[Kirk Freeman]

Behold the many victories of Socialism! Venezuela proposes fingerprinting grocery shoppers to combat smugglers, wreckers, kulaks, and other enemies of the state.

There's no problem government can create that more government solutions can't fix.

It sounds to me like Venezuela is experiencing a shortage of five-stranded hemp rope.

Hugo died. They had their chance, but they blew it. May their sufferings provide an example to the world. There was a girl down there whose blog I used to follow. I died a little inside, that I couldn't bring her out, and I would have, but she thought it more important to document history, and that it wouldn't last. I finally had to stop reading. Such a waste. I wonder what became of her.

One cannot have a Police State without a Welfare State.

If there is a Unified Field Theory of politics, it is that the Welfare State bring immeasurable ills.

Immeasurable ills save for the politician.

So now the "criminal" element will just slip a bit of extra cash to the guy at the counter to give him more than they ring up at the register thereby bypassing the system.

So one could go to jail for Straw-purchasing groceries?

Don't laugh...if the Boss Hogg (Boss Hugo?) county Sheriffs in Armpit County, Indiana get their way, it can happen here, albeit on a smaller level.

Americans already have given up the same rights. Just call it an "administrative search" or a "instant background check" and pretend that Old Glory is flying in the background.

Just an aside, this morning I was flying out of Indy and they were having their leave shoes on, leave belt on, leave laptop and everything in your pack, leave your jacket on, etc....pilot that's been going on for what seems like 2 years now.

Anyway, the line in front of me was pretty long and when the TSA made the announcement that thy wouldn't be violated, people actually cheered. Many of those same people then proceed to take off their belts and shoes and had to be reminded to leave them on. Amazing to me how easily people are conditioned.
