Police State

With all the recent protests of Wall Street and big business, too many people are silent on the much more harmful alternative of 'big government'. This problem recently hit home when my daughter was arrested and tried for the potential of committing a crime (DUI when she wasn't even driving!) She is now paying back $1000s in court related costs and has had her license taken away.... making it even harder to pay it back! Family, friends, and coworkers are also being punished by changing our lives to assist in various, and whatever ways we can.

Yes, I too have known people maimed or killed by drunk drivers, and I realize the need to enforce laws against the problem, but I'm insisting that the present harsh laws are not well thought out and only are creating additional problems. If we're going to get up in arms over the wall street problem, we should also focus our attention on government agencies who are 'above the law'... and getting by with it!
