There are so many things to be disenfranchised about, it's hard to pick just one

It seems like some TV commercials are just outright lies, you know like saying smoking is good for you or some dumb thing. I have seen a few commercials lately that make me yell at the TV, "THAT'S BULLSHIT" when the people on the TV are telling me something I know for sure is not true I have a hard time keeping my opinions to myself.

Who really cares if I yell at my TV, I'm sure the neighbors think I am yelling at my wife or beating her or something, but I'm not. Or at least that is what I will tell the police when they come to my house, wink, wink.

It's a joke.

Speaking of a joke, let me tell you this little story about our local police . . .

There is a guy that lives down the street who is always making loud noise, either with his car or his motorcycle, you know the type, the "hey look at me, look at how cool I THINK I am!"

Yea, he is one of those guys, well be befriends this teenage kid from the end of the block and tells the kid that they will go riding dirt bikes together some time . . .

but it never happens and so the kid gets pissed and starts making threats to the older guy. The older guy's wife calls the police and tells them about the kid and about the fact that her husband has a gun and a permit. (the older guy has the same general color of truck as me, his is a different model and newer but it's kinda the same)

So one day I'm in the middle of dinner and someone starts pounding on my front door, not using the doorbell or knocking, but pounding with a fist. I look through the peephole but can not see anyone recognizable because they are standing off to the side, so I don't say anything or answer the door and go back to my dinner.

The pounding continues a second time and my wife goes to the door and says it's the police and opens the door. At this point I come up to see what is going on and the policeman ORDERS me outside!

What the fuck dude, you can not order me to leave my home! I have rights, at least last time I took a government class I think I remember something about being protected against unlawful searches!

Who, and where do these guys think they are? Russia, Iran, China, I don't think so buddy. If it wasn't for my wife I would have just slammed the door in their faces and told them to come back with a search warrant.

They were looking for the jackass down the street and had the wrong house!

It's no wonder I have such contempt for law enforcement.
