Please don't ignore our comments about proper government roles. I just want people to be suspicious of government involvement and to clearly show what rights stem their pet projects, thus identifying where government can derive authority to regulate. If you can trace your pet project to a basic human right then go for it! Don't just make blanket statements about compromise and balance without providing or using any guidelenes on just how to acheive said balance. Von Fugal
