trooper scores a hit.
In a gentler time warnings were issued. Today, the income generated by taxes, fees, and strict law enforcement must match the terrifying growth of government needs. The trooper must earn his pay; the victim is the unwary as well as the true criminal. Government, not farming, is the growth industry. Helicopters are for spying, not spraying.
The channel for redress, since the days of Ben Franklin, Tom Paine and Peter Zenger, has been the press. It is the only pressure politicians understand. Don’t fail us.
