Thank you Jeffrey, I'm printing that out to show others. It's interesting: I'm passionately for freedom to live our lives the way we see fit, (as long as we dont hurt other people or hurt/steal other's property) always. So I see what is the meaning in many of these "sob stories" that people react to without realizing what is really there (i.e. the "gun" stories that never EVER tell the millions of anecdotes about people saving themselves and their loved ones with weapons, only the ones that show the opposite, though they are FAR LESS in number, the "people hurting police" stories, though there are many MANY cases of police hurting innocent people and violating their rights (unless the hurt one is homeless or some other "needs special love and attention" category.) So I become VERY upset at the people who think it's just fine that our authorities use excessive force, no-knock entries (and the Supreme Court upheld no-knock entries, unthinkable!!!!), shooting people who are unarmed, shooting people who are holding bats or trowels for heaven's sake. And asset forfeiture.... The last one is the one that turned me from a Republican to a Libertarian: Reagan signed it into law. Anyway, thanks. As I said before, if those photos don't wake America up, if Americans are still willing to elect Republicrats and let things go on as they are been going on. If the U.S. citizens no longer care about their rights, and freedom, then as of December I will quit all party affiliations and volunteer work and you will hear very little about "freeing us" from me. As long as "they" don't confiscate my freedom and stuff, I'll lay low, hang loose, and enjoy hiking in beauty. Best of luck and smiles to all. We are having a BEAUTIFUL warm spring day in So Cal. It is breathtakingly wonderful outside. Freeus
