You can push for quite a while sometimes, but you’ll know when you’ve pushed too far. I thought TSA was too far, but it has shocked me that it wasn’t.
Most people don’t have direct, sustained contact with the TSA, so they tend to ignore it, or at least downplay its transgressions.
Now Obamacare might do it….
This second election dispelled some of the myth. Obamacare will not do it because people weren’t fooled. They really want this.
The real problem now is adults that still think we are playing by the same rules.
