Well, there you have it, socio-economics in action. Now we are back to the original axiom that our good friend Mr. Franklin gave us.

"Those who would trade their freedom for a little security deserve neither"

I'd say we are getting just what we asked for with this kind of "law".

So not only can they force me to sell my supplies, they also get to tell me for how much, or maybe just take it and give it away and forget the compensation altogether.

Yep, sure motivates me to do my part. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
