It's one of those funny little ideas that liberty should be preserved (albeit the concept seems to be dying out these days).

Reminds me of those silly essays they tried to have you write for scholarships. "How to Balance Freedom and Security". Right now we are leaning more towards the security side but it is a balance. Their is a definite tradeoff between the two. "Do you want police busting down your door, taking you downtown, suspending habeus corpus, torturing you until you admit to crime you didn't commit, and sentencing you without a lawyer or jury or with reasonable doubt or do you prefer getting attacked by terrorist? Personally I prefer somewhere in the middle.

Lawyers are alright by me. I guess I have some of the questioning and looking for loopholes. My school must of done a horrible job at creative problem solving..huh? But I guess that should be in the public vs. private thread. But really they are just people doing a job. Stereotypes aren't particularly good. Let lawyers be lawyers and engineers be engineers.
