There's a difference between complaining about a result and trying to rig an outcome. Bubba tried to put the fix in and he got caught. JLA

Neocon- Faulty Analogy- There is no parallel between "your daughter's softball game" and laws set down by the state. In the softball game, all participants agree to abide by the ump's decision as part of the groundrules for their play. There is no coercion. The state, on the other hand, coerces people into obeying laws passed by the representatives of a stupid electorate that thinks that Sleazebag Bill is A-OK. The state is frequently the aggressor- witness the Microsoft anti-trust case. All parties did not agree to abide by Joel Klein's vision of how competition ought to work. In a free society nobody- including government- would have the right to initiate the use of force or fraud. Gladhanding politicians like Bill Clinton and his hoards of idiotic admirers arrogate to themselves the authority to initiate coercion. It is precisely because the modern leviathan state is such a coercive instrument that its powers need to be circumscribed. Larry
