I can't for the life on me understand how seemingly intelligent people can't get a grasp on how the system works and who the appropriate folks to talk to about laws they view as improper, unjust or unconctitutional would be. If I go to a restaraunt and scream at the waitress for the way my food was cooked most folks would look at me like an idiot realizing that the waitress didn't cook it.
Sweet analogy, let me take a crack at it.
I would be justified in screaming at the waitress if the cook handed her a bun with a piece of crap on it and she was such a spineless, just overall terrible person, that she went ahead and served it to me. I would further be justified in yelling at her when she claimed authority over me and demanded that I pay for the crap sandwich or else she will use lethal force against me. Finally, I would certainly be justified screaming at this waitress when while I was paying for the crap sandwich, the cook decided it should be illegal to purchase crap, and ordered the waitress to exercise her self-claimed authority over me and place me in confinement in the restaurant's dungeon.
Of course, you know that is far from a valid comparison, don't you. If fact, its so bad as to earn the title sophomoric. Please, go back to your rhetoric class!Well, the rebuttal to that, is that you ordered (or voted) for crap, and had a hand in choosing (electing) the cook.
(Of course, they do. They can always say no, even if they have to find new employment to do so.)

are you going to feed my family while I look for work? Make my mortgage payment? Pay my Uverse bill so I can still watch The Outdoor Channel?
No? So I should sacrifice the well being of my family and a career I've worked hard to develop because of a law that you disagree with yet you're not willing to do your part?
I noticed that too.Interesting. But mostly I'm interested in the fact that you indirectly gave "W" a kudos. I nearly fainted.

Are militias still considered crazy? I know they weren't 230 years ago.
Nah, it's an understanding of how our system of government works.
That's thing. I don't even mind the taxes...relatively, to a certain extent, for the existence of legitimate law enforcement. Just stop (not you, personally) telling me what I can and cannot do with my property, money, body, time, etc., so long as it doesn't conflict with your duty to keep the general peace. Keep your job and the outdoor channel, just don't tread on me.
When someone refuses to do the moral/ethical/Constitutional right act because he is authorized by law to do something else, and then shrugs his shoulders and tells the populace to quit complaining and take it up with the legislators, it goes beyond how the system works. Unless by "how the system works" you mean "I get to screw you over because the law lets me."Nah, it's an understanding of how our system of government works.
I have a question regarding the issue of trusting police. Given that most all of the, even the honest examples, when stopping a person will do such things as shining bright lights in mirrors and do all the fishing they can manage to do, why the Hell should I trust people who preemptively treat me like a criminal?
