Sorry for the misclarity. I was replying specifically to the section I had quoted, without the context of the whole discussion. When Bob said "Your stupid argument could be used against any law that any democracy passes that forces someone to do something that they do not want to do", I was attempting to point out an example of a well-known, and much-disliked, law (set of laws) that would help to make what Bob was saying personal and understandable, and thus underline it. -todd -- KPLUG-List mailing list [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
