So true. I think there is a fear of losing our Constitution; for if we lose that, to what shall we cling? Ultimately, Bush II was right, although without the expletive: it's just a piece of paper. Those in the higher levels of government understand that; it's high time we understood it as well.

"I believe if they set aside their law as and when they wish, their law no longer has rightful authority over us. All they have over us is tyranny, then, and I'll stay here no longer. No force on earth will keep me here. Anyone caught leavin' the fort could be shot. So each man make your own decision. Those who are goin', be back here in an hour."
