Machan, professor of philosophy at Auburn University, in "TheWelfare State and the News, as reported in the December, 1996, issue of the"Freeman" magazine:<BR>Except for the editors of the few papers and magazines that championliberty, none of those in charge will encourage truly critical scrutiny ofmainstream political affairs. None will raise such questions as "Why shouldgovernment deprive the successful of the fruits of their success, or even thefortunate of their good fortune, just because others do not enjoy the same?"<P>Or who among those who feed off the welfare state so successfully would everraise the question: "Mr. President, if we spend borrowed money our childrenwill have to be taxed to repay, does this not violate the principle 'Notaxation without representation'?"<P>Would any such journalist raise the question to some politician or bureaucrat:"If in the criminal law it is wrong to punish people unless they have beenproven guitly of a crime, why is it right that government regulations mayimpose enormous economic burdens on people who have done nothing wrong?Isn't this a kind of prior restraint that has no place in a free society?"<P>What about the question: "If the 14th Amendment prohibits the unequalapplication of the law, why are producers prohibited from discriminating,while consumers can do so with total impunity? And why can governmentregulate every profession but the press, arts, and clergy--is this not abuilt-in inequality, a state-sponsored discrimination?"<HR>Leonard E.

The real Bill of Rights.The 200-year-old "paper", signed by John Adams and Frederick Muhlenberg. Thedocument from which were ratified the first ten amendments to the United StateConstitution, and in particular, the second amendment protecting the right tokeep and bear arms.<P>I have reproduced below various text bodies leading up to the second amendment,all taken from facsimiles of documents leading up to the Bill of Rights. Textwithin bracket ("[]") characters is mine, identifying the following verbatimtext; text within double brackets ("[[]]") is explanatory comment.<P>Obviously, I cannot produce a facsimile of the original documents here, the bestI can do is to provide an ASCII representation of the body of text. I havepreserved the actual grammar, spelling, punctuation, and line breaks as nearlyas possible within the constraints of 80-column ASCII terminals.<P>I have tried very hard to not make any transcription error, proofing the copyseveral times on different days.

Articles 3 through 12 received the approval of the necessary11th state when Virginia ratified them on December 15, 1791.Accordingly, articles 3 through 12 became the first 10 amendmentsto the Constitution.
