No one has ever called me a sheep, and I am VERY conservative, but remember, 
liberties are not voluntarily surrendered en bulk, but rather by little 
nibbles..... "some one should do something", "I'm offended", "I don't see why 
some one should/ would...." and "there should be a law" are the greatest 
threats to individual rights the world has ever seen.  Remember, the road to 
hades (slavery and a nanny state) are paved with good intentions.
