  1. cobble and cgar,

    that’s ok,
    nobody was hurt and we all got the day off
    while the police dusted and fingerprinted the place.

    …next time I’ll tell you about the time I was working in Pizza Hut and one of my psycho co-workers confided in me about his plans to blow away some dude with an assortment of half broken guns he kept behind his driver’s seat and was all too eager to show me. 😉

  2. I thought so, too, but these questions keep coming to mind. So the point of the second amendment is so that the people can threaten their own elected representatives with violence and overthrow them by force if they don’t vote the way the people want? But we don’t have to continue this.

    I actually haven’t read the Sunstein and am not trying to defend his views. I was just curious whether he is arguing for a reinterpretation of the First Amendment within constitutional bounds, but different than current caselaw, or whether he really wants a different kind of amendment. I honestly don’t know what he thinks about this. But, for example, I could see the recent FEC decision going the other way consistent with the Brandeis view and without a fundamental alteration of the amendment or alienation of individual rights and liberties. I am curious about the substance of what Sunstein is advocating that you think goes well beyond that.

    Anyway, to be continued, or not. But I have to run.

  3. Rob, there was a CSC on Astor Place near the corner of Broadway. I don’t know if it’s still there. I used to work around the corner, but that was a couple of years ago. I think there’s one on the Upper East Side somewhere, but who goes there anyway?

    The ice cream is ok, nothing to write home about. Snaps is right, the fun is adding stuff to it and watching them mix the ingredients in.
