So far in Canada, we haven't fallen overmuch into the control hysteria that we are seeing elsewhere, although we do have a whole bunch of retards at the helm here too. > > It appears US legislators are loosing sight of what they are trying > to achieve. At least to my untrained (untrained in the legal sense) eye. The problem with legislators is that they have to legislate things in order to justify themselves.
