I hate being woken by Campus Safety. And now? Now I go down to the parking office. Remember me.

Read this /. article on sex offenders and tracking them with GPS for the rest of their life first.

Let's go over the reasons for imprisionment again:

• Punishment—Simply, "tsk, tsk, don't do that again." Frankly, a bad justification, as we are not three-year-olds.
• Deterrant—Obviously you ain't doin' a good job of deterring people if you cannot trust them to not do it again!
• Reformation—See above

This country really needs to take a long, critical look at its attitudes and policies towards sex, violence, punishment, love, drugs, and everything else. I pray we can get at least one slightly more sane law on the books from it.

You gotta fight, for your right, to speech?!

Since the political posts are going over so well:

Republicans believe the darnedest things. (No, I do not believe that the whole right-left thing is this simple, but it makes some nicely cogent points.)

Did you know that Bill Frist wants to make Fillibustering unconstitutional? Princeton students are fillibustering him (or his building at least).

One of the few reasons I'd come back to RIT is if Mindless Self Indulgence were to play here. Imagine the poor interpreters!
