The business law class that I'll be wrapping up next week has forced me to take a different look into laws, government, Constitution, etc. While at one turn, it's almost painful to do - on the other side, particularly from a business perspective - we've got a sea change happening right now, one that will last for at least a couple of decades before we see much different. Just take a look at our fairly young 5/4 split Supreme Court.

Now is not the time IMO to be testing certain rights, lest we want precedence to be set by what this set of judges says. Sure, things can be overturned, but... I'd just rather wait. When "Bong Hits 4 Jesus," off campus, non-school event isn't even protected as political speech - well... frankly, that's frightening. Not to mention the many other decisions in recent history that point... well. Screw it.

All in all, Bush wasn't kidding when he said he wasn't going to be a footnote in America's history. He was going to write a chapter. And that, my friends, he has done.

But hey, I'm a business student. I'm not out to change the world or fix any problems. I'm just here to try and see what's happening and make the best decisions based on what the present and future look like.
