Lawyer Arrested for Wearing a 'Peace' T-Shirt: You know, I wouldn't be a peacenik if the War side were willing to treat American citizens like human beings. Freedom is Slavery.

Bureaucrats get EBay Fever: "So far, $16,281 has been made selling objects taken from passengers at Oakland and Sacramento airports."

Sophie's World: I'm about forty pages into it. It's not a novel, at least not yet; it's a very entertaining textbook on the history of philosophy. I'm enjoying it. The device of "Sophie reads a bit of philosophy, then Sophie thinks about it" may yet get irritating, but it hasn't so far. (And I will be extremely disappointed if "Sophie Amundsen" isn't a linguistic joke on "Wisdom, the son of Man." Please don't tell me if it isn't.)

The Sophie reads a bit, then thinks about it does continue through the novel...however it does change and a very weird plot shows up so you will not be irritated by it.

So, in essensce- the state of California is selling off items it has stolen from people, and a lawyer got kicked out of a mall for wearing a peace T-shirt he'd BOUGHT THERE?

It may well be time to make tracks for Canada....

Hey, plain and simple. A mall is private property. If someone who works there tells you to leave, and you don't, that's trespassing. Considering his job, he should have known better. I'm guessing you weren't there. Neither was I. For all we know the guy was making a scene with his new shirt, starting a protest in the middle of the food court. But like I said, I wasn't there so I'm not going to make assumptions one way or the other. The one thing that is certain is he was asked to leave, and refused, so it sucks to be him.
