    This nation has lost it's way. No one part of the country is safe as long as retarded laws are in place.

    Just four cookies and you're out - for 25 years

    The Guardian, Wednesday 20 June 2001 02.54 BST


    His offense was the theft of four cookies from a restaurant. His punishment was jail for 25 years to life.

    Now an appeal court in California has upheld the sentence for a homeless man who had fallen foul of the state's "three strikes" law, under which anyone committing three crimes is liable to spend between 25 years and life in jail.

    Kevin Weber has served more than five years for the theft in 1995 of the four cookies, but a Santa Ana appeal court has decided he is a career criminal and the sentence should stand. He may not be released until 2021.

    The case is the most extreme example of California's three strikes law since a man was jailed for 25 years in 1994 for grabbing a slice of pizza from some children. His sentence was reduced on appeal.

    Wow. Cookies.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    Sex offenders lists aren't just for pedohiles and child molesters. If I were arrested back when I was 19 and my wife was 17, it'd be the same thing.

    Here in the great liberal state of Mass, the age of consent for females is 17.

    in some states, you can be 'forced' to register as a sex offender if you get caught peeing in an alley.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
