the gubbamint's loaded down with stupid ass rules to satisfy one special group or another

it's a shame not enough people give a rat's ass about the next person and their troubles to demand a change. This sort of subjectivity in the law exists everywhere. It's the piecemeal destruction of our liberties, applauded by one special interest group or another. A bunch of damn school marms got this crap passed a long time ago. Others get other freedoms removed, you got your anti-fat folk who are moving toward taking out fast food, you got your anti-SUV folk who are pussifying vehicles in the name of a bogus threat, you got the tax the hell out of the tobacco users bunch who want smokers to pay for everything they are too lazy to work for themselves before hard working smokers kick the bucket and with each and everyone of these damn groups and their damn laws, they pick off just enough of you to say "that's a good idea." 120 years later and where are we, we sure as hell ain't free.
