God, I loved "Firefly"

#2 anti-capitalist protests is the most honest description of the occupy movement I've seen so far.

How about "temper tantrum" of spoiled 5 years old?

#5 Amendment 13 - Slavery Abolished. Ratified 12/6/1865.

1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

It's been the courts that have 'interpreted' that little phrase out of usage.

#6 So, being told to vacate property that is not yours is "violent," but calls to have property that is rightfully yours expropriated by others is "social justice..."

#7 We already have Darth - at least here in Washington State (and every other non-right-to-work state).

You must be indentured to the union or not work.

#9 No need to insult 5-year-olds, grom.

"I think it is time we bring back indentured servitude."

Won't work, Darth. Somebody would have to actually want them....
