In Britain's case, the seatbelt law was not driven by government, but by a registered charity which concerns itself with the prevention of accidents.
I have seen you use this a few times here. I am getting sort of curious. Are you saying that a registered charity, (whatever that truly means), singlehandedly put a law on the books? Is that what you are saying? The people and the government had nothing to do with it at all?
I`m serious here, so don`t take it as a flame. I know how sensitive you are.
I still don't know whether to take jackal's account of the grass cops seriously, or whether he's pulling my pisser.
Would someone please verify the "grass cops" for me? I can`t believe that you spent time here beet and don`t believe what I am telling you is fact.
I am also serious about the paint scheme laws, water hose restrictions, the gravel/rock/grass deal.
Seems like the "government coercion" is something that's happening in the US
Did the bright light hurt your eyes when it became clear what we are discussing here? You are absolutely , 100% correct. (man that really hurt
)
I think you are finaly admiting that you are at least beginning to understand what is being discussed here.
But, according to jackal, with all that power and "freedom" you have over there, you are able to change the things you don't like.
Exactly! You may also remember that I said that as of late the natives are getting restless. In other words , it has clearly went too far. Even some of the "don`t rock my boat" crowd are getting the picture. Why? Because their heads have been yanked out of the sand and certain body orfices where it is dark. Their boat has been rocked. They are realizing that they have been lulled into a false sense of secutiy.
I think changes are getting pretty imminent. The ones that are willing to stand up, I beleive, are about to stand up.
Your polls?? What do they mean? I don`t doubt that you are going to get a majority that participates who say everything is peachy creamy and that`s what they want. They are the "don`t rock my boat" crowd looking for a way to justify their bending over. When and if the time comes, what good are they? None. They won`t stand up when their personal rights are being taken away and they are certainly not going to get involved in anything they might appear to come out on the losing end of. In essence your majority has became the minority simply because they will not get involved NO MATTER WHAT.
