It kind of left me feeling like when the bird of paradise finally flew over me, it crapped on my head.

Let us not forget the unconstitutional bureaucracies that have grown like a fungus upon our once comprehensible government to strangle us and confuse us. Let us not forget the political inbreeding between these politicians and these businesses where buddies constantly scratch each others' backs in a never-ending dance of quid pro quo. Let us not forget the con artists who sued the banks that refused to make the bad loans claiming that they were "discriminating." Let us not forget that our species is infinitely corruptable and that power is one of the surest ways there. Let us not forget that too much power is being held by too few people. Let us not forget that today's popular culture is nothing more than <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolefeed" rel="nofollow">prolefeed</a> designed to keep us dumb and too busy to notice what is going on. Let us not forget that the <b>REAL</b> American dream is liberty, the right to live your life and manage your own affairs free from undue coersion. I'll take a large order of crony capitalism, hold the capitalism. One party doesn't trust big business. The other doesn't trust big government. I wonder why anyone trusts either one. (Note that "big" business is not inherently evil, but as noted, power corrupts.) Sorry, I'm tired and I tend to be a gripegut when I'm tired...

Saving the pennies now, but it'll be a while - especially since I'll need a new holster then. Until then I carry a Surefire 6P with me at all times. You got one you recommend? Agreed.
