[QUOTE="Ex-Liberal, post: 673162, member: 19904"]Like back in the days when people could leave their doors unlocked--when "community" was substantive and not a "progressive" buzzword? A private heads-up to a neighbor hardly equates to the Stasi. ;) Don't get me wrong, I see what you're saying. But I don't see some gigantic slippery philosophical slope here. If the dealer in her experience senses something that might be untoward, she can make a good-faith effort at a follow-up. Or not. If the chances of juvenile hijinx are 10% and cell phones ubiquitous, the probability of actually using a caller ID callback to "unravel a plot" fall to what, 1,000 to 1-ish? :D Mostly it would salve the dealer's conscience. But aren't inconsequential moral dilemmas the most fun? Ditto. BTW, I also put one chocolate-covered Saint Gaudens down on the Sacajawea theory, which one can always take to the bank and trade in for a [I]real[/I] dollar. . .to paraphrase Marge Simpson![/QUOTE]
