Daily Kos keeps telling me I should write diaries. I don't know why. I am 53 years old, graduated from Brown University with a 3.86 GPA and I'm a middle of the road Independent that usually votes Democrat. I grew up in a small town in rural Connecticut and spent many summers at our vacation home in New Hampshire. Citizens in this country sure have changed since I was a kid and freedom TRULY rang throughout the land. When I was a kid police generally left people alone. They certainly did not gun people down in the street and abuse children like we see today. Just the thought of police stopping a car for a "Safety check" was antithetical to the people's beliefs. Today, many citizens embrace these Anti American intrusions. And I believe that may do so because they do not remember, or even know what it was like when police acted professionally, were decent, honest people, and were considered a citizens friend.
