I have the utmost respect for the authors of our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

I have zero respect for the vast majority of our current lawmakers.

I have the utmost respect for the LEO's and armed service members who are our there making sure we keep those original ideals intact. Believe me - there are some that are still out there, and it's unfair to paint them all with a broad brush.

I have zero respect for the ones who do otherwise.

And I'm damn glad I grew up in the era I did, and not the current one. frown
