Right on & well said, Davo!
I live in Nashville TN. Our state polliticians attemped to sneak in a state income tax recently in a late hour closed session. Word got out and several thousand protestors appeared on the steps of the state capital ranting, raving, blowing car horns, and chanting "NO MEANS NO." The tax didn't pass (probably because our conniving leaders feared for thier lives). And you probably didn't hear a thing about it on the National news either.
WOW, though!!! It made me proud to be an American for the first time in a long time. Not because of our conniving politicians (there's no honor in their behavior), but because of our people refusing to be pushed around like sheep.
This event should have been broadcast around the world, but it won't be. We (most of us) have turned into a nation of sacrificial sheep for the politicians in the name of the collective good.
And good sheep do what they are told.
As for me...
Live free, and ride!
