May 17, 2013 — xanthippaDuplicitous hypocrisy

And while we are in the topic of cyber-trolls, Thunderf00t has seen more than his fair share:
RIP, Bo-Bo

Despite this one incident, Bo-Bo and I were very good friends…
This cop actually says that the police do not have to obey the law – as he illegally disarms, searches and arrests an active duty soldier

So, what else can you get arrested for in the USA these days?
- Walking down the street with your mother may get you tazed, beaten up by cops and arrested
- Laughing in your own home may get you jail time
- Watching your children play in front of your house
- Untangling a whale from a fishing net – rather than calling authorities and waiting for them to arrive and do it
Well, you can also be suspended from school for wrestling down an armed gunman who threatened to shoot a student on a school bus…and here are 19 other things that got kids arrested at school.
This is not proper policing…
UPDATE: some of the links in ’19 other things that got kids arrested’ are broken. I’ve hunted around the net and found better/alternate links to some of the ones broken in the linked post:
- throwing paper airplanes (and tardiness and dress-code violations)
- farting
and, also, getting an undercover narc to bully – and then arrest – autistic student for selling sugar packets…
If you find more broken links, please, let me know and I’ll search for an alternate link to the original article. This is too important to ignore!!!
Sorry for the comment approval delay…
April 8, 2013 — xanthippaAs I have mentioned, I am spending much of my time sitting vigil with a dear and loved relative, who is in a hospice – and has much too strong-a-heart for her to ‘pass’ easily…as a matter of fact, I am now by her bedside.
Needless to say, there is so much ‘family interaction’ – good as well as stressful, as is always the case – that I am somewhat overwhelmed by it all and in no frame of mind to actually respond to the comments that some of you have so generously made…
However, this is taking much longer time than I expected – and way more out of me than I ever thought possible.
So, I’ll do something I don’t ever do – I’ll approve the backlog of comments that have accumulated over the last week+, without really having had the proper opportunity to review/rebut them. Please, do not take this personally – I just hope this will permit the debates among my readers to continue, even if I do not interject myself into the conversation.
Thank you, all, for all!
Lady Thatcher passes away
April 8, 2013 — xanthippaGrowing up behind the iron curtain, she was my idol – because she was the only one my oppressors feared!
The sad news comes during a sad vigil for me, as I spend time at a hospice, waiting for a dear relative (a warrior-woman who had dedicated her life to the Canadian military and to protecting all our lives) to breathe her last…
Difficult days…
Why the US Is Not a Democracy
March 26, 2013 — xanthippaIt would have been nice had the video also addressed ‘Constitutional Monarchy’, which is a law-based system of governance but different from a republic. Still, it is well done:
