re: #278 McSpiff

That’s true in every situation. You’re getting back to basic founding principles of the United States (or possibly the Magna Carta). Laws only matter if they’re enforced, correct.

I wasn’t relating it history in that sort of way… just making an observation… but yes, that’s what I was trying to say. Freedom only matter if it is fair and given. We did things in WWII that were not legal and stomped on peoples freedoms.

And if there is some life and death situation, where thousands of lives are at stake, and there is the possibility that someone has the information to stop it… we’ll do it again.

I don’t agree with that… but it’s certainly possible.
