Yes I do. When a government tells you what to do. I feel that that is what ours is doing more & more. I do not mean to sound harsh either. I thought I was in line with what was being talked about. Its just my opinion. Am I in trouble?

No you are not in trouble...at ALL, but to say this country is going communist is still way over the top and not close to what is going on.
That is not my opinion it is fact. We are not moving towards communism....period.

The first step towards communism is the first step away from freedom & us making decisions. I know its forever away, & possibly never but it just feels like were there sometimes. Why do we pay huge tarriffs to have are stuff in other countries & allow other countries to have none to get there stuff in here. Theres alot of problems. Dumb lawsuits, unscrupulous insurance companies & lawers, Judges with no spine. This country was once the best place to live with tons of jobs. We were the manufacturing giant. Now we are very far from that. We have people challenging the constitution every day. I dont understand how that can happen. Our for fathers made it the way it should always be, never to be changed. Thats my belief. I hope not to offend anyone, or start a contriversy. I just made a comment about the post. A little sarcastic, or futuristic, maybe. I like so many wish things would go back a little bit like it used to be. Good jobs around every corner, neighbors that knew one another etc.

I was talking about the constitution, not are economy. I know that will always change like the tides. I'm old fashioned as you can tell. I should have been born in 1850. LOL

If you were on 127 you went through Vergennes not Ava, close though. Ava's on route 4.
