Reasonable Speech Control
In the wake of the massacre at Virginia Tech, the universities are racing to enact common sense "thought control" and "speech control". The framers of the constitution and the bill of rights could have in no way imagined what we might say today. Today, we have words that didn't even exist back then. Fortunately, our universities are forever peeling back the foreskin of political correctness. For example, the Boston professor fired for pointing a marker at students and saying "pow", while discussing the shootings at Virginia Tech.

You'll love this story:
Student writes story, arrested by police
and this one, right here in Colorado:
'The Yeti' arrested for threatening comments - although who could actually consider his comments threatening is completely beyond me. Goodness knows, I've felt like...wait, I'd better not say it, they'll come after me next.

Oh, I think the police did the right thing in these cases. Any time someone says something that could possibly be taken as offensive, or threatening, I think we have to incarcerate those people before things get out of hand. I think they should turn their homework into the police instead of to the teachers. After all, if they're not thinking bad thoughts, then they have nothing to fear ;)
