They just installed the cable modem where i'm holed up for the winter.
I'm catching up on blogs, and found this quotable:
Foul language is like saffron, vermouth, or sea salt: A light and fearless touch adds flavor and edge that can be gotten in no other way, though a heavy hand is oppressive. - Will Baude.
My fave case on the F-word is Price v. Indiana. On New Years Eve Colleen Price said to the cop, F__ You, I wasn't doing anything wrong. She was busted for disturbing the peace. The Indiana Supreme Court found that this was protected political speech. Unfortunately, the case just lies there - the court rarely applies its own precedent. E.g. Majors v. Abell.
