Uh-huh, yes, I think it's dumb to think of outlawing the right of mental creatures to engage their faculties to their full potential, especially in a country which defined encroachments upon it as a crime. "Unreasonable" people will always try to get something for nothing, with nothing, while in conflict with those who could & would develop the means to deliver it. .. Blanc
