NRA is doing a good job defending our gun rights
since the gun control lobby hates it so much.

 Absolutely true. To stay free, we must consistently defend _all_ our
freedoms. We must defend guns _and_ privacy _and_ free speech (incl.
porn) _and_ free religions, etc., without compromise.

 The best way to reduce (not eliminate -- go to another planet for
that) the need for abortion is through far more consistent use of
contraceptives. For those of us who don't want _any_ kids, vasectomies
are quite useful. Abolish all this crap that we have some sort of duty
to breed, breed, breed "for the good of society", whether we like it or
not. If we don't want kids, we have a right not to have any. If you
want them, fine. Freedom of choice.

 Ironic, is it not? The majority opposed radical majority rule. (So we
still have a Bill of Rights -- barely.)

 I agree with that. As Steve McNallen once put it: "A religion without
a Goddess is half-way to atheism."
 However, if anyone wants to worship only a male God, that, too, is
their right -- as long as they don't try to impose it on me.

 I find it interesting that Mr. Gore has not, as far as I can recall,

 For the same reason you don't laugh at a funeral. Many of their

 The Egyptians were very mixed racially. The pyramids were not built by
slaves, but by farmers during the flood seasons. And the pyramids were
ancient by the time the Hebrews (along with some other peoples) made
their appearance in Egypt. Don't get your history from Hollywood.

 Criticizing Jews as individuals is not the same as attacking "the
Jews" as a group, as you do. The latter _is_ bigotry. If you don't want
to be a bigot, then learn to judge people as individuals. 

 Did the Palestinians become "nazis" after 
>the zionists had grabbed their country?

 Are you referring to the 1967 war when the Arab nations attacked
Israel and lost? A nation, such as Israel, has every right to defend
itself, and to take steps, as did Israel, to prevent such an attack in
the future.

 If they showed the same disrespect to you that you show to them, you'd
be pissed as hell.

after

 Because they don't want it repeated.

 I do not regard a fetus as human. There is no comparison whatever
between what a woman decides to do with her own body and its contents
and what went on at Auschwitz or any other concentration camp, Nazi or
Communist. 

> And please do not call be a nazi just because I refuse to believe in

 I call you a Nazi because of your hateful in-your-face attitude toward
Jewish people. You certainly do have the right to express your beliefs
or disbeliefs or, in this case, your obvious hatred for "the Jews",
just as a Communist has the right to burn the American flag. But, like
the flag-burning Communist, you can damn well expect other people to be
pissed as hell at you.

 The Hebrews didn't appear in Egypt until the Empire (New Kingdom) or
the Hyksos interregnum at the very earliest. That's a long time after
the pyramids were built (Old Kingdom). As I said, READ some history.
You can't get it from movies.

 The Hebrews did come under the domain of the Egyptian empire (New
Kingdom) and may have migrated into Egypt, along with other peoples,
during the Hyksos interregnum. They were not in Egypt earlier (e.g.,
during the Middle Kingdom) and certainly not during the time when the
pyramids were being built (Old Kingdom).

 Any religion is a matter of faith and can be neither proved nor
disproved. Whatever you want to believe or not out of the Bible (Old or
New Testament) or out of any other book you hold sacred, the Vedas, the
Eddas, or the Egyptian Book Of The Dead, is your own business. Just
don't confuse it with the Constitution! Read the 1st Amendment. You're
free to exercise your religion and I'm free to exercise mine and the
government stays out of it altogether.

 It seems we have people on all sides trying to re-write history:
people who get their history from Hollywood and want to believe that
the pyramids were built by enslaved Hebrews or by extraterrestials or
whatever (anybody but the Egyptians themselves, apparently!) -- and
professional Jew-haters/racists who want to believe that Hebrews/Jews
accomplished nothing significant in history and suffered only minor
inconveniences during World War II.

 If you attack "the Jews" as a group, rather than simply disagree with
particular Jews as individuals, then, yes, you _are_ bigoted. And, yes,
if you have an agenda of minimizing the suffering of Jews during World
War II, then that also shows that you are bigoted.
