Cedar Rapids is a university town and those communities tend to be very liberal - I bet a lot of retired professors and administrators have ended up in city government. It sounds like the council have been reading the literature of Action 21, a George Soros funded group, which is distributed to local governments. Action 21 promotes elimination of property rights in the name of "safety" and a "greener world." The Leftist mantra is "Think global and act local" which fits this Cedar Rapids scenario very well. <br /><br />I cannot believe that they are so willing (stupid) to take the liability that comes with having keys. But that is another sign of fascist attitude - we are the government, we are immune and we know best. <br /><br />This is where this type of thinking will eventually lead us: "And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark of the beast, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."

I want cameras inside toilet bowls to document when people have bowel movements, in showers to see how well people clean themselves and if they do anything erotic, over the breakfast table, everywhere.<br /><br />Getting the keys to properties for inspections, 5-finger discounts and so forth is a mere start on what needs to be done to protect us from ourselves. We need constant, 24 surveillance in ever aspect of our lives to the tiniest, most intimate detail. How else are we to be completely controlled so we can be safe?<br /><br />I know what's best for you.

Yes, I know, bringing up Hitler and Nazis in a discussion is trite and often inappropriate, but I've tried to think of a current world regime that is analogous to this and Nazi Germany is the only one that fits.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15633208787250567256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-66003341132095959192011-06-15T07:18:31.948-05:002011-06-15T07:18:31.948-05:00I can not fathom why any intelligent person would ...I can not fathom why any intelligent person would even think these idiots should be in charge of your health care.blogginatornoreply@blogger.com
