Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Hmm...I detect..
...a very healthy dose of sarcasm, there.

Of course...its for the CHEELDRUN.

Lets start down that slope of invasion of privacy at the tender young ages...that way they'll be used to it when they get older.

New Do you have privacy at a school?
We've been going down this slope for a LONG time.

I seem to recall my locker could be opened by School Officials at any time.
New Correct, do you have privacy at work?
Chances are you don't, and they are watching you, monitoring your computer with Spyware, and checking who you call on your phone.

There just isn't a lot of trust and privacy out there anymore. The Schools are just the start of it. Remember the girl who got in trobule for what she wrote in her diary? It was her own private dirary, but a teacher read it and the girl got in trouble for it.

What exactly are we teaching children when we say we can't trust them and that they have no privacy?

New Just because..
...we've been heading down that slope doesn't make it better.

And your locker was >school property<. A childs hair and blood samples are NOT. Nor can any current test determine if behavior is on or off of school time.

New Property rights
are a wonderful thing, aren't they. While I'm a lefty, property rights are so key (they are the foundation to security of the person, after all) that any attempt to weaken them needs to be resisted.

New They are foundational.
And since the US has become so litigious, we all must be extremely protective of what is ours and what happens with/to it.

New One place where your (and ours, for that matter) legal
system could use some work. A lot of the times it seems like the wrong lawsuits win while the right ones lose. Woman with McDonalds coffee... surprise, coffee is hot! Major polluter of ground water that destroys farmers' livelihoods... surprise, there's nothing you can do!

It’s merely anecdotal, but someone who can severely misconstrue the meaning of “Green Eggs and Ham” has no business being considered smart.
