Hypothetical Question

[Southern Breeze]

Are you speaking hypothetically?

I'd wear my kilts and as the government troops swarmed down to arrest the loyal kilted all assembed with our backs to the water I'd hobble forth on my cane and stand in their way boldly proclaiming "They will stop for me. I'm a Princess of Egypt!" Woops, sorry, having a flashback to the Cecil B Demiles version of the Ten Commandments. :rolleyes: *giggle* It's that time of year.

Seriously, you'd find my butt in a courtroom faster than you can so go mounting a legal challenge to that law.

How about this scenario; suppose the government got the people to believe through deceit that they were liable for a tax but no law was ever written to make the people liable for it and the government prosecuted innocent people for not paying it. How long would you put up with it? Would you continue to allow the government to incarcerate innocent people or would you put a stop to it?

I think we already know the answer to that one... supposing that most people were unaware of the fact that no law was ever written, but believed it was...

I can only read Prison Planet every so often as what I read there just doesn't do good things for my stress level. The question we should all be asking isn't one about hypothetical kilt laws, but about the so-called "hate speech" laws that lobbyists are trying to push through Congress.

Will you still use your voice to criticize your government after they outlaw dissent? As Communist apparatchiks everywhere discovered, you don't have to kill a lot of people to make everyone else shut up.
