Sometimes I sit here and actually envy you guys. Belive it or not, i used to be a conservative Reagan Republican. And then I turned 18 and had to face the REAL world all by myself. Such self-righteous, trusting authoritarian worldviews make me nostalgic for my childhood where mommy and daddys house and comfort shielded me from reality.

I think a lot of blacks and latinos may beg to differ with your cheery trusting opinions of law enforcment. I myself can clearly remeber being made to come out of a car with my hands up and made to lie on the sidewalk as so the officer can tell me I was exceeding the speed limit by 3 mph. I'm sure you can relate. [yuh huh]
