Felix Gallo posts what I read as a sincere and partly moving message. Unfortunatly, I have difficulty with part of his central logic, which essentially argues that the law should be what he thinks it should be, rather than what the elected representatives of the people made it. He is, of course, correct that anyone without adequate funds is in a very weak position to challenge what they think are unfair laws, unless they can get one of the large number of public interest law firms (another wonderful thing about our country), to take their matter. Given the existence of such firms, though, the situation here isn't as bad as he fears. Dunno about the U.K., though, since I haven't lived there since 1962. David
