That knock on your door in the dark of night. “It is the government and we are here to help you.” <br /><br />We now live in a society that a large percentage of folks feels they are entitled to someone somewhere keeping them safe. <br /><br />My response to that is “put on your big girl panties and take responsibility for yourself.”<br /><br />End of rant.
