Let's just trot down the path of the U.S. model and start chiselling down the rights of private citizens. Maybe we should have a torture bill of our own because, after all, we have the safety of the public to think about and we can do no wrong if our intentions are right. Right? If we really want to do something drastic to promote public safety in transportation, maybe we should strip car manufacturers of the right to advertise their latest model tearing down a city street at breakneck speed. That's where people are being killed. Tony Flello, Texada Island - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
