Lawyers playing games with the law are basically respon- sible for our system being out of balance. If the state says you don't have to wear a helmet, they are condoning, supporting, and promoting irresponsible action and are responsible for your injuries, right? If the state "legalizes" drugs, then they are responsible for someone who abuses them, right? They are sending a message that it is OK, right? If the state doesn't make laws that say homosexuallity is perverse, then they are trying to recruit more gays, right? WRONG! Stay out of peoples private lives. If they want to kill themselves - that should be their choice! George (no more land of the "free") La Belle
