Asking a question generates an immediate attempt by you to insult me? Where did that come from? I didn't attack you, we never exchanged posts but you jump in with a snarky insult.
I watch my city's budgets to keep an eye on government. I would think FReepers would be doing the same, you know, don't trust government, watch them closely. Surely you do this as well. It's the American thing to do but you insult me for watching my city's budget and commenting I find no budget entry for tickets for the PD? This makes your attempted insult to be astonishingly out of place, adds nothing and makes no sense.
With no posting between you and me, you immediately go for the juvenile insults as your first post to me because I asked a question?
You have a choice:
a) give in to your compelling childish need to have the last word and rant back with another insult or. . .
b) let it go, be a man, recognize you attacked for no cause and proved you have a level of hatred/anger that is by adult measure, irrational.
I'm betting your childish immaturity and irrational anger wins. Prove me wrong. I dare you.
In your study of local budgets you must have missed the obvious police state that is around us now. 200-500 fines with jail if unpaid is the new debt prisons. Cameras that send tickets, fandom stop and searches directly against our founding principles. We are trading security for freedom. Pew will get neither. If you are being genuine then forgive me. The big government, crony capitalist, super government is at the door. The police are but pawns but they are on the board moving against freedom and liberty. Please dear god open the peoples eyes before this country fades and with it the age of science, freedom and enlightenment.
Some people think they will prosper, some like the order, some just don’t want to make decisions. None will get what they expect. The police power abuse is just the tip of the spear. Conditioning.
