Valis

CNN Moneyline Quick Poll..

Do you believe solicitors should have the right to go door-to-door for any product or cause without a permit?

At this point, 5 of 6 respondents (83%) say No! Very interesting.....

That means that 1 out of every 5 people in the US is a door-to-door salesman <G>...

I voted YES, although I am an ex-JW.

So now the JW pedophiles can come up to my door and "talk" to my kids about their "paradise"?

And that's legal? I haven't voted yet and since I appreciate my Freedom I am in doubt on what to do.

Strange days have found us........The Doors...

I voted 'NO' ... but, with reservations. Solicitors by strict definition are mostly those who are engaged in commercial enterprise ... and both congress and states and cities have the Constitutional right and power to "regulate" commerce. That is 'how' I was able to vote "No" because more door-to-door work is commercial.

However, when it comes to free speech and religious freedom, as long as the person is not engaged in a commercial aspect of this, then it should be left free and unregulated. Even a large majority can be wrong and act to harm the minority ... and that is part of the purpose of the Constitution, to protect the minoirity from the tyranny of the majority.

Notwithstanding, few religions, save Mormons and JWs, go door-to-door, and so any regulation in this regard would likely have little impact on freedom of religion or speech. An informed and educated public is the best safeguard against to brain-dead work of the JWs.
