Amos your over-reaction when you perceive any criticism of our unpaid volunteers reminds me of that Monty Python sketch. The one where the customer is accused of not being fit to lick the boots of the poor chef - when all the customer initially, and reasonably asks the waiter for is a clean fork.

Let us turn the argument around a little bit. If you lived in a state where you had policing and police but no rules to protect you from these police - would it really be so unreasonable to ask for some rules?

Would there be a time in the development of this state when it may be reaonably safe to make this request and would there be a time when making this request would not be a safe course for an individual?
