Is some cop who's shot on duty -- who gets PAID to take the KNOWN risks associated with THAT duty -- any more special than WE THE PEOPLE when WE get shot just going about our lives being productive citizens? No they're not, but again, to watch the way the government and media act, you might think they were. The State-sanctioned media ALWAYS tries to MAKE them more special than WE THE PEOPLE. If a reporter or congressman is shot, boy that's hell, but if a common citizen is shot, it's just another "story." And why's this? Because when one of their OWN is shot, they can scream for MORE "security."

Secretly, I bet government officials LOVE it when one of their own gets shot. This means they can extort more protection -- more security -- for themselves.

I'm so sick and tired of hearing that word -- SECURITY -- I'm going to vomit right in the face of the next person that utters it.

So, all this crap about security and the "War of Terror" is really to protect the unlimited government apparatchik that has grown in violation of the Constitution.

And this government -- like all the empires that came and went before it -- is no different, except that this government, through the miracle of computer-assisted, banking fraud, has figured out a way to suck blood out of the citizenry not only through taxes, but through debt, fractional reserve banking and endless banking tricks based on arbitrage and derivatives.

In essence, the Left likes to suck blood out of the rich citizens through taxes on every transaction and the Right likes to suck blood out of as many people as possible by monetizing endless debt and the hidden tax of inflation.

The only solution I can see to this state of affairs -- short of full, violent, bloody revolution -- is to keep voting out all of the incumbent congressmen UNTIL a set of congressmen arrives that enacts TERM LIMITS.

Term limits is the key. The enactment of term limits is the litmus test. The Congress that actually performs the self-sacrificing act of enacting term limits on itself is the Congress that's going to start working for WE THE PEOPLE.
