One of the things I find amazing is how people can live in the same place and still live worlds apart.
I live in the US, Northern California. I get up in the morning, do what I want to do, go where I want to go, and no one tells me no. Law enforcement doesn't bother me, the government doesn't hassle me, nothing. The only contact I have with our government is when get on an airplane they search me, and when I pay my taxes. Otherwise I am free to fap fap fap all day long.
Then we have Robbie - whom I really do like. I think he lives in Vegas. He seems to think that the government is out to get him and attempts to violate his rights every chance they get.
Even better yet is my gun nut friend here in town. We live in the same exact town, 40k people, low crime rate, and he's "concerned about protecting his family" and has a dozen firearms in his house. Every Saturday morning he's down at the local range shooting his "babies". Yet here I am, four blocks away, and I have no fear.
It's all about perspective I guess.
