43. Exactly!
Paul Helmke is really a great person by showing us that if you state two extremes, you can then claim anything you want is a "middle ground". And it doesn't just work on infringments on the Bill Of Rights, you can do it for any number of issues. For instance: Some people think that inbreeding should never be done, other people think that inbreeding should be allowed. So it's obvious the most common sense middle ground is that every time you roll doubles in monopoly you have to fuck your sister.
