Reply #184: No I'm trying to preserve a state of freedom. That's another thing people fail to understand about

the Constitution. Especially authoritarians. Our forefathers primary concern was preserving freedom. Not punishing every last infraction of the law to the nth degree. In a legal system that would make the fire and brimstone of Judgement Day look like a liberal love fest. They made it very difficult for the government to take someones freedom and imprision them. Yes there are absolutely means by which a person can say, Oh yes I did break the law and oh no you can't put me in jail for it. One of those is freedom of religion in the first amendment. Some would say that's fine. It only applies to REAL religions.......like mine. Well the framers futher hobbled the government. The Government cannot declare what does and does not constitute a real relgion. If you want to worship a head of lettuce as God. You are free to do that. The government can't say that's not a real religion.
