Recession / Depression

Fancy words to say that people are having trouble with their money. Trouble paying bills, supporting their families.

The media is very fond of using fancy words to express what they have to say…..sometimes, plain speaking is the best.

People are losing their homes. People are losing their jobs. Any nest eggs that have been put away for the elderly, by the elderly,are vanishing. I hear politicians hollering that the government needs to do something. I don’t hear any clear cut ideas on what the government is supposed to do, though. The media is squawking, the politicians are squawking, most of them are running around like chickens with their heads cut off. GROSS IDEA, and about as useful, too. How did this mess get to where it is today? Greed - It doesn’t do anything, except feed itself over and above anything or anyone else. Credit card companies, banks, investors, speculators all want to make money. The only trouble is that they are pulling the rest of us down with them. Yes, I am squawking, too. I imagine that a lot of us out in the public are squawking, but who is listening?

4th Amendment of the Bill of Rights

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Right now there is a teenage girl in Arizona who has had her rights violated. some other student at the school turned a fake tip that ended with her being STRIP searched there at the school in the principal’s office.

I wonder, were her parents notified before this was done, were they even asked if the authorities were allowed to degrade her? Yes, I said degrade. Imagine that you are in school. You are taken to the principal’s office and ordered to disrobe in front of someone. Even your bra and panties are examined. Who else was in the office, who was the person who was with her there to comfort her?

This should never have had to go to court, let alone need to be judged by any court. The fourth Amendment of the Bill of Rights of the Constitution of the United States of America says:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects,
against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants
shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath, or affirmation, and
particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be
seized.

Where was her DUE PROCESS? She was stripped because of rumor, rumor only. There was no due process for her. It has happened, she will probably never forget the humiliation of having this done, all because of a rumor. If a thing has not been established by witnesses and affirmed and proven, it is a RUMOR. What happened to the rumor monger? Is this person to be persecuted in the same degrading manner as the innocent girl?

All of this was because of rumor of IBUPROFEN a drug that can be found in any drug store or grocery store. For this a girl went through something horrible? Imagine how powerless and helpless she felt.

Just because someone is in school, it does NOT mean that they have surrendered their
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS
Shame on that Arizona school and the authorities that thought they could do what ever they wanted with someone’s child.
