John,
By the same token, there are already so many laws that the gov't can't enforce them all. This provides a level of personal freedom that I would expect you'd embrace. We all may break laws at some point (whether intentionally or unintentionally). Most violators are not prosecuted unless they go out of their way to draw the attention of the authorities, or, as in Martha Stewart's case, they are a prominent individual to begin with. Most of us can fly under the radar. Prominent individuals (including corporate executives) need to realize that they have to operate with more care than the average person because their violations are more likely to be noticed and prosecuted. That seems eminently fair to me. Those who reap disproportionate benfits from their positions in society should expect disproportionate responsibility.
Let the liberal bashing begin.
