> We can also give Georgia the benefit of the doubt

Something I might be inclined to do if they fixed the problem after becoming aware of it.

Did Georgia arrange a deal whereby its citizens can read the law of their land for free?

Did they declare the annotations were no longer considered part of the law?

Or did they spend tax-payer money on prosecuting somebody for having the temerity to make copies of the law?

I think it is not at all reasonable to give Georgia the benefit of the doubt.

They have not. But any attempt to make them see the light will fall on deaf ears and make them dig in their heels when it uses rhetoric.

My main quip here comes from my strong belief that much of our political climate comes from incendiary remarks (e.g., "protection racket"). And this is counter productive. Even if you are right it is still counter productive.

You catch more flies with carefully crafted honey.
