The nature of our creation is the yearning for unbridled freedom. We discuss laws to properly limit our yearning for freedom and where to properly place those limits, but the proper placement of these limits has just been overstepped by a huge margin by a bunch of men and women for the sole purpose of protecting their own electability.<\/line><\/p>\n
