Could not disagree more.

There is no control of the government...that's the problem, and I don't understand why people can't see that.

Seat belts are a perfect example. When those laws were instituted they said a seat belt infraction was not intended to be a stand alone offense, you'd only get a ticket if you were pulled over for something else. Now you can indeed get pulled over for just a seat belt, and there are government sponsored click it or ticket billboards.

Not saying seat belts are not right, just demonstrating what the government says, and what they eventually do are very different things. There's a reason the term 'slippery slope' exists.

Amen.

Look at forfeiture laws. Probably enacted with good intentions. Now they're just a money grab and the laws allow private property to be snatched away for stupid, minor offenses.

Imminent domain laws have been co-opted the same way. The list of laws that are in are in complete opposition of the intent of the constitution is long..and growing. Long as people are willing to sacrifice their freedom for 'the common good' it will continue to do so.

That said, life is still pretty good here in Bidenzuela.
