And I will continue to do so. Sadly we are becoming outnumbered by people who are not engaged by any stretch of the imagination but still have the power to vote. People like to ask what freedoms have we lost specifically, which I like to respond with: name three things that you can do that the government has not involved itself in in one form or another. To answer it another way, my criminal activity consists of driving my suburban in the diamond lane by myself with my finger out the window at the prius’s. The gas I buy for my suburban provides far more funding to build and maintain the diamond lane than any prius yet I am denied the use of it. There is freedom for you.
