*sigh*

I was told by a police officer today that "skateboarding anywhere in the city of manchester is illegal" except for the skateboard park. The skateboard park is frequented by punks and such, and also has nothing to do with longboarding. I can ride in empty parking lots, though. great.

In other great news, i heard congress has legalized torture. Or at least can decide what is torture and what isn't, which is the same thing. I'm fairly certain we're breaking international law. Oh but don't be afraid, it's not like they can just abduct you in the night and torture you for no reason. We have had rights in this country. Oh well, i wasn't using my civil liberties anyway.

Torture Bill States Non-Allegiance To Bush Is Terrorism

In the bill, which you can access at the library of congress is this terrible line (see section 950j):

(b) Provisions of Chapter Sole Basis for Review of Military Commission Procedures and Actions- Except as otherwise provided in this chapter and notwithstanding any other provision of law (including section 2241 of title 28 or any other habeas corpus provision), no court, justice, or judge shall have jurisdiction to hear or consider any claim or cause of action whatsoever, including any action pending on or filed after the date of the enactment of the Military Commissions Act of 2006, relating to the prosecution, trial, or judgment of a military commission under this chapter, including challenges to the lawfulness of procedures of military commissions under this chapter.

angry, longboard
