I know this is preaching to the chior but I thought this might be of interest. So I am sure we have all heard about the two cold blooded killers that just escaped from the escapable prison. Great, those two in a place trying to get rid of all the guns with these guys on the loose. With all the planning anybody taking the bet they forgot to have their helpers on the outside not furnish them with a firearm. Wolves among sheep is all that comes to mind.

Next up was this little nugget

NY man robbed at gunpoint for $1100 in Bitcoin

A New York man was robbed at gunpoint for $1,100 worth of Bitcoin (http://www.scmagazine.com/search/bitcoin/) last month. The 28-year-old victim was meeting a man who offered to buy the digital currency through a Craigslist ad, according to CNBC (http://www.cnbc.com/id/102737187). The buyer led the victim to his car, where another man was waiting in the backseat with a gun. The gunman ordered the victim to complete the electronic transfer. Once the transfer was made, the thieves stole the victim's cell phone and drove off, according to police. The case is still under investigation. Another New York man was robbed in a similar manner for $8,500 worth of Bitcoin, $3,500 cash and his phone in January, according to the Observer (http://observer.com/2015/02/bitcoin-crime-wave-breaks-out-in-nyc/). New York State has recently passed legislation (http://www.scmagazine.com/nydfs-head-announces-new-virtual-currency-regulations/article/418807/) to regulate financial firms that deal with Bitcoin and other virtual currencies.

So who's up for moving to the land of the free...... Unless you count guns, coke, salt,etc.......that place should be renamed Crazyland.

It doesn't exist. It's a relative thing, of course. NY is one of the worst in this nation. And getting worse. Other places are better but not perfect.

Getting close but not truly free. Don't pay your taxes for a while and they will eventually come for you.
