What the hell is going on here.
Some Americans may have felt uneasy 35 years ago when DUI laws, DWI checkpoints, seatbelt laws, and car liability insurance laws were started, but most people felt that the experts must be right. Pro-police state shows like “COPS” and “America’s Most Wanted” were then aired, neighborhood watch groups were formed, “get tough on crime” candidates were elected, and laws allowing mandatory minimums, IMBRA, 3 strikes laws, curfews, police militarization, teen boot camps, school metal detectors, private prisons, and chain gangs were enacted. Nanny state smoking laws then started appearing. When 9/11 happened, the Patriot Act was passed, NSA wiretapping, no knock raids, take down notices, no fly lists, terror watch lists, Constitution free zones, stop and frisk, kill switches, National Security Letters, DNA databases, kill lists, FBAR, FATCA, Operation Chokepoint, TSA groping, civil forfeiture, CIA torture, NDAA indefinite detention, secret FISA courts, FEMA camps, laws requiring passports for domestic travel, IRS laws denying passports for tax debts, gun and ammo stockpiles, laws outlawing protesting, Jade Helm, sneak and peek warrants, policing for profit, no refusal blood checkpoints, license plate readers, redlight cameras, speed cameras, FBI facial and voice recognition, tattoo databases, gun bans, the end to the right to silence, free speech bans, searches without warrants, CISPA, SOPA, private prison quotas, supermax prisons, sex offender registration laws, and sex offender restriction laws were allowed. Now that the USA is a total police state, Americans are finding out that changing anything is impossible and that freedom is lost forever.

They've gotten "their nose under the tent" -- let's see where they take it from here. A new trend in spam and phishing is to benignly join popular boards and then gain access to the member lists (which often contain email and personal info in the individual member profiles).
Every time the government bombs a country, bans free speech, confiscates guns, wiretaps people, seizes property, tortures, and kills people then you are responsible.Silence means consent.You would be naive to think that the government won't get worse or that you will never be a victim of government abuse.
On the old site, Politics was hidden from public view. Members had to request access. Maybe go back to that, and require some number of garage related posts first.

I don't know about 30 years but I don't disagree with all that Hacksaw says
Methinks Senor Hacksaw is a copy and paster.
3 strikes laws, DNA databases, CISPA, SOPA, NDAA, IMBRA, FBAR, FATCA laws, TSA groping, secret FISA courts, and Jade Helm.
This feels like Obama's 3rd term.
Dang, just when I have run out of tinfoil for a hat.
