I had an incidence today that made me think. On my way home i had one of south carolina's finest behind me. It was a State Trooper. So while he's behind me i am keeping constant look at my speedometer to make sure that i don't go over the 50 mph speed limit. For me, while i am getting into the political scene with the Libertarian Party, i feel that it is paramount as a representative of this great party that i keep and maintain all laws even if i don't agree with them. However as this fine officer (which is what i think of all law enforcement officers unless they prove that otherwise, i mean they deserve the same respect that the military deserves because they lay their life on the line everyday for us) is behind me, he takes off well in excess of the LEGAL speed limit to pass by me on a double yellow line. This made me think. Shouldn't all members of this society be held accountable to the same laws on the same level. Why should the ones enforcing the law think they are above the law? It is time that the law enforcement officers of this nation (of whom we employ since their salaries are paid by our taxes) be held to account for failing to abide by the same laws they are sworn to uphold.
The more i think about it, the more i realize it is the same for all forms and areas of government. They take the masses as mindless idiots, who are on strings for them to pull just like the fictional Godfather Vito Corleone. Actually shouldn't it be the people pulling the string of the politicians, instead of the other way around. It's time to rise up and hold the feet of those in power to the fire of the Constitution.
Viva Liberty!
