Got it. But shirley you must realize that the fickle character of mankind dictates (ugh) some sort of societal contract, especially in this high-tech weaponry and nano-second communications era. Then there's always the just plain evil types who need to dictate (haha).

Unfortunately, men do need controls to live in peace with each other in an ever shrinking World. The trade-off point is the debate. But we certainly don't need what our out-of-control politicians have brought on us for decades now.
