The New London case made me sick and panicked the day it was announced. I figured that coupled with things like the "patriot" act signaled the end of the US as we know it. When I thought more about it, that direction started roughly 70 years ago and it simply takes time to fully destroy what our founding fathers put together.
That day I bought a small leather bound copy of the Constitution and Declaration of Independance and I began carrying it around with me. I keep in the pages pictures of my wife, my kid and my dog as things that are important to me that I need to be reminded of all the time.
My experience lately has shown me that you cannot debate anything with any real hope of convincing anyone of anything they don't already know on some level. Why is that? People avoid reason like the plague. I sure hope that someone can convince me otherwise, but it appears that this country is well on their way to an end that we have come to deserve very much. Hopefully the nation that replaces whatever is left puts us back on a path of property rights, individual rights and a constitution that protects us from the government.
