"Have law enforcement officers taken the Rights of American citizens away and into their own hands as this story from California demonstrates? This heavily censored story illustrates the growing epidemic of police brutality sweeping the country in this now too obvious ‘police state’ gone mad. What if anything at all will put a stop to this insanity? The 2nd Amendment is the only thing still propping up the 1st Amendment; the 1st Amendment almost dead as the ‘empire’ goes after the truth seekers. According to this linked story from Salon, Living in America will drive you insane — literally! Orwell warned us of this day."
With critical, polished and objective writing like that, I'm shocked that those corporate news assholes haven't picked this up either!

You guys are joking, right?
 If a stranger on the street tells you that (1) he is the Christ child reincarnate, (2) his DNA is actually alien DNA, (3) his semen is actually a highly sought after petroleum by-product, and (4) Obama's a Muslim, what would make you think ANY of what he told you was credible?
Sheesh...the screening process has gone out the window.

            I just think that is a dumb cop who failed to do her job correctly. But that was California, right? That state has issues.~Carter~
You can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh
or you can come to terms and realize
you're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
makes much more sense to live in the present tense - Present Tense0 -

It's true, we do. But I'm sure we're not alone. Besides, we have Yosemite.
Seriously though, to say that we live in a police state is a bit over-simplified. To say we are screwed up in many ways is a little closer to reality and most people agree to that but we also like to have our scape goats.

"The world is fucked up. Blame it on the panhandlers."

"The world is fucked up. Blame it on the loggers."
"The world is fucked up. Blame it on the Obama."
"The world is fucked up. Blame it on the Bush."

Keep blaming others and then we never have to look in the mirror and see how WE could change. It's always someone else's fault!Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...
