Freedom implies the right to make choices. But, we are not free to choose to break the laws of the land. Penalties are imposed if we make that choice.We have freedom to be creative and fulfill our unique individuality, but we do not have freedom.to impose our will upon others.The penalty is often paid for later by innocent bystanders rather than the perpetrator. That means that the penalty doesn't always deter the offender.

    It's been increasing since the mid '70s, IMHO. Under the current regime of identity politics, it's only going to get a lot worse.

    The original Jim Crow was pretty much dead by the late '60s, but those that use race as a cudgel (such as the white supremacist hiding in every closet false narrative and the rampant white privilege myth) need to keep the memory of it alive. Harping on that memory acts as a good smoke screen for the New Jim Crow and it holds millions of innocent white people hostage to a false guilt.

    This is the inculcation of the New Jim Crow. Same as the old Jim Crow except the favored people are a different color.

    Exactly, thanks Herb.
    Reverse discrimination, affirmative action, quotas. and whatever is the latest buzzword-

    All are discrimination, but on what is irrelevant.
    All that ignores how to select the best for the job.

    History will record -- if the left prevails: Nazi Nancy is a great hero. If the right prevails: Nancy is the lowest of the low and a scumbag to boot.

    The war may well be coming. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm old and will die soon, and it might be a good thing because I don't know if I could endure what I see around the corner.

    After removing all of the laws that do not follow the original intent of the constitution, and repealing the amendments that corrupt that intent.

    True, other than rules that guide our movements in the infrastructure, Like traffic lights, stop signs etc, most or all other so called laws do not align with the laws of nature not natures causation.

    I'M FREE- I'm free,
    And freedom tastes of reality,
    I'm free-I'm free,
    AN' I'm waiting for you to follow me
    If I told you what it takes
    To reach the highest high,
    You'd laugh and say 'nothing's that simple'
    But you've been told many times before
    Messiahs pointed to the door
    And no one had the guts to leave the temple!
    I'm free-I'm free
    And freedom tastes of reality
    I'm free-I'm free
    And I'm waiting for you to follow me
    How can we follow?
    How can we follow?

    Thomas Jefferson didn't agree with you.
    The "laws of the land" have been corrupted and are not moral.

    Sad. Race war wasn’t necessary. However if that’s what they choose ...........

    As with the BLM TERRORIST RIOTS???? Of course, the law doesn't apply equally but seems to ONLY apply according to race. If you are white, you are prosecuted. If you are black, you get off. It is time to apply the law evenly across the board and stop with the democritic choosing of who is prosecuted.
