Sometimes I feel like a naive American who still believes that we we should not have to ask permission to breathe. Fact is, I get so damn fired up about all this stuff... I didn't mean to sound like such as smart ass Tod... I just feel like we all are standing around watching America be taken away from us one small piece at a time...
My reaction to some of this nonsense is naturally resist standardizing everything, resist all things that might look socialized, make noise when stupid bills are being introduced, etc... no government official is going to lay a hand on my kid without my full consent. period. end of story.
If we go to sleep- they are awake. If we look they other way, they are on our blindside. If we approve, they take more. If we let go, they hang on.
A man in Oregon shot a robber in a coffee stand. He killed the guy.. it happened about 2 weeks ago. The robber was armed, had a record, warrant for his arrest I think... bad guy. Should the coffee shop employee be punished??? Hell no. Will he??? Maybe... it is still being discussed on the news. This is what I mean folks- that scenario should have been an "open & shut" case. There are so many reasons now to protect the criminal. So many things about the victim are scrutinized now... when he had every right to protect his life. Common sense.... ITS GONE.
My point: Our rights are not what they should be. If we don't kick & scream every time something stupid is imposed on us, we will not have any more rights. Thomas Jefferson has already warned us about our demise if we do not protect them. JMO.
