Somethin' To Think About...

There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.

Addendum to "C'mon People!"

Just for the record I am not an anti-government type, conspiracy-theorist, "shhh...Big Brother is watching" type paranoid knucklehead.  I am simply someone who watches the news (from many sources albeit...not just FOX), listens to the political small talk of my fellow average Joes, and makes it a point to be an observer and not a hyper-opinionated 2-cent spewing jackass.  Obviously I have my own opinions on things and some strong ones at that, but I dare claim to be a political know-it-all or a wannabe government analyst with a narrow-minded partisan chip on my shoulder.  What I DO know is that when there is an inordinate amount of "scandalous" activity going on within the governing body of this country--one I might add that my hard-earned tax dollars just so happen to "subsidize"--I am going to be paying attention to it.  I am going to keep my eyes, ears, and conscience open to government activities that I believe would quite easily get the average person subpoenaed, tried, convicted, fined, imprisoned, and effectively "socially tarnished" for life.  I may be a lot of things, and there's a lot of things I am not, but I certainly do not believe in standing by while the law-making entities of this STILL great county are allowed to exist above the law.
