Supreme Court Racial & Gender Comments

Sonia Sotomayor looks like she is going to get a pass on her racist "wise Latina"preferential comment. Also her racist affirmative action credentials demonstrated in her ruling against the white firefighters in the "Ricci Case"certainly leave no doubt that race matters in her decisions.

Let me say that Sonia looks better than the Jew Ruth Bader Ginsburg but less attractive compared to the black Clarence Thomas. That comparison has nothing to do with the law nor does affirmative action have anything to do with the law.

Exxon, Valdez Captain Hazelwood Judgments: New Values Needed

What should be the penalty for the death and destruction of app. 500,000 seabirds, 5000 sea otters, 12 river otters, 300 harbor seals, 250 bald eagles, 22 Orcas (killer whales), billions of salmon and herring eggs and a toxic residue of oil in the sea bed that will linger for hundreds of years? The Supreme Court has decided to hear Exxon's appeal of $2.5 billion punitive damages award against it for it's 1989 spill of 11 million gallons of oil in Alaska's pristine Prince William Sound.

Years ago, Captain Joseph Hazelwood of the tanker Exxon Valdez which ran aground and spilled the oil was accused of being drunk while in command of the vessel. He was cleared of that charge. But he was found guilty of a " midemeanor charge of negligent discharge of oil". For this violation, he was fined $ 50,000 and had to serve 1000 hours of community service.

That's woefully not adequate to the damage that he was reponsible for. This paltry penalty points out the overvaluation of the human in comparison to the natural world. With that kind of legal logic, it's only a matter of time before our natural world is sacrificed on the alter of the human's wrongly inflated opinion of itself. New values have to be reflected in our laws that down grade the human and upgrade the increasingly dwindling natural world.

Supreme Court: School Integration, Segregation & Equality

We are known by our differences. Saying and passing laws that we are all equal doesn't make it so. Any law that codifies segregation is wrong. But also any law that codifies integration is equally wrong.

Yesterdays Supreme Court decision to limit and/or exclude race in any school population schemes is long overdue. Ever since America's school system went political and changed it's focus from educating students to pursuing the myth and lie of equality overall student grades have gone down. Schools are about teaching. Keep it simple.
