"Pleading the 5th" refers, of course, to the Fifth Amendment to our Constitution (in our Bill of Rights). We were given the right against self-incrimination with that one. The Second Amendment (also in the Bill of Rights) gave us the right to bear arms. Just think about how there are eight more amendments in the Bill of rights alone, never mind all the amendments passed after the Bill of Rights! We Americans can, now, do all sorts of interesting things besides forget and shoot each each other. Why, women can even vote at the drop of a hat!

Hi Deb,
Yes I understand what pleading the 5th means. I was "paying out" DF as we say here in Australia....
