I feel sorry for you. Your statements indicate you wish to just
be a happy, safe little rabbit, hiding in your warren, a prisoner of it.
You'd happily give up all your freedoms for security. Well, go ahead.
Just leave the rest of us room to keep our freedoms, even if it means we
take a few risks that others with abuse them. I'd rather be free than
guaranteed safe but a prisoner. Only when you want to force the rest of
us into your ideal will you get any resistance from me.

Just because I don't worship the mighty big brother and all he
provides doesn't mean I'm some extremist whacko. Government flows from
the people by the consent of the governed. I only object when it tries
to be an entity separate from the people trying to do "what is best" for
them, regardless of how the people feel about it. Is it really such a
frightening thought to you to have your freedoms as outlined in the
Constitution (assuming you are US citizen, if not I understand, as you
would have been raised in an authority-worship environment and that
conditioning is hard to break)?

Well, if they can prove the crimes, they should do the time.
They get no sympathy from me.
Someday I hope you'll have the
courage to live in the light,
even if there is a chance of danger.
