Play with me!

So being unemployed has its perks. I've been reading some heavy bits of work lately. So far I'm about half way through the Supreme Court Brief on the D.C. gun Ban. It's rather interesting and so far the dissenting opinion makes a valid argument. In essence they say the Majority is constructing a new foundation on which to bas their argument which is an awful precedent to set. Court decisions should evolve, not start anew,

Anyway I'm also reading a book I got in Brighton called The War against the Weak, It's about America's campaign in the early 20th century to eugenically cleanse the US of "undesirables". Again also pretty deep. So far I've learned that Rockafeller and Carnegie were Huge supporters of it and donated lots of money to the cause, and that genetics evolved after the war from eugenics after everyone realised what Hitler had tried to do, which was in essence a Eugenics campaign started from an American foundation. Opps.

But aside from that I mostly sit at home and entertain myself in free ways. I can't really afford to do much else.
