You're a tool of support of the empire.

Public works are a good thing. If you don't agree, walk on hiking trails and offroad everywhere. Also, dig a hole every time you need to take a shit.

Yeah.. Thought so.

Actually that, in some locations, requires a permit as well.

Seriously you have to poop 50 feet away from the nearest road and 150 feet away from water sources, campsites, and trails.

Also it is how I learned about the SCAT machine. Yes, SCAT.

I am an Occupant and am therefore a an expert on pooping and pooping related accessories.

minus that damn "a" in the middle of that thar set of words.

I was just making a general statement of contempt in the general direction of any "libertarians" on this forum.

A group of less forward-thinking, less realistic, and less empathetic people I have never encountered.

If they hate the benefits to society that taxes provide every person so much, then they should shit outside and not use roads. They should tell the police officer trying to stop a mugger from mugging them "thank you, no. please go back to arresting others for marijuana, and leave this mugger to mug me as he wishes." They should tell the fireman spraying water on his burning house to go away.

It's funny that no matter how they profess hate and distrust in any amount of government involvement, they still use the things set up to benefit everyone by a redistribution of wealth.

shut the fuck up and acknowledge my poop joke, Hasbinbad.

..and before you give me any of that "state's rights" bullshit, please consider how the very few states were originally organized versus how the many states are now, both demographically and when considering the purpose of each organization.

We are not 13 states with very different goals, confederated in terms of a mutual defense and interest treaty as we were when these things were of paramount importance. In 2011, we are one nation. States rights, along with: the electoral college; the idea of having 2 senators per state instead of a more truly representative senate; the ability to gerrymander districts to effect changes in the vote to set up congress; and many other issues of unfairness which have allowed lobbyists and rules-lawyers to rules-lawyer us into this position are artifacts of a society which is no longer relevant to our current problems, and our current way of life.

That's BS and you know it. People in California/Washington clearly have a different lifestyle from those in Tennessee/Kentucky. Why should they be ruled by laws mandated 2500 miles away by people with no knowledge of their day to day lives or no interest in learning about them?

The goal of politicians is to get richer by fleecing Americans, we can agree to that, yes? So don't even start on how they elect representatives and send them to DC. Without any knowledge of the views of the pollsters in KY/TN, this is purely hypothetical, but why should they get a say in whether or not gay marriage or recreational marijuana is legal in CA/WA?

They shouldn't. Neither should anybody in NY, TX, OH, WI, or FL.

We are more fractal now than we've ever been. There are some intrastate economies that are more powerful than ever (Texas), and some that are crumbling internally (California), so why should we trust someone from Massachusetts to try to fix either one?

On behalf of the police/riot squads using force a lot of these protesting twerps have no fucking respect for them and it sickens me. Why are the men and woman in the blue uniform used as a scapegoat for the movement?

I'll tell you what. If i was a cop and one of these little bastards grabbed my cap and threw it on the floor I wouldn't hesitate to bludgeon them.

How exactly is bludgeoning justified by something as symbolic as stomping your hat? Where does it hurt or endanger you? It doesn't. Ever heard of appropriate force?
