Prior to 1968 people did this all the time."

Prior to the 13th amendment people had slaves. Your point?

Simple. The Thirteenth Amendment increased human freedom, while the CGA '68 diminished it. Individual human freedom is supposed to be one of the primary things this country is about. That was the point, and it's an extremely simple point to grasp...

Thanks. Robert Paulson seems to have trouble grasping the fact that just because a law or regulation says something, or because the government does it, that it isn't necessarily right or legal. Governments are made up of people, people who are very self-serving, greedy and power-hungry...at our expense.
