cAPSLOCK,
Personally, I think that '49r is like the majority of Americans who like to complain about a system they seem to so distrust, yet is ran by people who could be their neighbors or relatives or their neighbors.
Kinda like everyone who thinks the gov't is a omnipotent power bent upon depriving us all of our liberties with their regulations and laws.
But just what the heck is the gov't??
Do these conspiratorialists forget that it is made up of people who clock in and out for 40 hours or more a week, have families, and pay taxes just like everybody else in this country.
And just like you have power plays and incompetence in every private sector industry or in your daily jobs, gov't is no different.
Problem is, when some idiot in the Government screws up or abuses his power, the whole gov't is blamed as a whole, to include each and every person working for that gov't.
And that kind of resentment is what causes wackos like Tim McVeigh to target Federal buildings with truck bombs, killing hundreds of innocent people.
And then you have the wackos who want to alledge that Oklahoma City was really staged and performed by the shadow gov't so they don't have to feel ashamed for believing the same anti-gov't tripe that caused terrorists like McVeigh to commit his actions.
What about those kids who died in Oklahoma City? Did they deserve to have some idiot try to advance his agenda of protest to such an extreme that he felt warranted premeditated murder of hundreds of people?
At least the BATF and FBI can't rationally be accused of premeditated murder based upon the evidence. McVeigh knew exactly what he was doing and the repercussions it would have.
Kinda hurts knowing that such a "patriot" as McVeigh shared many of the beliefs about the gov't that many of you seem to display out here.
I can't blame you for being embarrassed enough that you have to continue deflecting criticism on the Governmental "Leviathan".
