>>The FReeper wasn’t mad at me, but mad at the situation.
Right. The “high roaders” get mad at the situation, but they don’t want to get nasty with those who created the situation or are creating it right NOW for YOU.
The guy who posts the “How can a handgun stop an army” thread again and again makes a great point about making the petty bureaucrats and apparatchiks fear doing their job. But that simple truth also applies to just making their jobs unpleasant until they don’t want to do them anymore. The “high roaders” say that these are just people doing a job so why take it out on them.
Well, you take it out on them because they are the ones with their hands on your crotch! Thank globally. Act locally! When the TSA guy is kneeling down to fondle you, fart. It is a natural bodily function. You are under no legal obligation to hold it in.
I see; I don’t believe “just doing your job” is any more of a defense today than it was in Nuremberg. Here in NJ our public employees are in open warfare with the taxpayers, and their sense of entitlement to our wages for their ridiculous salaries, benefits, and retirement packages is enraging. I have voted against every school budget and tax increase when offered the chance because I know spending more isn’t making the schools/town any better, cleaner, etc.
They have become an incestuous caste apart (the only upper middle class in many areas here as their costs have driven many employers away - and they take their jobs with them); many teachers marry other teachers or cops (cops call them “holster-sniffers”), and government workers tend to have more children than others because they alone have solid job security for life after a couple of years on the job. You can’t even speak to them because they are so out of touch; contributing a small amount towards their health insurance while most of us already pay a lot more than that (and pay for the balance of theirs on top of that) drives them into a frenzy.
