What in the hell does that have to do with this woman doing coke while preg? No, not the legislation, the people. The ones who either can't see the rapid creep of govt authority into our lives in increasing ways ...or the ones who believe that "I'm from the govt and I'm here to help you" is a true statement. jen That's been happening for at least a couple decades...where've you been? Sigh. See what I mean? Seriously, don't you feel the difference? It's like having a next door neighbor who is a nosey busybody for a couple of decades then having a group of Aryan Nation members move in. The first one annoyed me frequently. The latter scares me. jen----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Everon 0 #52 August 22, 2005 At first I did not understand what you meant by "the era of the 'patriot.'" Now that you have clarified yourself, I can honestly say I couldn't agree with you more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's like having a next door neighbor who is a nosey busybody for a couple of decades then having a group of Aryan Nation members move in. The first one annoyed me frequently. The latter scares me. jen This is exactly what I was thinking about this morning on the drive to work. There was a story on some news show yesterday about a father being arrested for allowing teenagers to drink at a party at his house. He had allowed the kids to have the party there on the condition that none of them would leave (i.e. drive). Things we use to just shake our heads about, now we're criminalizing. Heck, we're ALL gonna be criminals at this rate. It frightens me too.... The "Land of the Free" is becoming, more and more, quite a misnomer....
