We are too and the "utilitarian" view of our "sanitized" life will be punished by the people at the next elections...if the judges haven't removed them in the meantime and done away with the need ever to ask permission of the people.

What bookstore is this? If I lived closer I would donate books! Reminds me of a book I read about a volunteer program in a solitary confinement part of a prison called Shakespeare Saved My Life...
