The pledge of allegiance and the religion of the State

http://www.examiner.com

An appellate court has rejected arguments that the pledge of allegiance violates the wall of separation between church and state. Judge Bea said schools do not require students to recite the pledge. When I was 10 I was given detention for asking what the words actually meant and refusing to stand until I understood. Even without this phrase "under God" the pledge is designed to inculcate the most nefarious form of idolatry, the worship of an omnipotent, omniscient omnibenevolent government.

Pregnant woman imprisoned because she might hurt her unborn baby

http://apnews.myway.com

Samantha Burton wanted to leave the hospital.
Her doctor strongly disagreed, enough to go to court to keep her
there.

She smoked cigarettes during the first six months of her pregnancy and
was admitted on a false alarm of premature labor. Her doctor argued
she was risking a miscarriage if she didn't quit smoking immediately
and stay on bed rest in the hospital, and a judge agreed.

Imprisoned because one smokes. What's next?

There Are More Slaves Today Than at Any Time in Human History

http://www.alternet.org

I want to be very clear what I mean when I say the word slavery. If you look it up in Webster's dictionary, the first definition is "drudgery or toil." It's become a metaphor for undue hardship, because we assume that once you legally abolish something, it no longer exists. But as a matter of reality for up to 27 million people in the world, slaves are those forced to work, held through fraud, under threat of violence, for no pay beyond subsistence. It's a very spare definition.
