I&#8217;d like to extend my previous post on drunk driving to examine the relationship of trust between driver and passengers.
If I am a passenger in a car, and the driver knows that I don&#8217;t want him to drink, we might argue that a relationship of trust exists, and if the driver is secretly [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=randazza.wordpress.com&#38;blog=681620&#38;post=8822&#38;subd=randazza&#38;ref=&#38;feed=1" />]]></description>

I don&#8217;t much care for libel laws.
If someone seriously defames me, my classical recourse is to engage in a lengthy and expensive court battle which is a huge waste of resources. When a writer I know pursued such a battle, more than five years elapsed before he finally made it into court, and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=randazza.wordpress.com&#38;blog=681620&#38;post=8881&#38;subd=randazza&#38;ref=&#38;feed=1" />]]></description>

I wonder if anyone else agrees that drunk driving is a victimless crime. A conviction merely affirms that a person was more likely than average to hit someone or something. Well, all kinds of people are more likely to do that, such as the elderly, or people who simply don&#8217;t have an aptitude [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=randazza.wordpress.com&#38;blog=681620&#38;post=8801&#38;subd=randazza&#38;ref=&#38;feed=1" />]]></description>

Since &#8220;protecting our children&#8221; became a reliable mantra for DAs seeking re-election at some time during the Reagan administration, the horrors of statutory rape and child pornography have justified countless legislative excesses. Unfortunately such laws conflict with the inconvenient biological fact that most young people become capable of reproducing around the ages of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=randazza.wordpress.com&#38;blog=681620&#38;post=8768&#38;subd=randazza&#38;ref=&#38;feed=1" />]]></description>

I have no formal legal training, but emigrated from the UK to the US partly because I liked the First Amendment. The wisdom of my decision was affirmed when an erotic novel that I had written in 1969 was seized, in Britain, by the Director of Public Prosecutions, and the publisher was jailed [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=randazza.wordpress.com&#38;blog=681620&#38;post=8741&#38;subd=randazza&#38;ref=&#38;feed=1" />]]></description>
