They typically are the same people who don't know how to, or purposely misuse, the english language to advance their cause...which is to strip you of your personal liberty, and condition you to accept it. As a Z owner from VIRGINIA, the state in which these people have made radar detectors illegal, in effect criminalizing YOU for monitoring when the government is monitoring YOU....I'd think you'd be a little more fired up about the concept, or at the least a little more sympathetic. However the wide-spread reach of ignorance and apathy is not something to be under-estimated is it?
 "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of "liberalism", they will adopt every principle of our socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without ever knowing how it happened.... I no longer need to run on the Socialist Party ticket because the Democrat Party has now adopted our platform." --Norman Thomas, 1944 Socialist Party Presidential Candidate "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." --Winston Churchill
