So, John Roberts, wanna be SCJ of the SCOTUS?

If I were interviewing Roberts or anyone else tentavely appointed to the US supreme court, I would ask them to comment on this proposition:

"After love, the most precious gift one human being can give to another is their labor.
In a free society, no one should be obliged to supply – nor should they be allowed to demand – either."

What do you think, spavesters? Am I nuts, or what?

If I'm not nuts, maybe I should finally write that book.

(It's sure taken me long enough to work out the thesis.)

But people can demand what they want. However, others have the option of obliging.

True enough, Skogg. Semantic diff, but worthy of note.

Does that mean you can demand that I work for half salary and fire me if I don't. Does that mean you can demand that I make my child help if I can't get all my work done or get fired? Does that mean you can hold a gun to my head and demand my money and my only option is to say no? Tsk. Skogg. (of course, I never have any money)

1. South Dakota is unfortunately one of those states where we can fire employees at will. My advice? Always try to get an employment contract.

2. Child labor is illegal, so that's one thing I can't demand.

3. I would never do that. My weapon is my wit.

If I start a religion, that will be the name of the crypt where I keep "The Book."

I just decided that CJ Scotus would be a good name...AND it's the abbreviation for "Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States"

Hi...I'm CJ Scotus.

I need to go to bed.
