You guys are truley unbelievable. Didn't you attend school and have civics classes?
This has got to be a joke that people who claim to be hunting for so manyyearsdon't even know the basics of functioning in a democracy.
I'm thinking we are dealing with some kids here who articficially age themselves in here in order to get some undeserved credibility.
Why aren't you in school?
I notice the spelling is usually about 7th grade level on some posts but I also do that sometimes when I hurry. Guess yunz are always hurrying.
(yunz is purposely mispelled)
This entire topic of wanting special privledges for being a landowner is not democracy. Ya need to look into moving to some European states that haven't switched to democracy yet. Maybe ya could become a Czar.
Hahaha -- kids, ain't they something?
Maybe you needthe civics refresher course! We DON"T LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY we live in a DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and one of the most important differences is that a lawmay not standjust because the majority wants it.The founders hated the idea of democracy.They knew that majority rulewould be just as tryanical as a tryrant king. They therefore set up a system to protect us from peple who think like you.
In our country, laws enacted by a legislature may be challenged at any time and if found unconstitutional by the judiciary will be thrown out. It happens all the time and this isthe basic question of this thread. Are some of the laws like requiring a landowner to wear certain colors while hunting on their own land legal or not? That, my friend, is a very valid question in our DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC. In my opinion it's not only the right of a citizen to question laws but their duty. Maybe it's you who should think about moving to a European state where the state makes whatever law they choose and a citizen has no right and may even be jailed for questioning it.
Do land owners have special privelges? In this country, absolutely they do and those rights/privilegesare gaurenteed by the constitution and can not be legally trampled even if the majority of the people wantthem to be.
Good thread.. good questions... thanks georgepoker!
