Remember the Humphrey Bogart movie High Sierra? At the end of the movie Bogart's character is confronted by several bandits. When they lay claim to his possessions saying they are lawmen he asks them where are their badges. Hence the title of this blog.Kind of sounds like the attitude of a lot of people today doesn't it ? A lot of people have a deep seated distrust of the government and this seems to be spreading to local law enforcement. We don't need stinking badges is a mentality that is rampant in 2013. Look at the amount of crazy gun violence we face today. Everyone acts like it's 1870's Dodge City. Our legislators have capitulated to the gun lobby so no cavalry is on the way. So it's time to bring back the duel. Everyone needs to start packing and be ready for the challenge at the drop of an insult. Someone cuts you off in traffic blow your horn, pull off to the side of the road, and prove your manhood. Bump carts in the grocery store dive into your purses and have at it. Just think of all the litigation that will be avoided. There is one draw back you Wild West loving geezers. The kids today are lightning fast from years of playing video games. You won't stand a chance. Yes your disdain for the Pat Garrett sheriff types will allow Billy and the other kids to put you in Boot Hill cutting off any need to raise the Social Security or Medicare eligibility age.
