Soccer leagues, amusement parks, vibrant markets, militias armed with U.S. weapons, talk about your big ones. Aahhh, I love the smell of normalcy in the morning!

You'll do whatever the Government tells you to do, out of fear, including give up all your liberties, and your morals just to feel safe. The Founding Fathers are spinning in their graves.
