 SK> Tom, I just saw that you are the Co-Moderator. Well, I have a
 SK> complaint.  You have taken the debate about "commandeering"
 SK> to a level of personal insult and debasement.
First, I really don't know which message you are talking about. If you don't
like some laws and have decided not to obey them, so be it. You make the
choice, you pay the price.
 SK> I DO know the Constitution. I just have a differing level of what I
 SK> will  allow per taking of personal rights disguised as law.
See the above paragraph. The law is the law.
 SK> I will not take more insult, though.
 SK> Take it to personal mail, if you wish. I can't, and won't keep
 SK> restating  myself. If you didn't understand what I said the second
 SK> time...the  third..forth...or fifth time....the sixth should have
 SK> sufficed.  Again:
That sounds like a good idea for you to take it to personal mail. Jump out of
the discussion any time you wish. Just because you don't agree with a
particular law doesn't mean that it is going to go away. Since there is a
public discussion going at this particular time here, I won't be
participating in a private debate with you in netmail. It really makes little
difference if you said something 20 or 30 times, if it contradicts the law
and it insults you for someone to tell you that, you really need to get into
a different discussion, especially if you are insulted that easily. I really
don't know what you are calling insult, but if you call disagreement and
examples for that disagreement insult, you probably need to find an echo
where your feelings won't be hurt so easily.
 SK> THE POLICE WORK FOR ME! I AM NOT A SLAVE! THE LAW CAN BE WRONG!
So, if you violate the law, and you pay them to enforce the law, what are
they supposed to do? If you don't like a particular law, use the system and
get it changed. Otherwise, choose to break it and pay the consequences.
