I’m definitely sensing a shift, as if the rule of law is slowly being restored.
“Let your life be a counter friction to stop the machine.” Henry David Thoreau.

I would like to propose a year at the registrants choosing as the non participation in “compliance check” year. I say F… Read more »
Wait! I like horses! 🙂
