Nicely said, Lightning.
ETA: With all due respect to Handog, who was in a position none of us wants to experience (though, in fairness, I'm sure similar incidents have occurred to others): This has been a good discussion, even with the deep feelings it stirred up.
As far as changing to more convenient laws, I'm all for it. However, realize that we will never have perfect laws in a democracy, and so we must continue to learn how to do our part, while still fully exercising our freedoms. Maybe the old saying is appropriate here: "There are two things one should never watch being made: Sausage, and law."
I really believe the best thing about this is that it demonstrates that these forum members work very hard to stay within the law.
The vast majority of threads I've seen on this forum deal with questions about how to do just that, and I strongly want that to continue. As I've said before, all points of view are important (long as they stay away from the comments giving some DC legislators something to talk about these days, of course, IMHO).
