[QUOTE=long island leprechaun;4254963]What would they do in Denmark? ;)[/QUOTE]
I don't know honestly. So save me the google-time and tell us. But note, Denmark does not operate under the U.S. Constitution, hence what may be legal there may not be legal here. Not saying it is or is't, just pointing out that fact. We're not One-World Govt. just yet.
