49. OK I will play your game

Feb 2013

I fear drunk or distracted drivers, , I fear heights, I fear unicorns, I fear thermonuclear weapons. I do not let that fear control my life. I however do not fear the government. I do not care for the fact that they have extended the PATRIOT act and can relentless wiretap. This really does not bother me too much as after 30 years in government service they have all of my information anyway.

Thank you very much for showing such concern for me, I hope you have a good day also.

Why Duckhunter935 Feb 2013 #34
