As much as I am for individual rights, I always have trouble making that clear distinction when I ask myself, "What would life on Earth be like if everyone in the world was stoned and/or drunk all of the time?" The philosophical conflict often arises with me because the government is hell-bent on making taxpayers financially responsible for deadbeat druggies and drunks. I truly don't give a damn if someone smokes a joint, but I do care when the government sends me the bill for the consequences of the various misbehaviors and crimes of druggies. That's the primary reason for my opposition to illicit drugs.

Bottom line:

I don't want my taxes to support and facilitate affirmative action, Black hate groups, Latino hate groups, Black political groups, Latino political groups, Muslim political groups, illicit drugs, gay marriage, Islamic governments, terrorists, or illegal immigration. I don't want my taxes to pay a penny to support or facilitate any of that, yet it does.

This is why America is so fu¢ked up now. I know that if I live in my own country, regardless of who I ever vote for, I will always have to pay taxes to support all the things that I am opposed to. Meanwhile, conservatives are told, "It's completely fair and constitutional because you get to vote, and you're responsible for who is elected."

That's bull$hit, and that's precisely why our system of government is broken beyond repair. The Founding Fathers never had an inkling that multiculturalism would arrive and produce such a wide-range of views that chaos would ultimately reign.

With all of these problems and many more, the only solution that I continue to come back to is Balkanization. Like-minded groups must break off into their own countries. The USA is definitely over.

Haven't the officers involved been charged with felonies?

The looting was stupid. Looks like the community gathered together and got it stopped.

As for defending criminals .. folks here are doing that.
