I have said the same thing many times. You're a smart mofo bro.
Honestly though, i think we -are- better off than modern day Brits are. Not saying much, sure..but at least it's something.

Jim, I don't think there are any police anymore. They all want to be paramilitary thugs. I say that with complete respect to real policemen, they are a dying breed. My Father was a policeman for 20 years, and retired . He taught me that 99.9% of the time any situation can be settled by just listening to people, treating them like a person, and to NEVER assume everyone is a guilty idiot. He only had to draw his gun once, and never fired it. In our little town of 10,000 it takes 3 squad cars to do a traffic stop now, and they all have their fingers on the trigger!
Jeff, you make entirely too much sense. Keep up the good work.

Yes, that's a terrifying mentality. And highly prevalent.
Nothing in life is as scary to me as our own government. Now the feds will be DNA swabbing anyone who is arrested for any reason.
Not convicted...arrested.
