 CT> Sir, I have enjoyed the correspondence, but I still maintain that when

 Apparently your state constitution has provisions to modify or amend it. 
 Just like all good Constitutions.
 CT> Federal Constitution says "shall be secure in their possessions" this
 CT> means that we should have control over our possessions (not some one
 CT> else).
 Well, I guess you must live in another country because I have those rights.
 Short of atomic bombs I can own (and control) just about anything I want.
 And I usually try and "control" those possesions in a many that doesn't
 disturb my neighbors and complies with the laws (even though I may disagree
 with some of them) that the community has established. 
 CT> Blue Book, I can see many flaws in the law. For example, a citizen has
 CT> a right to a jury trial if an offense carries a penality of more than
 CT> $50.00. How often do you think that this is  granted in Tennessee? 
 
 I would say MOST of the time. Parking tickets, etc. excluded.
 CT> Again I have enjoyed the "argument" as much as I did the ones in
 CT> Philosophy and Classical issues , and Oral communications classes.
 
 That would have been interesting, I'm sure.
