No I think your are insane and a fruitcake for your claims about 9/11
WTC7 and associated moronic posts of your. Frankly you've become an
insane idiot....or it is just no longer subtle and out there for the
world to see how fucked up you really are.

.... and people regard jury duty as onerous! At the time the photo was
taken, Selective Service was a dimming memory in the minds of GAR vets.

A very germane question. They are empowered to issue citations, write
tickets, for statute infractions. (As an aside, notice this should NOT
involve discharging a firearm into a docile, cooperative person's spine as
part of the process.) Removing them from the road requires their specific
invitation. Reckless driving, for example, is a misdemeanor charge. Now,
talk to me about government sponsored thugs and goons, and abuse of police
powers.

I don't. Can't imagine why anyone would shirk their duty as an
american. It is everybodies responsibility...then again americans have
become incredibly irresponsible and spoiled brats over the last 50
years imnsho.
