You may be missing my point. I agree with you, but it is the height of hypocrisy for politicians to legislate against behavior they happily participate in during the normal course of their occupation merely for the purposes of personal enrichment.

Here's a problem for you ~ hypocrisy is almost always little more than something seen only by the observer.

That doesn't stop folks from continuing to imagine that it is important. Moslems believe Mohammad ordered them to "kill the hypocrites".

What that means is that the burden of proof is on you to describe in infinite detail why it is there is any hypocrisy in passing laws regarding behavior, and how that applies here.

BTW, I argued from the Constitution. I see little to be gained by providing greater protection to "Who Let The Dogs Out woof woof" than to the awarding of medals and awards to our military personnel.

This is a part and parcel of what I refer to as the legal overview of the world, or at least the world as they think it should be.

You know, "OK for me, but not for thee."

And of course, the government, it seems, is run by lawyers who not only get to call the shots and rule govern, but profit very handsomely from the law's administration.

Atlas Shrugged, indeed!
