Hi Steve, Isn't tea bagging a sex act to stimulate orgasm in the erect male? It comes out of fraternity speak. What frat are you a member of, gamma gamma gamma? Maybe you are using it in a different way, but I wonder.
Yes, I heard the debate, I thought Coons looked like a complete idiot. When asked what rights are presented in the first amendment he did not have a clue. Doesn't that tell you something? They are rights to protect the individual from the government. And the laughter from law students was indeed telling of the kind of education they are getting there. Ambulance Chaser 101. Use the law to make lots of money, get lots of power, and become president of the United Sates. Sad I think, and dangerous. But then again, using science to define morality is no different. However, it all depends on what the meaning of the word is is. :-) Cheers, Mark On Thu, Oct 21, 2010 at 10:52 AM, Steven Peterson <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Mark, > > > > 118: > > That the US is prevented from being a theocracy is written in the first > > amendment in the establishment clause.
