“For those looking for security, be forewarned that there's nothing more insecure than a political promise.”

Awww yes, the current expansion of the police state. How served and protected to you feel when a revenueing agent of the totalitarian police state pulls in directly behind you in traffic.

The vitality and viability of the Constitution is the Virtue of We The People.

As Virtue and attendant self control wane, laws and attendant oppression wax.

So true and so sad.

We Americans are falling for false promises.

Excellent! Have we such a poor memory that we have forgotten all the un-kept promises of those we voted for in the past? I'd like to 'fast' from government for a while -- to abstain from being ruled, to let Nature balance things out.

Ain't it the truth.

Security is a double edged sword - the more you have the less freedom you have..
