And you made me hate math with the pure legwork proof you made me go through in my head. Congratulations, that is quite an accomplishment! I'll need to read some Lie Algebra stuff now.

It was assumed that you knew what those were. :P And yes, it is a pure legwork proof, and a clever undergrad should be able to figure it out. It was a nice break from covering r-balls with rho-balls.

Any ideas?

Reproductive rights portion in constitutional law. People often worry about conservative judges being appointed that will over turn abortion. They really should worry more about the fact that the cases that made abortion a federally protected right are poorly written legal messes. If I turned in a paper written like that I'd probably fail the assignment. The spend half the opinion saying what they can't and won't do, and the other half ignoring what they just said and doing exactly that. Woof.

Well, a few states have continental system influences, but no, for the most part we're based on the UK so its a bit messy. ;)

Seriously, we must kill the Cyan. We cannot allow the situation to grow any further. We must act.

How many guns have you seen around here that wasn't being carried by a police officer or forest ranger?
