TC the Terrible

As much as I hate to admit it, the cat really is in the cradle. It might be time to fix that.

I really don’t get the dilemma that Ruth Marcus of the Post is crying about today.  Children don’t, and never have had, an expectation of privacy from their parents.  If a parent thinks a kid is up to something, then the parent has the right to do some snooping to find out.  

It may piss the kid off for a few days, but in the end it is the job of the parent to do what they see fit to raise their child.  And if the parent is not putting the child’s life in jeopardy then everyone else needs to stay out of it.  Keeping tabs on kids may not be cool, but it is the right thing to do.

Speaking of doing the right thing, the Supreme Court of the United States of America did something right yesterday too.  They told the tree hugging, wanna be Frenchmen running liberal colleges that if they want to keep getting federal dollars (and being liberal they certainly do) then Army recruiters have to be allowed on the campuses.  

For legal professors they should have known that trying to tie recruiters to the ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy would never fly.  They simply don’t connect.  Even if you think that the policy is wrong and needs to be dropped.  There are arguments on both sides that have merit, but I have work to do and can’t devote that kind of energy to the blog today.

Back with more tomorrow.
