Now Why does that piss me off you ask? Because people are scum. Do I say that because I love Dubbya? No, she can say what she wants about the president. That's what Americans do, exercise free speech. Am I really mad about the her getting a ticket? Well, yeah. I am a big believer in free speech. However, do I think it's all worth this? HELL NO! Trailer Park Denise, as I call her (what? she rides around with obscenities stuck to her car! I believe in free speech but that doesn't mean I have to like what she says!), is looking for that redneck payday baby. Her lottery tickets have been duds lately so it's time to sue government and gets me a settlement! C"MON!! Emotional distress? The only emotional distress she suffered was because the cop made her late to bingo. Uncertain and insecure regarding her right to display her bumper sticker in DeKalb County? She should be insecure about displaying her lack of teeth in Dekalb County. Seeking punitive damages against the DeKalb police officer who gave her the ticket because he "acted with reckless disregard" of her rights? Give me a break. He just enforces the laws. If the changed the law and he didn't get the update for whatever reason, it was just a mistake but I seriously doubt it was "reckless disregard". It pisses me off because that money will come ... well from us. More specifically all the tax payers of Dekalb County. And for what, because she got called out as a redneck. Oh brother.

Why are we so retarded. I mean really. We get so offended at stupid stuff. Now that national politics are reving up, BEWARE! The belly aching will begin. At any other time it's just us Americans working hard and living life. But during the political season it's HALO - Red Vs. Blue baby! What color are you? I think I'm turquoise... or maybe I'm a plaid pattern of multiple colors. Really though, most of us aren't Red or Blue, we're tweeners. Most of us don't walk around spitting out the Democrats or Republicans party line all day. Most of it is crap anyway, no matter which one you usually vote for. Both parties have gotten too much power and the political season is not about ideas or reforms, fixing what's broke or shoring up what ain't, or about good leadership. It's just about bullshit bickering between the two parties. And they will drag all of the country into their squabble. We will once again be told what we want to hear and the person he does the best job at that will win. Don't forget, perception is the only hurdle, not truth. As trial lawyers like to say, truth is relative, find one that works. Well, that's what lead me away from the two parties. I began top realize that they both really suck and are to blame for the shambles we are in. Even though the seem different, they are two sides of the same coin. Don't be fooled by the so called "conservatives" either, they like big government as much as the liberals. Big government mean big power to the one who can wield it. That's what lead me to become a Libertarian. They idea that we really don't need Big Brother to take care of our every need. We can take care of our selves. Just defend our borders, catch and process our criminals and run the offices. Stay out of my bedroom and my life. If I'm not hurting anyone else, leave me alone.
