PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
I think I just have a different threshold of when fear allows me to shoot people and feel I do not have to pay for my actions with jail time.
I may be a bit more of a pacifist than some on this board, so I find shifts to increase the ability to justify killing something to be cautious about.
I hope we can all agree we have too many people shot and killed in this country, even though I'm pretty sure a scary (to me) nmber of the elected officials seem to be acting as if they think there isn't nearly enough.
I guess I misunderstood when you seemed be heading in the direction of implying the court should never question the legislature and should merely enforce whatever laws the legislature of the moment has enacted. I may prefer more struggle between the branches as I think that helps keep us from straying too far in any given direction but allows for progress to be made sometimes in spite of those who would oppose any progress at all.
As for my reference.
There was a scandal in Florida with on-line gambling and bogus charities. The Lt. Governor ended up resigning over the flap and the legislature decided to try to ban internet cafes or web connected slot machines, but in the haste to make hay while the political sun was shining the vaguely worded law seems to be capable of banning any device in the state that can connect to the tubes of the interwebs. link
