Another .02 worth.

I get real nervis when I hear about "The People" being more important than any individual. Isn't that the phrase the Nazis used. Something like, "We need to protect you from the Jew."

You just can't pass laws and protect everyone from everything. (In the UK they used to hang people for stealing bread.) Some where down the line, folks have to look out for themselves. People must take responsibilty for their own actions. If you are under age, then your parents are responsable.

I ride a motorcycle. If I choose not to wear a helmet, I may injure myself more if I have an accident. My problem, my responsibilty. Should I expect scocity to take care of me, yes, in the emergcy room if needed. You might say, well that's self infliceted, so we are not going to pay for that. OK, how about shin splints on joggers?

The media. Egad, how I hate them. When they had the Rodny King riots a few years ago, down in La la land. The local news people were almost in tears that they couldn't report on a riot too. I saw this "newsi" talking to a black guy, and saying something like this. "Hey, they are rioting down in La, Why aren't you rioting too?" I thought that the news guy was going to give the black guy a brick to throw. Fortunitly the black guy was smart enough to figgure out what this clown was doing to him. He just laughed and walked away.

Don't EVER underestamate the power of the media. They live for only two things. Misory and sensiationalizm (sp?). They also have no responsobilty to anyone but them selves. We don't let any other goups get away with that. (Cops, firemen, school bus drivers) You can't even get a finiacial disclosure from a news person. So who's paying them on the side?

Too much for a cloudy Thursday.
