> From what I can gather, the original US constitution was handwritten on 6 pages. Depending on what font is used the current document plus amendments is some 26 pages. Imagine how many handwriten pages that would be. On the Politics board you might find various arguements about whether our freedoms are either increased or diminished by the proliferation of rules in American law. I wonder if posters' rights, freedoms and protections have been enhanced in this society by the burgeoning regulations.
interesting question, toph. i'd have to say no.
