For my Libertarian friends

Sorry but I feel so good about this. People giving abusers a little of their own medicine. It should happen more. Abusers with a badge, the worst

In prison you get fed. If nobody sells you food, you don't.

They could make her do community service.

I somehow doubt that enough businesses would forgo her patronage to legitimately make her life hell like that. But maybe they surprise.

Am I misreading something?

It seems to me that private charity was more effective than government programs, and the journalist's conclusion is more government programs?

Free market! :P

Read the law well HP. It implies that people have to stop any stopped bus that is unloading children. Pat had to go after the bus that was already stopped, and stop it. Interpretations abound as to what he would have had to do; I would favor the two major thought currents in the scholar world: a) he had to stop the bus from unloading children, ergo he had to forcefully close the door of the bus by parking his car right next to it; or, b) after the children step out of the bus, Pat would have had to park in fron of the bus thus stopping it from further movement.

He's in debt to society. For that, he should pay a 70% tax on his income till the day he dies or wear a Che Guevara t-shirt till every hour of every day till he's 50.

Little do you know I actually respect Che.

He was an idealist and dies defending what he believed in. But I'm sure you don't particularly love 1) his ideas about society and the way it should be run; 2) what he has come to represent after his death

No I don't like what his symbol has come to mean.

However, he was a freedom fighter who sought to overthrow an oppressive government. I respect that.
