And isn't it frightening how this totalitarian government will permit people to petition on line to address any grievances they might have against the government.

Reminds me of the comedian who wrote the FBI to find out if they were keeping a file on him. The response was "We weren't, but we are now."

Regards,

Just wait until Merrylander gets here in the morning, he's not going to be happy...
I'm not sure anyone who has been replying in this thread is happy.

Hey, I've made three jokes. (Don't worry, I'll keep my day job.) I'm so happy you could put me in a UPS commercial.

Well, in theory, they are supposed to if I collect enough signatures. Obviously, the system is corrupt so there are no promises. I'm still not going to give up. If anything, it puts the notion out there.

You mean other countries have equivalent agencies to our Homeland Security!!! GASP!! That's a sure sign we have to get rid of it.

There certainly is a risk. I'm sure I'm already on every list anyway. Doesn't matter, I'm not giving in to this.

I laughed put loud when I read the joke about the comedian and the FBI.
Very apropos to the conversation in this thread.
