You miss my point. Sure he's entitled to them. But why should he *have to have them*? They're extra state which, in the presence of a proper autoconfigurator, he doesn't need. -- <a href="http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/">Eric S. Raymond</a>
Militias, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves and include all men capable of bearing arms. [...] To preserve liberty it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them. -- Senator Richard Henry Lee, 1788, on "militia" in the 2nd Amendment - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
