Some things do need to be written down and stored away. And it could be years later that you need to access it. 

Ya mean, like after the statute of limitations has expired ?  🙄

We went to the newly redone Truman Library earlier this month. It's a great library/museum, and way better than it was before. Anyhoo, I thought this was really cool:

Interesting series of folds on that letter. 🤔

Oh yes, the old center triple fold to hide those 3 lines.  Almost like the yak tournament guy that cut off the first inch or two of his golden rule.

Check out the Freedom of Information Act. That's significant for accessing documents that have been deemed sensitive in some fashion. Requests can be made to get them released through a review process to be sure there's nothing in them that might compromise something like national security. 

That's what I would have had to have done to access the docs I encountered.

Pfft !   There's no information freedom in this country.   Or any other country for that matter.   

Why do we even listen to the news?   It's like listening to a worthless crackhead kid explaining to his parents why he can't seem to keep a job and stay out of jail.       

Just keep right on funding these worthless lying people, and playing their bogus "voting" game.   

All I know is that NONE of my kids, or grandkids, or great-grandkids, will be taking oaths, and having stripes put on their arms, until things change drastically.   This way of life ain't worth a single life of one of MY family.

Its getting so bad that the black cops are beating up on black kids....

There SHOULD BE a "Task Force" on all this cat-converter theft that's going on.

But...... there's no money in THAT for them.   It's always about the war on drugs because the underground nasties get real fat on turning those drugs back out.   

This is the world we live in today.

Then, if this is ultimately about your kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids, then all respect and honor to you. You're simply going to be better at it, though, if you are informed as much as is reasonably possible. That means using what resources you can, even if they are imperfect like the news. 

One thing is certain: ignorance won't change things. Neither will staying out of things. One of your loved ones wearing the stripes and taking the oath might be the one who influences the others around them and makes things better. They may not be changing Washington, DC, but they may at least be influencing a police department, a squad, an army platoon, or some other unit. It's very doable at the lower levels.  

If they do as you say, that's not going to help solve the problem. We can easily say "Screw the police!", but there's still going to be police, and your loved ones are still going to be stuck with them.

It would be better for them if you taught them to try to influence things in the right direction, being what's called the "salt of earth." You'd be teaching them to be the same thing, and it would make you worth your weight in gold.

My wife told me I better behave myself with Cops anymore they will just kill me.

Ah my wife works with several and I'm with her lots of times. Most time it is training. 

Sometimes when I was younger I would be drinking and felt I was Bulletproof.
