A good point, and well said - however you've missed one point - human
beings are not electrons.  The courts may well share your opinion on this
matter, but frankly given the performance of our courts lately (like for
instance on the stadium issue, sidewalk loitering, etc, I have a greater
faith in our elected representatives.  At least we, the people, have
**some** form of recourse with these individuals.
