jon,
I'm sorry to say that the viewpoints and attitudes of the sort found
at your website are really the cause of most of the confusion and lack of self control
exhibited by many in our nation today. I remember being in class when I was young
and when the teacher said to "settledownnow!" you "settleddownnow"
because it wasn't very pleasant if you didn't I also remember that in most towns
and cities I've lived in across the southwest, you were stopped and questioned if
you were "making the drag" after a certain hour. You also got tickets for
things unheard of today such as improper lane change, lights of bright with on-coming
traffic and loud stereos etc etc. today the cops get shot for daring to stop someone
who is obliviously drunk or otherwise endangering our families and loved ones. They
also continue to have more rights than the law abiding amoung us. You could'nt get
me to be a cop today for all the tea in china. jon, most of the time I have found
that people who have a beef with police officers, usually have been their guests
at one time or another and usually the cause is violating someone elses constitutional
rights. Bottom line is this, I used to leave my door unlocked at night and now I
don't --Now you tell me who is in prisondom, me or the convict!
WHEN YOU COME TO ME WITH A PROBLEM FOR WHICH YOU HAVE NO GOOD SOLUTION---THEN YOU HAVE BECOME A PART OF THAT PROBLEM ... CASE CLOSED

LBK,
Thanks for taking a look and sending a letter. I always enjoy different
view points but I don't think ours are as different as you may think... However all
these viewpoints attitudes and opinions offered here are those of real Americans.
I guess your position is that all us Americans represented here are not entitled
to be free thinking? I suspect you are a little too brain washed to realize what
you are saying. Perhaps you would be happier in China, Iran or Iraq? All the news
items here are real from real news reports, newspapers and television... Did you
read anything anything at all that wasn't the truth? I did not make these events
up. At least 75% of the postings available here are also some place on the web as
well... Is your position that we should ignore what is really going on in our country
and and listen to the politicians who tells us everything is just fine? (because
their pockets are full of crooked money) Lock up anyone who disagrees with your own
personal view of the world?
My site has only existed for 8 months so I personally didn't create the confusion
that we live in. I personally have self control I have not been involved with a violent
confrontation in over twenty years, I do not rob beat or murder people, I don't do
hard drugs, but I do work hard. The truth being I am only a few years younger than
you. I just missed Vietnam, and I can't say I'm sorry as I could never ever shoot
at or kill someone based on their form of government, religion, race or country of
origin. If I am to be violent it would be in self-defense only. When I was a teenager
I got into fights a lot of them, but I never never Hit someone first.
Letters
like yours remind me that we all don't live in the same America. Where I lived for
the past eight years we have the highest percapital of police to citizens in the
whole country!! It's not a big city it is State College Pa. You see State College
like the Federal government is thriving on revenue enhancement. Here they never solve
a murder or bank robbery, seldom solve any reported crime. Many times they just take
you statement over the phone and tell you if you find out who did it give them a
call back...
Here if you get pulled over by the police you are suddenly surrounded
by three cars and six cops. they give you as many tickets as possible, your back
window is too dirty, your rust spot is too big... everybody out of the car I am searching
you for drugs and weapons. They hand out tickets by the hundreds for jay walking
illegal parking, loitering and the such.
You say: I have found that people who have a beef with police officers, usually
have been their guests at one time or another and usually the cause is violating
someone elses constitutional rights. I reply What about these folks.
Statisically speaking most Americans are arrested at one point or another in their
life... But you are right I have been arrested harrassed searched but never convicted
of anything. Here you can be fined for parking on your own lawn, for not mowing your
lawn, for having dandelions, for not shoveling your snow and even for your dog barking.
Every party that happens in this town is busted for noise ordinance and while they
are there for the noise they search the place demand ID from everybody and hand out
hundreds of dollars worth of tickets. Yet they don't solve any real crimes. Bikes
are stolen by the dozens burglary is the norm, car stereos and cars just disappear,
all unsolved, unless some one tips them or they catch them in the act...
Meanwhile
two hours away in Philly and all over the country, cops
are arresting cops and judges and other officials as fast as criminals, planting
drugs, pay backs, beatings, robbery, rape. Not people but cops are the criminals...
I like to think that the main message of my "site" is that people have
different veiwpoints, traditions, opinions and beliefs... They can not be placed
in to neat little packages by the government. The federal government operates like
State College, it is all about money...bottom line and nothing else matters to those
bozos who claim to be representing us. We need tolerance of other
peoples lifestyles not more laws to try to make us all the same.
You say : "Bottom line is this, I used to leave my door unlocked at night
and
now I don't --Now you tell me who is in prison, me or the convict! "
and
that exactly is my point! Why are the cops coming into our homes to see what we are
smoking, what we are reading, who we are sleeping with... when the guy who killed
my neighbor is driving a stolen car around looking for his next victim???
You
say;
WHEN YOU COME TO ME WITH A PROBLEM FOR WHICH YOU HAVE NO GOOD SOLUTION---THEN
YOU HAVE BECOME A PART OF THAT PROBLEM ...
I say I believe I have presented
a large amount of possible solutions Mainly
Stop locking up people who pose
no threat to society
Kick all these crooked greedy bastards running
this country out of office
Limit the scope of the federal government to it's
original intents
Peace and Freedom are they really too much to ask for?

Note: Lbk did not respond back to my retort, I guess his training (brainwashing) keep him from looking at logic and common sense...But he did say Case Closed which means I don't want to listen to or face the truth...
