		Once again, the Supreme Court proves to be gutless
They'll find any excuse they can to avoid the truly "tough"(1) issues these days. (URL) I don't consider this a tough issue, but it's politically tough, and the SC is pretty much in the political branch of govt these days. -- Tom Stangl *(URL) (...)

		Re: Question for the Conservatives out there
(...) The problem here is the conflation of legal notion with absolute reality. Rights are the legal/political expression of an aesthetic that nearly everyone (involved in the discussion) supports. While I wrote before that I was siding with John, (...) (20 years ago, 18-Jun-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

I don't think it's fair to automatically categorize being to the point as being unfriendly. To address (...) (20 years ago, 20-Jun-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Well, news programs constantly use punch/pun titles, and no one complains about it (except when the torrent of stupid puns overwhelms the discourse (such as when Trent Lott pined for the days of segregation: "Lott of Trouble," "Lott of (...)

		Re: Metru Nui Goes Political
(...) Obviously, LEGO is too politically correct (and marketing savvy) to openly criticize American political policies. In fact, pushing a Soviet-style marketing campaign is probably cutting-edge daring for them. But that doesn't mean such (...)

Just as I said I'd have more respect for Clinton if he (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jun-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

		Metru Nui Goes Political
Lego has put up a teaser about the Vahki enforcement squads in Mertu Nui. Substitute "Department of Homeland Security" for "Vahki" and "Constitution" for "law" and you have an all too topical bit of agitprop. "Matoran are disappearing." Indeed. (...)

		Re: Metru Nui Goes Political
(...) Yeah, very true. The entire Vahki/Metru Nui saga is taking a Soviet turn (as is the US, IMO). The press release for the Vahki has a new tagline: "Surrender or Run". The fonts and artwork style used on the ad collateral is very reminiscent of (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jul-04, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

		Re: Metru Nui Goes Political
(...) Considering they had seven "books" plotted out (of which we are in the 2nd) before they even started designing the first sets, I think you're reading a little too much into this. Also, considering the Vahki are accompanied by faux-Cyrillic (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jul-04, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
