It's quite something to watch your child grow up. Much is expected, and comes as no surprise, but much is unexpected. These are the moments that I find more rewarding.
#2 Son is 14. He's not particularly political. But he sent me this:
For those of us who swing libertarian, this sort of thing is the signal, that we have a chance with the next generation. That they can realize that there are a lot of folks who want to prevent them from doing all sorts of things, for their own good.
#2 Son has realized this, and doesn't like it. That he realizes in his gut what the First Amendment means. I think that this is a bright line that he's crossed, and that in a way, will never be a child again, at least not in that way.
Good.

Good on you, Daddy Borepatch :)
Paladin, thanks. I try to leave suggestions around. But you can lead him to libertarianism; you can't make him drink.

One can only hope that there's a massive earthquake on the San Andreas Fault, and Nevada suddenly becomes beachfront property...
Frank Zappa fought this fight against Tipper Gore...I can't believe that KommieFornia just can't leave well enough alone.
6 to 3 in Scotus, striking down California's argument. That should put the issue to bed once and for all.
