Briar MacLean was sitting in class during a study period Tuesday, the teacher was on the other side of the room and, as Grade 7 bullies are wont to do, one kid started harassing another.
[...]“They phoned me and said, ‘Briar was involved in an incident today,’” she said. “That he decided to ‘play hero’ and jump in.”
Ms. O’Donnell was politely informed the school did not “condone heroics,” she said. Instead, Briar should have found a teacher to handle the situation.<... (more) |

NEW YORK (MYFOXNY) -
Mayor Bloomberg called medical marijuana a scam on his WOR radio show on Friday.
In a discussion of efforts to legalize it across the country, Bloomberg said, "There's no medical. This is one of the great hoaxes of all time."
He went on to make another eyebrow raising statement about how legalizing marijuana will cause other problems.
"Drug dealers have families to feed," Bloomberg said. "If they can't sell marijuana, they... (more) |
California Police Paying Cellphone Companies to Read Texts Without Warrants, Busting Teenage Cannabis Dealers

[Category: Tyranny/Police State]
In Roseville, California, the police are very bored. Instead of investigating thefts, or stopping rape, or crimes with victims, the police are spending most of their time going after teenage cannabis dealers, or issuing citations. Thanks to the constitution molesting Supreme Court, if a person has been arrested, or even given a citation (and the police therefore record the person’s phone number), the police can read the person’s texts, any of them, at will, without a warrant.

Rulers vs Ruled: 10 Things Government Can Do That Would Land You in Jail

Do you still believe the government represents the people? Are you part of the majority that genuinely wants the government to do good things?
There remains a large portion of the population that believes government to be a force for good and they blindly support giving it more power even at the expense of their own liberty.
Perhaps government should be a force for good represented by the will of the people. But, unfortunately, that is not what it is. Instead, the g... (more) |

One of the biggest scandals of the Bush administration (which is really saying something) began on December 16, 2005. That was when the New York Times' James Risen and Eric Lichtblau were finally allowed to reveal what they had learned more than a year earlier: namely, that President Bush, in 2002, had ordered the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on the electronic communications of US citizens without first obtaining warrants from the FISA court as required by 30-year-old criminal law.

Conversations with police at the conclusion of a traffic stop are presumed to be involuntary, the Kentucky Supreme Court ruled last week.

Danish Police Admit That Data Retention Hasn't Helped At All

There's been a big push around the globe to ramp up data retention rules, which require various online services to keep all sorts of data on their users for a long time, just in case it's possible that law enforcement officials might need that data at some later date. That this only adds to the pile of data, and often makes it more difficult to find useful data, is never discussed. That this likely puts more people's private data at risk of being hacked or accidentally revealed is never discusse... (more) |

I probably loathe the American compulsory education system more than anyone I've ever met. I despise it on deeply personal level, on an ethical level, and from an efficacy standpoint. I despise the people involved; the administrators, the so-called teachers, the teeming hordes of kids who don't want to and shouldn't be there wasting everyone's time and money.
But like everything else, every now and then there a silver lining or a bright star that breaks through the darkness and de... (more) |

Learning from Mistakes

The old idiom "you can lead a horse to water, but not make him drink" has proven itself true in the course of human learning. Or rather, it would be more accurate to label it man's inability to learn from mistakes. You can hold a mirror up to grotesque instances of hypocrisy, but most men will remain mules – stubborn in their prejudice and beliefs. The ability to heed lessons from blunders is, often times, a skill unable to be mastered by the mass populace. A child might learn to not touch a sea... (more) |

 The recent collapse of a small commuter bridge in Washington has brought back memories of Minnesota.

This week is a big one in the psychiatry world. The American Psychiatric Association released the fifth edition of its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). What is now a massive 1,000-page tome doesn’t come out very often, but when it does, as Johns Hopkins distinguished professor Paul McHugh writes, the book “shape[s] what psychiatrists say and do with their patients.”

A cheap regimen of vitamins in use for decades is seen by scientists as a way to delay the start of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, a goal that prescription drugs have failed to achieve.
Drugmakers including Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., Pfizer Inc. (PFE) and Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) have spent billions of dollars on ineffective therapies in a so-far fruitless effort to come up with a treatment for dementia and Alzheimer’s.
