67. your flippant reference to the sexual abuse of children

Mon Jan 13, 2014, 01:53 PM

Jan 2014

is just wrong

but it reminds me of something i was taught growing up.....that when 'THEY' come to take your rights away,'THEY' will use the most outrageous evil example they can find (and of course every1 will agree those people must be punished)...then it is established and every1's rights are gone

drunk driving and roadblocks would be a good example of that happening in our past

i admit i like the idea of prosecuting bush,cheney for their war crimes and seizing their property or goldman sachs but we both know they will never be targeted
