One of the "law" supporters used an oft quoted phrase - "We are a nation of laws" I wanted to slap him and say, "No, we are a nation of human beings!"

The law serves the people by providing a structure for justice in all its forms. The human beings that make up this nation have made laws to that justice can be done, innocents can be protected, and all of those humans can have a society in which they can better themselves, not so that innocent loving people can be put in jail just for the hell of it, and then branded as evil for the rest of thier lives. The people do not serve the law, the law serves the people!

I just wish that intelligence were a requirement for public office.
