"So you knew how I would answer before you asked?????????/"

Knew? No. Guessed.

And guessed correctly.

"What you are indicating is that there are basically as many different opinions on everything as there are people."

Some are the same.

"Since everyone is right and wrong at the same time we have anarchy."

An opinion is right or wrong? Wait, let me guess. If someone agrees with you, they're right. If they disagree, they're wrong. Meaning you are the source of ultimate truth.

Wow! I never realized that. Given that fact, can you answer a question for me? The 6th amendment mentions a right to a "speedy" trial. What exactly is that timeframe?

"The constitution is just as right and wrong as everyone else and has no correct interpretation because what one person sees everyone else sees completely different."

Because of that, the U.S. Supreme Court in 1803 declared itself the ultimate arbitor of the U.S. Constitution. I suppose you have a better solution? Perhaps "the people" should decide these constitutional issues?

Well, if we can pry them away from Wheel of Fortune for just a minute, maybe they could give us their clearly reasoned opinions about ERISA pre-emption, the doctrine of equivalents in patent law, limitation of liability in admiralty, and supplemental jurisdiction under Section 1367.

Ya think?

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness.... Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight!" Isaiah 5:20-21

How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge.... I have called and you refused, I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded, Because you disdained all my counsel, and would have none of my rebuke, I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror comes, When your terror comes like a storm, and your destruction comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you. Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me. Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord, They would have none of my counsel and despised my every rebuke. Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way, And be filled to the full with their own fancies." Proverb 1:8-31
