Even with gpstroll knowing the cop is there I don't think it will be long at all.

It hasn't quite gotten this bad in GA yet. Hopefully, it is trending the other way in GA. Brunswick recently decided to scrap the RLC's claiming they had accomplished their goal of improving safety at intersections.

The US military doesn't fight for those things. It fights for special interests that profit from war. It fights for the rulers of the nation. It fights for the interests of the Federal Government. That's what it really does. This is what many people figure out after they've been in the military for awhile. "WAR is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives." -Major General Smedley D. Butler, USMC Read the rest: http://www.lexrex.com/enlightened/articles/warisaracket.htm It was written in the run up to the US getting involved in WW2. The words have only become more true with the wars since. War is a Racket. A great racket so long as morons like yourself believe that people are 'dying for our freedom'. What they are dying for is our (and their) enslavement. Here, watch what your empire does in the occupied territories: http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/55094.html

I used to think WW2 was the 'good war'. I've learned more and found it too was just another racket. Rather than get deeply into it, the US entry into WW2, and perhaps even WW2 in europe itself, was the direct consequence of US actions in years between the US entry in to WW1 and 1941. The people of the USA were manipulated into war as all people are by those who wanted it, those who profit from it. Sure, the empire of Japan attacked the US. After the US federal government did a series of things that could not have been better designed to provoke a Japanese attack. In europe, without US entry into WW1 and without bankers like Prescott Bush, there would not have been a Hitler to worry about. The best war ever gets is a war of separation for people to be free of some ruler(s). But that only works for the people trying to escape if and only if they too aren't being manipulated by some special interests looking to profit from the conflict and/or separation.
