Re: America the Police State
You want an old law? Brazilian Comercial Code of Laws: Published in 1850 and still in use (with some modifications)... it´s funny to read it, it was created when Brazil was still a Monarchy and is full of strange lingustical expressions, and it even have a chapter (now invalidated) that regulates the comerce of slaves...

Dunno. Do you have one of those federally approved and mandated trash bags in your car that they stopped making a few dacades ago?

You know that I once got a ticket for this. I told my Grandfather about it and he called his friend, Bill. Bill was a lawyer at the time, nearing retirement. We disputed the ticket and it was thrown out.
That was in 1988.
I now keep a trash bag in the car at all times. STUPID LAWS are on the books so STUPID COPS / PROSECUTING ATTORNEYS can make your life hell and steal your money and your freedoms.

Re: America the Police State
Ah, but do you have the specific, mandated variety? If not, theoretically you can still get a ticket for not having it....

Re: America the Police State
You know whats funny, the laws are seldom if ever inforced against those who wrote them. Take for instance the law that states that a senator or congressman are not to be paid for days the do not work. Senator Kerry tops the list for days missed with pay. He was paid over 600k that he was not entitled too. Yet do you think he, or all the others, will give the money back? Hell I was once hounded by the IRS for owning them $14.50 one year. The fines and fees brought that amount to nearly $120.00 a year later when they kept most of my return to pay it. Yet senators and congressmen can keep several hundred thousand dollars of our money without question even though there is a law against that?
It is extremly frustrating to know that the rich keep getting richer while the poor are made to pay more and more.
In France they knew how to deal with injustices like this. They simply did the unthinkable and beheaded everyone.

Careful! If the wrong person reads that, you could be labeled with the T word!

ROTFLMAO If the peeps at Homeland Insecurity ever run this forum past their filters, they will think they have cracked a huge cell of anarchists.

Re: America the Police State
Well, the T hunt is slightly improved over the pervious C and W hunts. A few actual T's at least caused serious, local trouble before the hunt started. Not that it's much of an improvement, for practical purposes.

Re: America the Police State
Heh, america is only describable as the land of ehm, well, overreacting...
versus anything.
it's like a woman, with moodswings and sudden outbursts of anger you dont have any idea where they came from. and irrational fears and reactions upon them.
I think the woman analogy (albeit stereotypical-woman analogy) is the best fitting I found so far.
