Ditto.

First they came for people with red hair and green eyes and I didnt care cause I dont have those traits.

Then they came for the people with blonde hair and blue eyes and I didnt care cause I dont have those traits.

Then they came for the people with black hair and brown eyes and I didnt care cause I dont have those traits.

Then they came for the people with brown hair and hazel eyes and I care cause I have those traits.

So I look around for my fellow man for help and no one was there to help me.

It worked in WWII with the Nazis in Germany and it will work here too. All the gummit needs is for the sheeple to follow each other to the slaughter.


Just remember that sometimes "the majority" only means that all the fools are on the same side.

I understand both of your views MTC and Desposable...I get where you're coming from completely.

However, we're already being watched just about everywhere we go in public...there are cameras in just about every store that you go into...and the cameras that are on streetlights or in tollboths...are simply there to make sure you're paying your tolls and not running red lights. I don't find anything wrong with that.

I would DEFINATELY take issue with people coming into my home and monitoring my phone calls,etc. However, I can't live my life worrying about what the government will do next.

No matter what country I live in, there are always going to be things that I disagree with gov't wise. Unless I have my own private island, somebody is always going to make rules that I'm subjected to follow. It's not always fair...and it's not always right...but that's just the way it is.

If we didn't have alot of the rules we have, the country would be worse off in alot of ways I'm sure. We've got a lot of freedom here...more so than in alot of other places in the world. I mean, seriously...people risk their lives to live here. We take alot for granted b/c we're used to it....we bitch and complain about things that people in other parts of the world would think we're crazy for complaining about.

I think that we have it pretty good in general. When you see how people live in other countries (not that it doesn't happen here as well) it makes you feel pretty grateful for what you DO have. If it ever got to the point that I felt like my privacy was really being infringed upon....I'd leave.

However, you don't have free reign to do everything you want, or have all the rights you feel you're entitled to, no matter where you live. If you did....that would just be scary, wouldn't it? If we didn't have any rules...imagine the chaos that would ensue then. It would be FAR worse than how bad we THINK we have it now.

Let me say this again, baby steps. The cameras are a another way for the gummit to control our lives. Pay your tolls so that the gummit can get more big and bloated. 40 % of gummit is waste and corruption. Sorry I aint playing ball.

You know what happens when the cameras are on??? The crime continues anyway. People run red lites, shoplift and deal drugs regardless of whether the cameras are there or not.

The rules put in place are for the law abiding citizens to follow cos' the criminals dont follow rules anyway. Its already against the law to commit a crime but it keeps on happening.

Just today my lady and I are in the truck backing out of a parking space and this woman slides in behind me, I almost hit her, she leans out the window and calls me a "fuckin jagoff." My lady just gives her the what is you problem look and off we go.

So what does this woman do??? Follows us to my kids school, and when I get out of the car to go in and get my boy, this woman comes up and starts reading me the riot act.

I wont get into what I said to her but she left in a hurry.

My point is we already have chaos going on and these so-called precautionary measures the gummit takes do nothing for my safety. I can take care of myself thank you and thanks Sam Colt.

And what kind of woman approaches a guy 6 foot and 200lbs that looks like this( see avatar). If I had my boy with me and she did that I would of made good on what I said to her for fear of his well being.

Guess what the cameras at the gas station were probably on and didnt stop this shit from happening.
