I'm quite sure that if I were to suggest a law whereby you were banned from offering your opinions and ever speaking again, or else you would be hung, drawn and quartered, and it was passed, you wouldn't have so much support for 'the law by which this country is governed' then.

Honestly...from what you're saying, why don't we let any old fool off the street pass a new law which may of course endanger anyone of us, but let it pass, because of course that is 'the law'.

You know nothing about me - only your incorrect assumptions - so why are you surprised?

What I am saying is that people who have no idea of the bigger picture really shouldn't get too heavily involved in conversations such as this one when they have so littel understanding on the matter but think they do not need to understand to be able to offer up some rational reason for the beliefs....- proven by your comment about ''letting any old fool pass a new law''.

That confirms your own lack of knowledge on the subject. It seems clear that you have not the remotest idea of what is involved in passing a new Law? Often requiring many years of deliberation / consideration / consultation by official bodies (including non governmental and independant ones) that are involved, the stages involved, the time that it takes and what is involved.
