I am prepared to support my opinions with vettable, verifiable, and reliable statistics...are you?

If not, it probably isn't a good idea to foment more distrust and wrong notions of what the 'government' is 'actually' doing with tax dollars and money from hunting and fishing licenses.

I hardly think the United States is intent on making its citizens slaves. (Do you not have a basic grasp of history?) And, if it did (!), it could not achieve its purpose on the money raised (although the sum is substantial) from hunters and anglers having purchased licenses. That notion is completely out of proportion with reality.

The man, Tertelgte, is clearly highly unstable, as well. He didn't have any respect for the simple rules of the courtroom: No Outbursts. And then, his outburst made NO sense! I'm sorry to have to point that very obvious fact out to both of you.

He is a crackpot---and he just wanted a soapbox from which to broadcast his fashionable feelings of entitlement.

I say the whole thing is a tempest in a teapot. It is HARDLY a case that will decide anything of any note, especially regarding changes in attitudes about what being a law abiding and thoughtful (educated, not just opinionated) citizen actually means...and what it does not.

Everyone has the right to question the legimacy of being arrested, if the case brought against you is without merit. In this instance, I'm afraid the man has simply made a fool out of himself, and will no doubt do so again in January.
