"It's like people don't believe that sticking to the law is actually a possibility, and I aim to change that."
But you just admitted that you, yourself are not "sticking to the law." Why is it acceptable for you to violate a law that you don't see as fit to stop others from violating a different law? Something about having a cake and eating it...
The whole point that was being made is when LEOs turn on their lights at a red light and turn them off after they are through the light. They are giving warning to those at the intersection. They are blowing through the intersection avec lights.
I hate to break it to you, but the USA didn't start off as "99% white." It was stolen from 99% not white. Maybe the colonists should have stayed in England and fixed their own country.
This is what I have been thinking the whole time I've been reading the responses. You might recall the part where the Supreme Chancellor says that they need to remind the people "Why they need us." So what do they do? They fill the news with stories of chaos and terrorism so the people realize why they were willing to give up their freedoms. It's really quite frightening when you see so many works of "fiction" like this, and then world seems to follow their lead.
Taking up arms against this country is NOT a perfectly good reason to have civil liberties taken away. I direct you to the Declaration of Independence. "That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." When this country declared itself independent (hence the clever title for the document), the "founding fathers" thought ahead enough to say that if the government was getting out of control, it is our right to take up arms against it, and remove it. I am all for safety, but the benefits must outweigh the costs. So far, I don't see that happening. I, for one, could do without all the covert operations the government is performing in the name of safety.

It's pronounced 'nucular'. Nucular.
Snakes on a Plane was most certainly NOT interminably dull.

I don't think they exist.

What is a buttseck, and why would you want to shave it?
I've warned 'Jack'. He's a little concerned by your obsession with him and his location. And with the team of stalkers you have apparently lined up.
I beg to differ with the last statement. Many evil villains are quite often stroking said cute fluffy little kittens.
I'm not a racist. And quit calling me Shirley.

There's a shortage of perfect breasts in the world. It would be a pity to damage yours.
You guys are all a bit confused by the homonym. He keeps a bowl of _chocolate_ mousse in his hair. You know, for snacking.

I have a question for you. If you had the choice of being the top scientist in your field, or getting mad cow disease, which would you choose?

What he means is, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
