Apparently it should have been mostly serious and slighty joking. Really does remind me while the Colonies couldn't stand to remain that way. I'm appalled!

LOL Drav..... tell you what, I'll see your rights-trampling Double Jeopardy in the UK and raise you a Patriot Act in the US.
I don't think anyone is perfect on that score.
On an amusing sidenote, a geezer here is challenging Parking Fines with the 1689 Bill of Rights.
