[I want the USA back]

It’s how the government controls the people. At any moment any one of us can be arrested and prosecuted for nothing, and we will go broke defending ourselves.

The government has infinite resources. We don’t, unless we are “poor.”

If they want to get you, they will. The power of government. It has the power and the resources. This is why the people we put in power absolutely MUST be incorruptible and fair. I’m sure there are prosecutors who are 100% incorruptible and fair. But with most of them, the temptation is too great to use their office for personal gain or vendetta.

Any one who ever wanted or intended to use office for personal gain or vendetta has all the ready-made rationalizations needed in the pathology of leftism.

There once was a TV show called Truth or Consequences. A contestant was charged with walking across the street from the studio, smoking a cigarette, and coming back into the studio without breaking a law. An unopened pack of cigarettes was provided.

He failed.

As was the habit back in the fifties, he tore the foil from a portion of the cigarette pack and popped out a smoke. Tearing the tax stamp up plus the foil resulted in a package that left the cigarettes to flop around, so the tax stamp was left intact, in violation of a federal law that said the stamp had to be destroyed on opening the pack.
