Statement of Principles


Nevada government keeps getting bigger and BIGGER. We deserve minimum, strictly limited, constitutional government in this State.

Forget all this blather about a $3B "shortfall". The budget for the '12/'13 biennium should be no more than $200M.

Free Speech Banned in CCSD

Originally excised from a LVRJ Forum

You misunderstand.

A movie theatre is *private* property. The operator sells you a ticket. He can *eject* you for being noisy. If you don't like his rules, go someplace else. A public school is *public* property. Free speech rules apply. Every time. That's what the constitutional gurarentee is all about.

Here we go, again. The government creates a right out of thin air and the next thing you know, some minority class which just wants to be left alone must defer to a majority who wishes to "exercise" that right. In the case of public education, kids who don't want to be there are *forced* to sit quietly in a classroom for 6 hours (or else). Sorry, but there's NO WAY you can deny those kids a right to speak on their phones, especially if they're being considerate. If their inattention disturbs you, too bad.

The same goes for drivers.

Once again, BIG Government creates conflicts which only lawyers debating ad infinitum can resolve. You know, questions like:

"Should guns be allowed in public schools?", and
'Should Hotel Thayer be required to offer Kosher food?'

Resolutions of which would inevitably *reinforce* BIG Government. To use the classroom example, some Judge who knows *nothing* would issue a ruling which "balances" rights, but he'd NEVER sign an opinion which observes that the government has set up a situtation where conflicts are inevitable and if the government would just butt out of education the entire problem would go away.

  1. Are you kidding me? You know we are completely subordinate to the Federal Govt right? Talk about fretting over the swimming pool while the house is on fire. I guess somebody has to do it, even if it means missing the forest for the trees.

  2. Wow... worst example ever. You think we should let kids do whatever they want in school while everyone pays taxes that pays for their school? Imagine that we pay less taxes but you have to pay for your kid's school in a private school. You pay X amount of $ for your kid's classes and your kid doesn't learn anything and just sits in class and does nothing but talk on the phone. Totally the right way to spend your money. Kids are prohibited to use their phones because everyone pays taxes to put them there for free and if they aren't learning the we're all wasting money putting them there. I don't pay taxes so that your kids can talk on the phone in class.

  3. Talking on a cell phone in the classroom is not a right. What is a right is that every child has the opportunity to gain an education. Students that are using a cell phone during instruction are causing a huge disruption and severely limiting the learning that is occurring for the other students. Yet again you share the dumbest ideas.

  4. Hey I just wanted to send you a note about what you said about the Smith Center today on the RJ site. You're an idiot, a true moron. You deserve to be miserable. Your a greedy UN-american piece of guano. All you care about is that you are getting a piece of something everyone else is getting. You make me sick.

  5. Who is this n7v coward? I would argue someone with this much opinion would have a little backbone to stand by his opinions which are poorly written and most not based in anytype of fact. Poorly researched if any is done. People like ol yeller stain here is a no body.
