Fortunately for America, neither Bentham or Burke were considered to be germane by America's Founders.
Locke would be much more relevant in this discussion, or for my personal tastes, Thomas Paine.
A people who believe their rights are gifted to them by the state have drifted off into the realm of fantasy, when they think that they are free.
A legal system, which has differing standards of applicability, based solely upon citizenry, is justice bound and gagged, awaiting its execution down on the killing floor.
An American future, in which the people did not once again assert their natural rights, and restrain our leviathan, that in the throes of our understandable thirst for vengeance after September 11, 2001, we loosed upon this Earth as rabid wolf amongst the sheep, will never again experience peace.
