July 7th, 2008 · No Comments

Last week I wrote about the plight of Nashville’s Joy Ford, the country’s latest victim of Eminent Domain abuse by government.

Will the Circle be Unbroken, Part I

July 1st, 2008 · 2 Comments

What Circle? 23 Music Circle East - Nashville, TN to be precise. And broken may be the kindest way to describe what the owner of the business at that address faces. Shattered, decimated, mercilessly hounded into oblivion all come to mind to describe what Joy Ford, owner of Country International Records (CIR), […]

Straight or gay? U.S. court says Web site can’t ask

April 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

Well, it appears the infamous Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled “that a roommate-finding site cannot require users to disclose their sexual orientation, a U.S. appeals court ruled on Thursday, in the latest skirmish over whether anti-discrimination rules apply to the Web.”

Dotson, 33, went to his […]
