Agreed, but can't you get evicted from the Republic of California for thoughts like that?
Oh, God, I hope so! I could handle getting PNG'd from Kalifornistan - I already feel like an expatriated American here.
California should be allowed to secede, and then split into four stated (Northern California, Southern California, LA, and San Francisco.)
I'd like to organise a protest like that - but it won't happen. People out here are addicted to fashion - and wouldn't be caught dead in a loincloth. Although, it would be fine with me - show up barefoot, in a loincloth, and tell them I'm dressed that way for "religous observations" or somesuch so they won't be able to bitch at me.
Then, when they want to search me, I just lift the loincloth. I had to go through half of that when I was trying to fly out for my granddad's funeral a few months ago (and don't get me started on "overbooking" - I paid $700 for the two of us to spend the night at SFO and not get anywhere. Am I missing something?) I told them, when they wanted to do a detail search on me, something along the lines of, "No, strip me naked right here in front of everyone."
The beginning of the end was when they held up GEN Joe Foss, USMC (ret) for carrying his MoH and some memorabilia. If I'd been on duty, I'd have carried his bags to the airplane - I don't know what these people are thinking. Or if they are thinking in the first place.
I'd like to go through in Class A's, with all my medals, one day just to see what they say. Sorry, but I've spent years actually hunting down people like they're supposed to be protecting us from (and probably failing miserably.) Sorry - but I don't wait for them to show up at home - I'll go out and kill them in their beds before they can get here. It's the only way to deal with terrorists...
