his entire country was a prison colony once
Ouch...that was a bit harsh.
When I look around at the bars on my windows, my collection of weapons for self-protection, my heavy duty doors and locks, my motion/heat sensitive alarm systems, my motion/heat sensitive lights, and my day/night vision capable video cameras spying on my house, shop, yard, and vehicles I have to remind myself sometimes that I'm not living in a freakin' prison.
And I live in a nice quite well maintained suburban upper middle class neighborhood in a low crime area in a smaller community way up in the Pacific Northwest...lol
If that's progress - they can shove it. It's just gettin' a bit too crowded and crazy here where I live for me.
I'm already getting my house ready to sell so me and the wife with her two dogs can move out in the country a bit. I'm going to buy us a big cheap fixer-upper re-possessed double wide trailer, put it towards the back of about 3-5 acres of land, build a big tin-roofed pole bulding shop next to it, fence the property all off with a big locked gate on the front, secure it all like a fortress, and try my best to live the rest of my life in peace and quiet.
I need to be out in the boondocks a bit where I can fart without my neighbor smelling it and calling the health department, where I can scratch where ever it itches, knock off a piece with the wifey, or watch a ball game in my underwear without someone complaining and calling the cops, and where I can holler at my dogs to quit barking without someone calling animal cruelty. And where I don't hear cars all day and night driving by with loud steros rattlin' my tools in my toolbox and the dishes in my kitchen cupboards. Or where I won't have to prance around inside my house like an idiot doin' the pee-pee dance while someone is hogging the bathroom either...lol
And once I'm good and settled in...if some poeople know what's good for them - they won't show up uninvited. I've had enough neighbors, church people, local politicians and public officials, and sales people banging on my door pestering me and butting their noses in my business already to last me 2 lifetimes...lol
And now I thnk I'll quit hijacking this thread, get off my little soap box, quitting ranting, STFU and go have a cold beer.
