Jun 2014

is that I run into a$$hole cops enforcing safety laws "for my own protection".

Since, of course, after 52 years and 19 dogs, I am, of course, incapable of keeping myself safe and my dogs alive.

Again, though, the main threat to my safety seems to be the police state.

And for such a compassionate, caring person, you do say some vile things.
