Martial Law coming to a community near you
Unfortunately our society has devolved into a mass of illiterate, ignorant, spoiled, lazy sheeple. I picture our once great nation as Rocky at the beginning of Rocky III, right before he gets clobbered by Clubber Lang. Micky, his trainer, is sort of like RP (a stretch I know). Sadly, pessimistically, more liberty is most likely not what America will choose. I predict the USA will settle for the security of brute government force to "protect" it from the drug dealers, criminals, illegals, "terrorists," etc. ..... What a shame...

[AP story] HELENA-WEST HELENA, Ark. - Officers armed with military rifles have been stopping and questioning passers-by in a neighborhood plagued by violence that's been under a 24-hour curfew for a week.
On Tuesday, the Helena-West Helena City Council voted 9-0 to allow police to expand that program into any area of the city, despite a warning from a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas that the police stops were unconstitutional.
Police Chief Fred Fielder said the patrols have netted 32 arrests since they began last week in a 10-block neighborhood in this small town on the banks of the Mississippi River long troubled by poverty. The council said those living in the city want the random shootings and drug-fueled violence to stop, no matter what the cost.

OK, you started this
"Unfortunately our society has devolved into a mass of illiterate"
It is "martial" not Marshal.
Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.

oops! There it sits, I did go to public school you know! But maybe I was referring to "Marshal Law" the English superhero! ... nope, just a good old typo.
