Thanks Jerry;

   I knew I was off there somewhere,  point remains the same... read the
constitution, it says, repeatedly,  "the right of the people shall not
be infringed."  It started out as an instrument to keep government off
of the people's backs.  Has ended up a "granting of rights" by people
who are employees, not kings.

In Georgia they also teach it extensively.  However, in questioning high
school graduates, none of those questioned actually ever read the actual
document.  So, they were being taught someone's version of it, instead
of reading the document their selves and coming to their own
conclusions.

We home school<G>.  I hear the torch being lit, asbestos underwear is
near.
