The Founders Left Out a Right

You're asking what right so important at this time, that wasn't important back then? It's the right to be free from everyone else. Otherwise, do what you want, but don't disturb my world with your grandiose delusions that change nothing, or only make your over-sized ego larger.

You want more taxes? Fine, but you get what I give you only. If I decide not to, then guess what? Yeah, you you understand. You're power to be obnoxious and overbearing disappears quickly when you're scrambling for the money most people won't give you.

I'm thinking the thought of leaving people alone was so ingrained, nobody could imagine a society where constant meddling was accepted. Times have changed, and I think there would be eleven amendments in the Bill of Rights if the founders could have seen the future. Liberty meant more than just the first word in the name of a life insurance company.

Wisdom for Today

Few people are patriots if being one jeopardizes a check from the government.

Economy is Shrinking

If I spend too much money, spending more doesn't make up the shortfall and revitalize my bank account. That's the real world.

In the fantasy world of Washington D.C., where the average annual income is substantially more than in the real world, they believe spending more money is the answer for the deficit and shrinking economy.

I don't know what recreational drugs they're taking up there, but they're powerful hallucinogens and everybody seems to be affected. Maybe it's in the water, or maybe they really don't care and the peons be damned. . 

When It Comes To Protection...

...progressives, socialists - whatever you call them this week - can't protect themselves, so they want the government to do the job, but they can't protect themselves from the government, or anything else that requires their protection..How screwed up can you be and still manage to exist?

So Why and Why Weren't The Citizens Notified

The Army decided to take part, or orchestrate an urban exercise in Houston, but failed to notify the citizens of their intentions. To make matters worse, nobody is fessing up to their mistake and facing the consequences.

This is unacceptable. An apology is in order from all concerned and those responsible need to be removed from their position. You don't use your office to terrorize citizens and you don't ignore the fact that all citizens are sovereign and deserve their privacy.
