Which brings up the question of, in this time of information overload, does there exist anywhere, in chart form, something that demonstrates what individual and collective freedoms, stated or absent of any defining law specifically prohibiting, that were in existence 200 years ago, versus it's existing status today? Obviously there will be things which didn't exist then such as digital copyright laws, but limited to say, strictly human rights. Obviously there will be laws that also existed then that are not applicable either, like hitching your horse outside a house of ill repute on a Sunday. Admittedly this can be wildly variable and open to interpretation, but is there a baseline anywhere, or is this the one thing left that nobody's created a graph of?significantly stronger afterwards. It all comes back to states rights, and how the war really began to define them in a meaningful way.===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J.
