For Pdub, and the rest	excon	10/15/05
Hi again, Pdub: Referring to my previous question, >>>Is it good for whom?<<< It should be noted, that when I speak of what's good for "us", the "US" I am referring to is the "us", who our founding fathers called the "people". Never, never, in my wildest dreams, would I propose something that would be good for the cops in their never ending quest to lock us all up. Let me ask you a question? We've got 2 million people behind bars, AND we have the Bill of Rights. How many people do you think would be locked up if we didn't have a Bill of Rights? (a) No more. (b) Lot's more. (c) All of us. excon

Ok excon, don't be touchy now. :D I wasn't saying it's a good thing to have ridiculous old laws on the books. I was just touching the reasons why they might still exist...and believe it is a benefit to only the Police. If we didn't have the Bill of Rights, I'd suggest that the majority of our citizens would be jailed at some time in their lives. Guess that puts me at (b). However, I think there are many locked up right now who didn't fight for their rights because it's costly & time consuming to hire lawyers. Pdub
