Pet licensing and permits!!!!
Separating ALL of your trash!!!
Revenue generators.
You still can...in the United States.
Who can deny that we do truly live in a tyranny?
I don’t do that. Come and get me!
I found this cool WWII era USDA instructional video on growing a victory garden. If you did half of this stuff today the USDA, OSHA, EPA and a half dozen other federal agencies would show up with SWAT teams. (The kid in the cloud of pesticide is a personal high point.)

They get to decide what goes in my gas. Doesn’t seem that big a deal, but it costs more, goes fewer miles, uses precious water resources, gums up the carburetor in my lawnmower & tiller every winter.
That and it makes it impossible to store gas for any period of time. Anyone that believes in preparedness is SOL. We all now are limited to a few week’s supply of gas. Nobody stores it anymore. In a crisis, we are at the govt’s mercy.
Yes, I know StaBil helps some.
UH. Did you pay for it???
Sorry, didn’t mean to depress folks. I want young people to know what we used to have. Maybe some of them will be able to get it back one day.
Most don't know what the WW2 was about and think the CW was fought with Canada. Your questions will get blank stares from anyone under 40.
I remember kids bringing guns on the schoolbus, so they could go squirrel hunting over lunch.
In CA today....... all sales thru FFL, no face to face private party transfers. Handgun registration, long gun registration, special AW registration, 10 day wait and this ist goes on.
When I was you, you could mail-order guns from Sears.
They took away our DDT. Now we have bedbugs.
While in elementary school, my dog walked me to the bus stop and then returned home so my mother knew I had gotten on the bus.
Best be warned that sometimes it comes with strings attached.
I remember being able to lay down in the back seat not in a car seat when my brother and I were young kids as well as being able to sit in the front seat. We always argued over who got “shotgun”
Now there are places where I can’t leave my dog in the bed of my vehicle when I have a cap on it. It is an all white vehicle with a white cap. It gets a few degrees hotter in there than it is outside. I left the back window of the cap open for him one time while playing at the park with my dd and got hassled by the cops.
Awwwww. That’s cute. Now he would get shot by the popo.
Unfortunately, FR has its baser DU element. An embarrassment to all of us, but whaddya gonna do?
That's because the system of roads was set up when people were free. When roads were made for cars, we were entering into an age where government wanted to control everything. So instead of locals being in charge of their local roads, and people coming up with non-governmental ways of developing a network of highways, the government stepped in, created the roads and then created a new system of governing everything that happened on them. The traffic cop was invented, the stop sign and light, the driver's license, and on and on.
Freedom of movement is severely proscribed compared to then. We can go wherever we want, and get there easily, and for that I am glad, but wherever we go, our movements are tracked, taxed, regulated and licensed. I think there is a less oppressive way to have set up our transportation system.
