OT July 4th just around the corner

There's nothing like being in the right place at the right time!

Isn't it odd that if you were in a court of law and complained to the judge "He made faces at me" the judge most likely would say "Grow up" or "Look the other way if it bothers you so much". Yet one pin head in a crowd gets offended by a recognized traditional song and has the oomph to shut everything down. Sometimes people move into an area and their only concern is how much the house cost without checking the local mindset. Then they find out later the only way to "survive" is to become a nuisance and change things to suit them. I found it easier to just take care of my little plot of land, my little house, and my little family, and wave once in awhile to my neighbors. Of course I would get involved in serious issues that involved safety. For example, I didn't mind if my neighbor shot his BB gun. I only spoke up if they were landing in my yard. I didn't mind if my neighbor's kid was shooting off bottle rockets. But when few of them landed on my house, yes, I spoke up. I don't think anyone would fault me for that.

It seems like the ACLU ought to be renamed the American Communist Liberation Union. It seems like just about every case they've been on that I know of, I'm on the opposing side.
