You had probably not fully awoken for the day and faced the reality of the being
a "citizen" in a "democratic" society......
I have photos of my dad, riding his WW2 Indian around the South Island in
1946 with a .22 on a sling over his shoulder. He and his mate would stop
at a farm every night, ask permission to shoot rabbits etc for dinner. He said
they always got permission usually with the caution not to shoot towards the
house. Often they would be invited in for dinner.
Not once did anyone ever phone the police or react badly to 2 armed men
on motorcycles riding up to a house.
Amazing how much common sense and civility people used to have.
I often say to my son, we have the least worst political system, not the
best. Looking at the current circus and the ones that have gone before
it in NA, the alternatives don't seem real attractive.
Regards
Doug
