How can that which is fundamentally wrong, be a "right" ? In your defense, I
don't believe either you or Jeff do this out of malice. But you are using
circular logic. I say even if it's the law, it's "wrong". You say it's
"right". I ask why you think it's right, and you say because it's the law.
Explain to me why it should be a "right".
