Hey, we agree on something, Nick. Protect your butt. Whether I'm right
or whether you're right is irrelevant here, because until the courts or
legislation says so, it's all conjecture. So no matter what you think,
my point is actually fairly simple: protect your butt, or don't be
surprised to constantly be fighting with people who don't agree with
you (or don't care what you think). And since the only way to prove
you're right is through the courts, it's better to simply not allow
others the opportunity to turn it into an issue in the first place,
whatever you feel the intellectual underpinnings are.
Me, I believe in locking the door, THEN sitting out on the porch with
my friends arguing whether I should HAVE to. Because wehther or not I
like it that way, I know what happens when I don't.
