I was hanging with some friends last night

When one of them told me he had been stopped on his bike by a Belleville, IL police officer. It appears from what the officer told my buddy that they are going to be seriously cracking down on motorcyclists in Belleville this riding season. Pretty much without reason just suspicion. I guess bikers must be among the biggest problems that Belleville has, and if that is the case then I'm cool with this. But if there are any child predators lurking, any known drug houses that get ignored, any murderers or thieves then this is just another way that folks are harassing motorcyclists.

I believe that is because a bike is one of those symbols of freedom and there are many out there right now that are afraid of freedom, of people speaking their minds, of people gathering together, of media telling the truth and not skewing the story for the sake of the government. I used to hear people talk like this and I thought they were whacked but now the longer I am around I see that the things some folks had forecasted are going to life and that is truly scary.

I think there is still time but we need to make the people in government who speak for us truly accountable and we need to do it now before even more of our freedoms are eroded.
