Well, Ian,

I grew up in the United States of the 1960s, a country just coming out of an age of legalized bigotry and entering an unjust war in Southeast Asia. I can't say I'll ever share your respect for the law. I view it all with a grain of salt - church law, civil law, and anybody who tries to tell me what to do or what to think. For me, "authority" is something to be regarded with suspicion. I think my own thoughts.

But I respect your post of view.

-Joe-
