Pratt,
Very, very disturbing. [Commentary is below.] And a great answer to the foolish who mean well when they advocate additional laws that regulate behavior of law-abiders, e.g., smoking, talking on cell phones while driving or while in school zones, releasing balloons, etc. This stuff quickly adds up and takes time away from what law enforcement should really be doing – finding the property stealers and violent and either killing them or helping to put them behind bars.

Pratt's commentary:
Look into the sewer to see your future
by Pratt on Texas on Mon, 10/12/2009.
A
column by Leo McKinstry in the in the Daily Express begins with this
paragraph: “Britain continues its descent into a socialist hell, devoid of any
justice or morality. We now live in a sub-Marxist world where the ultra-politicised
institutions of the State wield arbitrary power, bullying the decent members of
the public while dangerous criminals walk free.”
The mother-country has long been several steps ahead of we in the states in the
march toward Statism disguised as democracy. And the reason we should pay
attention is that it is the same political philosophies, schemes and
desired outcomes openly touted by the Democratic Party stateside, that has lead
the U.K. into the socialist sewer.
Some of the stench is smelled in the Labour government passing bills to create
thirty-six hundred new offenses “since 1997 at a rate of 320 a year, including
such major crimes as holding an unlicensed concert in a church hall.” Followed
with the result of violent crime more than doubling in the last ten years while
fewer than half of “all violent offenders are ever put through the courts.”
The power of government, through law and regulation, has been turned upon the
generally law-abiding population to force change in their thinking and behavior
related to multiculturalism, environmentalism and other left-wing causes. At the
same time, in keeping with Liberal orthodoxy, criminal behavior is being excused
and ignored, to the point where once safe England is now top-ranked for violent
crime.
If large numbers of Texans actually looked at the results of Liberal-Democrat
policies in other places, it would be the end of electing Liberals in any
significant numbers.
