First, an apology to those that thought that the term  "sick view"
was an insult and not a pun about the comment "sick laws".

Second, an apology to those that think that 'shit' is profanity
by wouldn't hesitate to say "Oh God."  The latter is truly
profanity and the first never is.  Look it up in any dictionary.

Third, laws are NEVER bad because of rationalizations like
"I can do it because everyone else does".

Fourth, laws are bad if they interfere with individual rights
more than they benefit society as a whole.  The main object
of civilizations is to codify social behavior.  The codes include
laws, bibles, etc.  If you don't like a code, then you may be
one of the legislators or saviors of tomorrow.  Personally, I am
a voter.  The vote is mightier than the complaint on net news.
