We should require each child to wear a backpack containing five 2-pound battery-operated devices, each connected to an electrode attached to the skin. These should be worn even while showering and sleeping. Then we can watch them on 24 hour survellance cameras and shock them from a distance when we see behavior of which we do not approve. <BR/><BR/>Oh wait, it looks like someone else had this idea first. It seems this progressive school even has further measures at the ready in case the backpack therapy is not enough.<BR/><BR/><I>On several occasions, Rob was tied facedown to a four-point restraint board and shocked over and over again by a person he couldn't see.

Conservatives live by the wisdom that's in the Good Book. <BR/><BR/> The Taser people really need to start making the tasers in the shape of a rod. <BR/><BR/>Think of the marketing opportunities!<BR/><BR/> Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell's son could start giving rod shaped tasers with an appropriate donation to the flock. <BR/><BR/><BR/>No wonder the taser stock is in the dumps.

This is condescending. The guy was not calm but he was peaceful, and he was engaged in political speech, which was effectively silenced. <BR/><BR/>I guess it's ok if a crazy liberal gets tased, you know if he's obnoxious, regardless of his rights, and of course for the calming of society, so they all fall in line should they upset authority.<BR/><BR/>This was a bad event for the blogosphere, just revealing that 90% of it consists of partisan hacks.
