[> [> Note that they made being drunk in public a crime. You don;t have to be disorderly or doing something dangerous like driving. Just sitting quietly, although drunk, in a public place is sufficient cause for arrest because of what one might do later. Yup, a pre-crime crime. However, if the bar owner is drunk and lives upstairs, is he in public or home? A lawyer friend of mine who lives nearby is not bothered by this at all. -- SurveyGuy (people do not seem to understand how liberties are stripped away under the guise of protecting someone), 18:53:55 01/17/03 Fri (maxtnt04-172.phlpa.fast.net/209.92.96.172)

[> [> [> eminds me of a Bruce Cockburn lyric:
"sudenly it's repression, moratorium on rights/
what did they think the politics of panic would invite?/
person in the street shrugs "security comes first"/
the trouble with normal is it always gets worse."
from "The Trouble with Normal" -- H_Bergeron, 05:16:58 01/19/03 Sun (pcp02148573pcs.neave01.pa.comcast.net/68.81.252.202)
