[edit on 3-5-2007 by RWPBR]


personally, i was speaking out, writing letters to members of congress and getting all my "gun toting whackjob" buddies to do the same.

some people have "trigger issues" with politicians by which they will vote for them or not, gun control is mine and when i was a resident of south dakota i voted against daschle becuase his staffers that called us to poll the electorate told me flat out he'd vote to renew the ban. vote gone.

i could ahve cared less he was the minority leader and that for a small state like SD to have that clout was huge. he wanted to limit my gun rights to pfft gone.

however. i think rock may have missed some of the points i was trying to make.

my point in this post was that i dont feel the govt will envoke a "police state" in the sense of say, north korea or china because i think that the economy will fail totally as all us money motivated worker bees will suddenly not care. if we're not making the money we are now, we wont be buying all these big luxery items that seem to drive our economy, the economy that the govt taxes the hell out of will fail as we wont be spending as much or working as hard to produce waht we do and they'll lose out on their taxes there as well.

just my opinion on that.

however i do feel we need to be vigilant because there DOES seem to be a renewed push to limit our rights as much as they can, our 2nd amendment rights to be specific.

and without the 2nd amendment i still feel the bill of rights is nothing but toilet paper.

just my .02

Good thread!

I just had to chime in, about the 'evolution' of police authority.
In the late 70's, as I started to (legally) drive, and subsequently get
pulled over for road-shenannigans, the cops were known, familiar guys
from the neighborhood, with personalities. And no more equipped than
us. But friendly and caring.

Now they're armored robots with machine guns & tasers & 12 ga. bean
bags, ready to use force at the twitch of an eye! Especially on types like
me, who are known to question au6th6or6ity quite aggressively!

The police state has crept in all around lately, in my opinion!

So I am very encouraged by people here at Above Top Secret, who seem
to question au6th6or6ity; especially those who "know how to do things to
make tanks and armored personnel carriers less effective!"

Rock on, Damacles!
