I can remember when, many years ago, my wife and I took our young children to a fun park in Kansas City, Mo., and while standing on a long line awaiting a chance to enter a roller coaster ride, we all noticed a gang of eight teenagers, upper grades, I suppose, who got off the ride and immediately broke into the head of the line thus delaying all those patient and abiding folks in line a chance to move up.

My children looked at me and asked, “How can they do that Dad?” All I could say was that they were bullies and had enough strength (stupidity) to barge in where they should not have a right to be.

And, as I demonstrated to them, only someone brave enough to call this action to the attention of the people who were supposed to maintain control would any change occur. I did and the gang was removed, angered and belligerent.

If, indeed, they were able to perform this trick after dark, in secrecy from the officials, they would have gotten away with it.

What, you ask, has this to do with anything? Look at Obamacare. Look at the upcoming immigration reform. Look at the multitude of closed door meetings that government conducts. And, when an oppressive law is passed, we cannot reach any politician outside of our own district. Try it and see! Even our representatives are shielded by staff.

If we cannot see that we are slowly becoming slaves to the government, we are certainly blind.

God help us!
