Thanks, we either seem to be too conservative or too radical that most people miss our point of view. The era when lawyers dominated the political scene in India is passe now. About 26 lawyers have officiated as Presidents of the United States. I would welcome the suggestion that lawyers should shed conservatism and actively participate in the political affairs of the day and influence right thinking.
Sometime last year, I wrote about the "meaning of life" http://mm.gnu.org.in/pipermail/fsf-friends/2005-March/003169.html Simple life on earth is quite possible without computers confounding us, but if we do have higher ambitions, then using computers becomes inevitable. If this is well understood, most constitutions would be reshaped soon, to help us realise the meaning of life at an earlier date.
