And I believe it does. The only place where we're perhaps a bit apart is "militia" and I'm not sure really how either of us could know without question what they meant by that. For me, I'm just not aware of any non-military "militias of the people" and the thought of that seems to make the sheep nervous so my explanation of "because the government  has power so shall the people" tends to placate people in some cases. But you're right - the first line isn't really important. The real meat is in the second line.</p></blockquote><p></p>
