Wait ... hold it ... I seem to remember that you are the same Roger Long
who wants "licenses" for operating a boat.

First the government finds out who you are, then they require a license,
then they tax you off the earth ... but .. it is for the "children".

A large part of the problem rests with a populace that is cultured to
avoid thinking at all times. Why think when you've got cheap beer, NASCAR
and "Fox News"? (sic). It's easier to manipulate the prejudices, biases
and fears of stupid people. It's easy to get them to believe whatever
horse**** the fuhrer wants to substitute for the truth. A scary part for
non-Americans is the degree to which even seemingly smart people in the US
completely swallow, then regurgitate the pap that passes for "truth" in
the former "land of the free". The real question is whether there are
enough "smart" Americans to stop what from the outside looks like a
dangerous slide into facism.
