"I do not know what the spirit of a philosopher could more wish to be than a good dancer. For the dance is his ideal, also his fine art,finally also the only kind of piety he knows, his "divine service." - Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900)

What a joke . . .
Yesterday, on the front page of the LA Times, I read a story about the Supreme Court's new rulings on the election laws concerning corporate contributions and specific advertising. I am sure you heard about it. The corporations won. What really struck me though was the comment by Chief Justice Roberts that "We give the benefit of the doubt to (free) speech, not censorship." Directly below the quote at the end of the column was a related story box pointing to a ruling by the same court rejecting the right of a student to post a sign "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" on a public street outside a school. Free speech? I guess not.
