Sir, I have enjoyed the correspondence, but I still maintain that when a
state's constitution says that Public land shall be used by all freely,
FREE means FREE, that's all that I'm saying. And when the Federal
onstitution
says "shall be secure in their possessions" this means that we should have
control over our possessions (not some one else). This concept is
strickly stated in the U.S. Constitution how can it be left up to the several
states? I definitely would have trouble enforcing these laws because of
these gray areas. I probably would make a lousy law enforcement officer.
After reading the Tennessee Blue Book, I can see many flaws in the law.
For example, a citizen has a right to a jury trial if an offense carries
a penality of more than $50.00. How often do you think that this is
granted in Tennessee?
I have enjoyed reading your replies as you seem to have a lot
of knowledge. I guess that I need to quit stirring up the hornet's
nest as I download and fax a lot of this echo to a friend in California
and I suppose that I am way off topic.
Again I have enjoyed the "argument" as much as I did the ones in Philosophy
and Classical issues , and Oral communications classes.
Take Care,
Charles Testerman
