Subject: PA-RKBA! I don't miss my guns and don't miss the united States either.

Hello all,

I have been more than the absentee list owner, I've also been gladly absent
from the united States as well.  I've spent the last month and a half in
Thailand.  I've done nothing here but eat, sleep, go to the beach, and
sleep with Thai women - something I wholeheartedly suggest you all try once
in your lives - maybe twice.

My guns are locked up in a safe at home - safe and sound - but I don't miss
them.  That's right, you can have them all, here I don't need them.

I also don't miss the united States - you can all have it.  I have said
many times, that this lawless coup goverment that resides in Washington
ignores the laws and various constitutions with impunity. Althought it
isn't supposed to be this way, the states look to the federal government
for their cues as to how they conduct their business - jack booted thugs
has been replaced been replaced by the need to "safeguard" us all
from weapons of mass destruction.=20

Bullshit.

While everyone rallies behind this current regime heaving
"rights" off the aft deck of this slow moving death ship, the
united States of America grows sicker and sicker with the cancer invading
every part of society.  While some of you limit your crusade to firearms,
federal agencies who have no business being anywhere but Washington DC
quietly and sometimes not so quietly invade your homes without an 4th
amendment protections - no judge signs nor sees any document purporting to
a crime.

And now I read this article about Maryland and having known about Maryland
and their love for Naziesque tactics, they surpass NJ with this one.

Speaking of Nazi's, I'm often asked if I am a Nazi.  I've been asked this
by Swedes, English, Danish, German, just about anyone from any country
other than Thailand or the united States.  You see anyone who thinks as I
do must be with the Nazi's.  I can see where opening our borders to anyone
has diluted the need for freedom in the uSA because most everyone else
thinks that socialism is a good thing.  These people make Democrats look
like Republicans.

And where will it end?  Warrantless searches, roadside safety stops, and
whatever else is embazoned with the new banner of safeguarding our freedom.

We don't have freedom, no one does.  Here in Thailand they have a King. 
He's actually a good man, does good things, has a "democratic"
government that steals everyone blind, but their basic premise is very
Libertarian - you either work or you die - or - you leave me alone and I'll
leave you alone.

I like it here, they have a constitution that they just adopted, but the
government here also ignores it to a degree.

The difference between most countries and the u.S. is very simple - in the
united States, most Americans believe the government to be good, ethical,
and law-abiding.  Try to tell an American that their government steals from
them and they will laugh at you.

People of other countries already know the government steals from them and
they actually expect it.  No big deal, it just comes down to how much they
steal.

Well the united States has stolen more than your money, it stole your
birthright right out from under you with the pemission of the people.

I think I'm saying, that this fight is doomed.  I'm not unconvinced that
the entire 9/11 debacle wasn't "allowed" to happen just so the
government could clamp down and eradicate the little trickle of rights that
was left.

It's not just the guns, it's the law.  Until the people demand that the
goverments federal and local abide by the documents that
"supposedly" bind them, we will never see freedom again.

And anyone who would like to challenge me on this go right ahead. I'm
watching the list and the threads and I am reluctantly coming back
mid-week.

I think it is all doomed.  Am I wrong?

Howard
