I know some DHS guys. They're friends of mine. In fact, they are brother Elks. The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center is here. I have no beef with the troops. It's upper management that scares me sometimes. Just saying.
I agree. The entire well-meaning, but perhaps mis-guided executive homeland security group that distrusts us all.
To stretch a little more off-topic. Small scale crime studies show low crime is very dependent on relationships with your neighbors and concern for your surroundings versus LE or other government intervention. I always think, if the government could effect a safe society, prisons and housing projects would be the ideal example of safe controlled society.
Sorry if I misunderstood monsterdog's intent with the original post. I just get very riled about the very bias of press we get on both sides on the issues. It's hard to find any legitimate reporting anymore.
Why can't the world be more like scrapyard forums? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
