Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you should do according to your country.

The British government is investigating the possibility of taxing people according to the weight of the trash they put to the curb.  They have secretly put microchips in people trash bins without their knowledge in preparation to pass the extremely unpopular tax.

"...yesterday, research by the Big Brother Watch campaign group showed that the use of chipped bins has quietly spread over the past year." .... "According to the responses from town halls, 2,629,052 homes have now been given bins with chips"

This is yet another example of how our governments have progressed from a representation of the people to a decision maker for the people.  It is embarrassing that we as a people have idly sat by while our rights are slowly eroded away one decision at a time.

I liked you better way back when.

COMPARE, and

So Simple, Even a Liberal Can Do It

Gnome Enthusiast's 10 easy steps to ending racism in America.

1. Make it illegal for any government agency for any reason to ask your race. That includes scholarships, census forms, job applications, everything.

2. Understand that though the government shouldn't be allowed to ask the question, private businesses should be able to do whatever the hell they want. This means that if a business owner wants to hire only white people at his restaurant then that is his prerogative. It should not be illegal. You don't like it? Let people know. The free market will take care of it.
