Ah. I understand completely. Sadly, even a simple textbook walkthrough
would result in an investigation, and we all know you don't get hardware
back after that!
ObLudicrious: At $MILITARY_INSTALLATION, they are checking all photo-id at
the gates. My father's reflection on that: "You can give us security
clearances but don't trust us."
This all seems like a return the the attitude of the 50s with the
`stick-to-it-ive-ness' of the 90s.
Homeland Security Agency: Can you say Schluffstaffen(1)?
(1) That's SS to most Americans. The Germans are more familiar with it
than we are. Interestingly, our first gun laws were patterned after
those written when Hitler first took power and took away the guns.
Some senator once said: "I love my country, but I fear my government."
Some other famous somebody once said: "The price for liberty is eternal
vigilence."
It's all ass-backwards. In the first days, the States had priority over
the USA. Now the USA has priority over the States. We've degenerated.
Who wants to start a new country? :)
