Stick to the banjo stuff, Jody--Justinian expanded the Byzantine Empire to it's greatest size--he died in 565AD and his Empire did not collapse into "darkness", even then--it lasted until 1453--Western Europe may have gone into the Dark Ages after the fall of Rome(which was before the time of Justinian, in about 462 or something), but the Byzantine Empire definitely did not--

"Well-Regulated" may refer to the militia in the second amendment, but, as I indicated in an earlier post, the militia was derived from the greater population (i.e. the PEOPLE) whose right to own arms is clearly stated.

Of course it says the right of the people..a militia is made up of people. And it also says A WELL REGULATED militia. Please address that phrase,

Militias were organized according to a military model in terms of officers, NCOs, periodic drills, regulations, etc. Hence "well-regulated." However, while the militia was well-regulated, the people maintained fundamental rights of firearm ownership which made the existence of the militia possible.

Mmmm ! I have before me a compensation order issued by Caerphilly Magistrates against two yobs who stole and trashed my car last year. The order is 12 months old.

PC Plod got lucky - The doors jamed and the little B****ds could not run for it when the Police showed up.

Needless to say I have not seen a penny of compensation, and I suspect that writing to the Court would just be a waste of a stamp.

I doubt if the fines have been paid either. My only consolation is that one of the S*** was remanded in custody, he was already on bail for a similar offence.
