YukonJohn! It was great meeting you. I really enjoyed talking to you. Wish we coud've talked longer. Hopefully next time you come down, another get together can be arranged. I want to hear more about Alaska!

Be sure and keep us posted on when you're coming back. I'm such a retard. LOL! Not only am I half deaf, I'm just dumb. I know you told me when you were coming back, because I asked, but I have totally forgotten!

Have a good weekend and a safe trip back! :-)

Exactly, you got the media's account, which is not always accurate. They got a quote from a neighbor who shared his view of "what happened" even though he wasn't there. EMS had to retreat b/c the drunk guy brought the gun out when they were there. The police weren't coming there to see if the guy wanted to grab a beer, they were there assisting EMS b/c of the drunk idiots. At that point if they encountered the guy with the gun and he failed to follow commands they would be fine shooting him, it doesn't matter who fired first. Why would you have a gun when EMS/Police are at your residence to help? And especially why when your BAC is over .30?

Don't worry, I never believed for an instant that you did drink and drive. My only point was this - the checking of a small portion of drivers on public roadways isn't a large impedement to folks' travel. It's not all the time, nor is it often. The odds of you encountering a road checkpoint are very small. As long as both you as a driver and the police officer are on the up-and-up, you're going to be fine. It would be different if police officers were coming to your home and wanting you to complete a breathalizer test. The dividing line is the public roadway. I want cops checking at random, as to deter driving while intoxicated.

yukon, no problem. i have some strong beliefs, and i feel that our government has overstepped their boundaries, and continues to do so on an increasing scale. my nature is to speak out about this. if it ever came down to it, i would be one of the first ones there.

about the protestors, i hear ya. i supported our operations in afghanistan all the way, but never supported the decision to go to iraq. however, i have always supported the troops. they are doing their job, and they are doing a mighty fine job of it. my saying has always been "you can support our troops without necessarily supporting the decision makers that put them there".

i wish i could have met you at the event a few weeks back, my life has just been upside down lately. anyway, i hope you have a very merry christmas, and watchout for the flying reindeer!

John, you mention some very pertinent things in the roadblock blog. I have the right to remain silent, but sometimes just can't. Some people on here try to pass themselves off as being in law enforcement. I believe due to their comments, one can assume they can't really be cops. That, they must be security guards who are cops in their minds. Then again, after several encounters with such, I can assure they exist. I too am dismayed at our freedoms wafting away as we are content to think we are protected and safe. It is called a doppleganger. I think you understand. I apologize for breaking one of my rules on your blog. Never argue with a stick. Stay warm and free.

...I can't seem to get away from this 4th amendment intrusions...the 30s and early 40s in Germany are still in my mind. The same history is doomed to repeat itself if we allow the partiot act to stand as is open to a myriad of interpretations. But being that I believe that peace is not the goal but the way, I try to fight with letters to congress and editorials. But if push comes to shove, I am armed, trained, and experienced to the teeth. Our forfathers got it right in a common sense way. Legal interpretations have been construed to create a crack in the constitution, which concerns me.
