Politics: Left, Right, and Center National, state, regional, and local politics. Who's doing what to whom, and what you can do about it. How-to-get-action messages are encouraged. "How the government fucked up my life" stories are encouraged. Sharing new methods for cheating on taxes is encouraged. Sample "letters to congresscritters" are encouraged. Apathy and "I can't do anything" posts are discouraged. Left, right, centrist, or any other form of political-economic systems are all up for discussion. Be prepared to defend yourself, or at least have a good line of bullshit ready. Extensive quoting of economists and philosophers is frowned upon. We want to hear what YOU have to say, not what some constipated, impotent, dead guy dreamt up while suffering from the DT's over a hundred years ago thought.

You guys remember that black guy before the civil war and the supreme court ruled that basically you could bring slaves anywhere couldnt the same verdict be made on handguns and bringing them anywhere. Thanks

The Dred Scott ruling was that the slave, Dred Scott, was property. Not a man. That even if he were in a state where slavery was illegal he was still a slave and property. It has nothing to do with handguns, at all.

wow, i almost see the deranged logic in it. Dred Scot was another mans property and even when his owner brought him north where he slavery was illegal, he was still the mans property. If one was from a country where crack was legal, couldnt he just as soon smoke it here if he brought it with him?
Diplomatic immunity! goddamnit...

i actualy think the case had to do with the fact that Dredd Scott had run north and his owner wanted him back but whatever.
