As you know,Kahuna,
I have taken to task,personally,the 9th Circuit in San Francisco.Before we moved to AZ from the Bay Area,we had in 1990-1,a School District Referendum with regard to displaying the American Flag in each classroom.
At the time,my oldest son was just starting Kinder/First Grade,as the 9th Circuit also pandered a referendum to ex/include grade/by age/BirthMONTH.His,in October,fell on the outer set of criterium.The Quasi Socialists at School Dist Central/Sacto had made up a story that class sizes were too large for the students.In actuality,it was a scripted inclusion in collective bargaining to avoid a Strike in the Oakland and San Francisco School Dist. Therefore,the court was defacto,in collusion with the School Dist Boards,the Unions and the Politicus de Sacramento..a big no -no.I along with thousands of other parents caught it along with others and a petition nixed it.
The Flag issue was different.It was based on the new Great Society of Berkeley Teacher's Think Tanks,the Children of 'Color',or 'New Young Citizens' may be OFFENDED by thier NEW Home's Flag!I was outraged.It was unfathomed by other parents,they had been blindsided by the new-age Polictical Correctness Rage.PC came,BTW straight from the Manifestos of Chairman Mao.It is titled,if my memory serves me,Harmonious Societal Behaviour by Politically Instituded Correct Terminology and Reference.It is tightly buried in the Original Manifesto,and is not understood well to this day.
In the '60s,'Eutopians',or wannbe hippies, from the States,Britian and Canada were looking for a 'purpose',a manifesto that they could not write for themselves,as they had no credibilty.They adopted and hacked the Maoist therum and adopted it as thier own,inclusding civil dissent and a rapid and profound change vs the evils of Capitolism.The same Capitolism,that allowed these rich young ppl to attend Universities like Wisc/Madison,Michigan,Stanford and the People's Republic of Berzerkley,my youngest son's place of birth.
These ppl became employed eventually,some wealthy and promoted a left wing agenda.Can you spell Hillary Clinton?
These ppl came into Politics on the heels of Jerry Brown(ex Gov Ca aka Gov Med-Fly) and promoted left wing Judges to the SF Circuit,which controls a large area of the West...which is considered the home of Enviro Pristeenism.
Lost Angelenos,familair with Sacto Politics argued vigorously for Colorado River Water as did Lost Wages,NV. It is still argued to this day.
The very Condo/Apt complex that I live in was built in 1997.It is located in an affluent area,next to a riparian area.When it was framed,it burned to the ground.The cause is not known,however after the terrible Oro Valley fires of 2000 where Million Dollar homes under construction,just 1 mile from here, were burned. An Enviro Group was inferred.The 9th Circuit was involved in a back dated repeal of building permits just before trial.They had been,'misplaced' apparently.
At the same time,we were trying to get a badly needed Middle School and High School built to handle the explosion of growth in the NW area of Metro Tucson.All of my sons eventually attended the Middle School after several delays of permits within a supposed endangered 'Ferrigenous Pygmy Owl' habitat,and the High School was delayed for 2.7 yrs at a cost of 3Million extra dollars.My oldest son was one of the first students to attend IronWood Ridge(aka Pygmy Owl Hi!).It is a beautiful school and does infact fit the riparian area nicely.When a Mascot was to be chosen for the new school,overwhelmingly,it was the Pygmy Owl.Unfortuantely the Amphitheater School Dist nor the 9th Circuit or Kiernan Sucling were amused.It is now the 'NightHawks'.
It seems my son and I have been at odds in the shadow of the 9th Circuit for quite sometime.I taught him to stand for what is right and to challenge peacefully an idea that has merit,but is misguided.
BTW,the Flag back in '91?A New- to- America,Vietnamese Family from Vallejo,CA sued and won....to RESTORE Old Glory to the Classrooms!Touche!
The 9th Circ. Court Of Appeals UPHELD taking out *One Nation, Under God* from the pledge of Aligance. I'm tellin' ya, ONE of these days, God's gonna say, "That's enough, you don't believe in me, just watch THIS!" How sad, I know our founding fathers are rolling over in their graves at this moment, scratching their heads and asking, "Why did we risk our lifes for, for THIS kinda BS to happen?"
