As long as the citizens of this country keep wanting to get something for free this country will continue to go in the same direction. Bailouts, cash for clunkers, tax credits to fix your home, cash from the government to buy a home and the list goes on.

Part of this is understandable, honestly.

Being self-sufficient is a crime. Work always costs more than it pays.

The handouts from the Tax Coffer have outpaced the earning potential. Those who work end up in debt paying for those who do nothing. Faced with that reality, working is the dumbest thing you can do, because it only postpones the inevitable.

Why postpone that to the next generation, when we could nip it in the bud?

Work won't pay off until that system is terminated. Feeding it won't terminate it...

I KNOW I may tickle some nerves here but -
Along the lines of personal responsibility- I believe I have a civic responsibility to NOT relinquish any rights to my local authority. I haven't applied for a concealed carry permit and I won't. A civic responsibility to restore freedom- real freedom- where you don't have to justify your actions to county sheriffs.

No- I'm not some conspiracy nut that fears Katrina-Style gun confiscation, starting with the list of CCW holders..

I do, however, realize that carrying my pistol isn't a given or granted right/privilege. Nothing to license here.. just a gun.. as if it were a PDA or cell phone.. each comes with specific instructions of use.

So this, of course, is a personal opinion and decision- and I don't look down upon anyone with a conceal permit. After all- I signed up for a driver's license.. a conceal license is similar when you follow the above logic.
