- 473: Planck v. Indiana
- Planck v. Indiana In the reviewing the case of Planck v. Indiana, many complicated issues arise. Included in those, individual rights conflicting with the public good are among the most difficult.

- 475: King William I
- ... as a nation need to return us to the subservient, useless entities that we truly are. That one thing is a king. What better man for the job than William Jefferson Clinton? A king and Bill Clinton are so utterly dissimilar that I know I must sound crazy, but just embrace this idea, however ludicrous it may sound, for just a moment. I mean think about it. Would it be that much of a change? Clinton is already, by far, the most powerful man in the universe. Let us just analyze the things that made a king and the things that make Bill Clinton. First of all, a king was able to wage war with whomever he wanted, without the approval of a legislative body. Is that not what Clinton did earlier this year? We waged a war ... child but, in my opinion, this goes too far. This method of "contraception" was overwhelmingly opposed by both the House and Senate, both Republican controlled. The Republicans did everything in their power to defeat this bill. However, along come Bubba and all of a sudden women have the right to have this atrocity performed on their partially born child. This power makes Clinton one step closer to being a king. ...
