Hell, we need'em, doncha know!

... two cops, I mean two, count'em TWO cops, loaded down with weapons
worthy of a military exercise, came out and ordered me to quit mowing my
postage stamp of a yard at 11:30AM last Sunday ... a yard for which I
pay $13k + a year in property taxes for the privilege; and half of that
to pay for a broken educational system where 61.7% of the students are
from parents who are mostly here illegally, and only 7.8% of the entire
student body remotely share my heritage:

$13K?! I moved out of VT because of taxes half that (to AL, where they're
less than an eighth of what you pay). I waited until 9:30 to mow my lawn this
morning. No problems, other than it's hot and humid. Hot happens here this
time of year.

We are past due for a revolution, but don't hold your breath. I fought
once, supposedly for this countries _values_ (Ha!) but no way would I do
it again for the current crop of ****head "citizens".

You got what you deserved, America ... including a politicized climate.
