"...Polls claim that a majority of Americans objected to action by the U.S. Congress in the Schiavo case as "government intrusion" into a "private family matter" – as if Judge Greer is not also the government.pingSo twisted is our view of the judiciary that a judicial decree is treated like a naturally occurring phenomenon, like a rainbow or an act of God." - Ann Coulter
The government's first duty should be to preserve the life of it's citizens. Perhaps a very close second would be the duty of government to preserve the sanctity of it's territory. If a nation cannot preserve either of these, it's a pretty pi$$ poor government.
That's what we wound up with, applogies to our forefathers.
Thanx for the ping, RD.
