On March 6, 1857, the Supreme Court, in Dred Scott vs. Stanford, ruled that no act of Congress or territorial legislature could make laws banning slavery. The fundamental argument was that slaves are not free and equal persons but the property of their masters. The ruling is analogous to Roe vs. Wade because today no state may make a law banning abortion to protect the unborn. The argument is similar: basically because the unborn are at the sovereign disposal of their mothers and do not have personal standing in their own right. There was no consensus in this country on the personhood and rights of salves. We were split down the middle. But the issue was so fundamental that the states went to war, and in the end the Lincoln administration overturned the Dred Scott decision. And today, 130 years later, we look back with amazing consensus and marvel at the blindness of our forefathers.

Thank you for the eight years you served as Commander and Chief of your great country, The United States Of America.
 
Because of  your great love and dedication to  your great country, you have left it a better place because you have lived, loved, laughed and served it well! 
 
Your fond memory will live on in the heart of America and in Canada with great pride, dignity, respect and a great sense of loss. 
 
Our hats are off to a fine American.   May God Bless and keep you,  Mr. President.   We salute you, and this one's for the Gipper!  God Bless America!!

Toddler Property Laws:
 
1. If I like it, it's mine.

2. If it's in my hands, it's mine.

3. If I can take it from you, it's mine.

4. If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.

5. If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in
any way.

6. If I'm doing or building something, all the pieces
are mine.

7. If it looks just like mine, it's mine.

8. If I think it's mine, it's mine.

9. If it's broccoli....it's YOURS.

 
 
"A Daughter's Letter"

 

A mother enters her daughter's bedroom and sees a
letter on the bed. With the worst premonition she reads
it, with trembling hands:

Dear Mom,

It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm telling you that I
eloped with my new boyfriend.  I found real passion and
he is so nice, with all his piercing and tattoos and his big
motorcycle.

But it's not only that mom, I'm pregnant and Ahmed said
that we will be happy in his trailer in the woods.  He wants
to have many more children with me and that's one of my
dreams.

I've learned that marijuana doesn't hurt anyone and we'll
be growing it for us and his friends, who are providing us
with all the cocaine and ecstasies we may want.

In the meantime, we'll pray for science to find a cure for
AIDS, so Ahmed will get better.  He deserves it.

Don't worry Mom, I'm 15 years old now and I know how to
take care of myself.

Some day I'll visit for you to know your grandchildren.

Your daughter,

Judith

PS:  Mom, it's not true.  I'm at the neighbor's house. I just
wanted to show you that there are worse things in life than
a report card.......... that's in my desk drawer.

 
Have a blessed Day
Dave and Barbara
