Fast Cars, Police, and The New Consequences

So, which is better? My parent’s world, or mine? I shudder to think what my children’s world will be. What is happening to our freedom, our rights? I do have a great respect for the men and women who swear their lives to the protection of the American citizen. I pray for them daily, and I know that there are so many police officers in the service who deserve every bit of respect they can get. But, there are also those who take advantage of a corrupt system to feed their need for power. These are the ones who in feeding their own needs are further corrupting the system. These are not the officers who will take the kid who has had one too many to drink home and say hey, sleep it off. And then remind the parents that it is their job to care for that kid. I would love to go back in time, back when the police were there to keep you safe, not take your freedom. Maybe one day we will return to that time. I hope so, but until then, if you see cars racing, move over, give them room. Let them drive while they can, before they get caught. And if one of them is a girl, cheer her on, maybe it’ll be me.
