Reply #116: O.K. then.

You feel strongly about this. I applaud that. It's that type of strong feeling that hopefully sparks people to action to actually get things changed.

But do you honestly think that the time it took you to make 20 posts and replies, on this subject alone, in this thread alone, at least half of which were made to people WHO AGREE WITH YOU that this is wrong, were the best use of your time for actually getting this changed or anything done on the subject?

Did 2 people without law degrees, and presumably without even a fraction of the legal or financial means to get the supreme court to decide this case, and WHO BASICALLY AGREE arguing over that one aspect of it and agreeing on all else change a damn thing about this law or rule that you feel so strongly against? Or maybe would the time you spent on this on here have been better spent e-mailing Senators or Representatives or Governers, or making some donations to the ACLU, or writing up some petitions and getting people to sign them been a better use of your time?

That's my issue with what we've devolved into politcally.

Bad laws or rules do not equal unconstitutionality and internet debates to not equal civil or political action.
