A little background on me real quick: Army Reserves/ Going to IUPUI to become an officer
This kind of thing really upsets me on two levels.
One: At any moment I could be called upon to defend our country and support the constitution.
Two: I am going to school to become a police officer, and it is very discouraging to see authority abusing their powers.
heAnother youtube video that really got me was the gun confiscations after Katrina hit.
heI grew up learning history as well as the constitution to only see rights disputed and taken from citizens. (I don't know about you, but it happens more that I am comfortable with)
Seriously, Why I did i waste my time to learn the Amendments if they could easily be taken from me or my family.
For those of you who haven't seen the video about Katrina

At the same time, I think that the seat belt laws are stupid. Okay, they are designed to save lives, but I do not believe that I should be forced to wear them.
It should be our freedom not a law to use a seat belt. Should it not? Just doesn't make sense to me for the government to control how we want to live.
In High School, I was in a debate about seat belt laws for a class. One of the arguments that took me off guard is that some people believe in their religion that God will protect them, and do not wear seat belts because they feel it is not their place to protect themselves, but that God has control of their fate. Should the government enforce seat belt laws on these few people practicing their religion?

I guess this is just another Late Night rant that won't make any progress to the current state of things.
If only the two words "Hope" and "Change" our next president (as voted by "our" media)
hrowingPlease excuse the politics that belong in a different thread, All I freaking hear about is how great Obama is.
