continually encroach upon our
God-given rights.
The Declaration of Inde
pendence tours a system of con
flict re olution (law and order)
which is grounded in the prin
ciple that codes of behavior
(laws) mu t have univer al ap
peal and moral authority. Im
plicit is the reasonable idea that
those making and upholding
laws cannot be above the law.
Nevertheles , the Con titution
and Bill of Rights pay lip ervice
to justice for all while consis
tently offering legal interpreta
tions that guarantee the
supremacy of the fickle opinion
of a powerful few in the search
for right and wrong ..
FREEDOM OF th \fSh d

change of ideas and opinions
aren't re erved for the m jority
in democracy. While the

resi t other who act a judge
and jury of our be t interest,
reducing our live and activitie
to empty vehicle that con tant

nowhere fa 1.
Much a the Engler ad-

with sacrificing the poor and
powerle lo the greed and un
fair advantage of other, o, too,
does late law have no intention
of doing the right thing in
Carter' ca e without pressure
from concerned, caring citizens.
Carter will not be the only
who benefit from our deter

pirit of our community, and the
