   Christ!  Who wants to violate you?  You are obviously one of those who   
   thinks themselves so significant that someone in real authority would   
   take the time to design something specifically against you.  I hate to   
   tell you this, but as things go, neither you or I are important enough   
   in the scheme of things for such people to take notice of.

   Perhaps that's because laws passed by Congress still have to get   
   Presidential approval, and meet the test of Constitutionality.

   Like an arse hole, everyone has an opinion.
