This makes me ill.
RW, just read your profile. "It makes me ill" is something I've been saying continually for 35 years. I actually feel sorry for you: my generation will die off (it's hardest on us, really, because we were really born free--or at least much freer). Your generation, for the most part, is too self-absorbed and poorly educated to even know what they are missing.
But, now, people like you and my son, who really have been taught what losing freedom means and who will live long enough to see overt tyranny emerge--well, as I say, I feel sorry for you. It's gonna' get rough, friend.
