That structure is already there ins several places. Bill of Rights, White Paper,
1996 Telecommunications Act, ect... Is it necessary to add it again in

Not at all, I say that the RAM, is responsible to defend himself against
the wolf and protect his eus, right? This is mearly a defensive construct,
