This is where you get into a gray area of intrusion into a person’s rights.

YEAH, you and I know this dude is mental, and needs some help…..but who are you and I?

I mean, I’m all for a law that says if 2 or more people think you’re doing something stupid, one of you get to slap him till he stops. Or if 2 or more people think you deserve to have your license revoked because you drive like an asshole, then BAM it happens.
But who are the 2 or more? Avatard and Paul? God help the republicans in the world! What if it were 101 and BabyG?
This is why the system sucks, but it’s better than nothing. It at least protects the people who AREN’T going to snap and kill ½ dozen people from the know-it-all’s of the world that think THEY know what’s best for everyone.
I mean really….would you like to see Sarah Palin with ultimate control like that?

However in this instance...it failed
