There are always some who will not accept that belief, and they exist on both sides. the antiwar protesters attacking the ROTC on college campus is the blood brother of the klansman attacking a voting rights rally

With the exception of a few, on both sides of the isle, I really believe that most people here are on the same page. The rights of the American people have been chipped away for decades, and there is NO stop in sight.

It is like a ant eating a elephant. The elephant knows something is happening but doesn't worry about the first bite, or second, or third. Eventually there is no elephant, or Freedon, left.

I probably wont live long enough to see the end of our freedoms, and you may not either. However I DO feel it is the responsibility of those Americans here NOW to try to reverse the trend.

I live in a very upscale community. There are cameras on almost every traffic light in the city, or 60,000. They were put there for "traffic control." How much traffic do you think 60,000 people could create if they ALL drove around in circles? Not much.

The police here now can also tell, when you get pulled over, if you have a CCW permit BEFORE they approach your car. CCW's are tied in to the BMV computer.

Do you know of any older people, 70's, or 80's that say they they wish they were born today? I don't, and have been making it a point to ask them about how free they were 50, 60, 70 years ago.

I honestly don't know what the solution is, but like the AA people say "recognizing the problem is the first step."
