I drive a gasoline truck and I got pulled over by a cop. He said, "Do you have any idea why I pulled you over?" I said no. He said, "We have a 'move over' law that just passed. If you see someone coming up on the shoulder you have to move over a lane. And, in fact, this week, we passed 300 new traffic laws."
I said, well, have you got the book? I don't want to be violating any of these new laws. He looked at me really funny. I mean, if they pass 300 new laws, I need the book! He just looked at me funny.
You know, police have changed drastically since I was a kid. I'm getting close to 50 years old. When I was a kid, a cop was the person that you could trust. He was wearing a cap, he had a smile on his face, his hair was combed, his shoes were polished. Now you look at a cop and he looks like something out of a video game. His pants are tucked into his boot, his head's shaved, he's got sunglasses on, he's got a triple-stacked block, he's got five extra clips, two pairs of handcuffs, a can of mace, a taser, and an attitude of "I said it, so you do it!"
Anyway, we have to know what incrementalism is. We're training kids, in video games, to shoot, to kill, and it's all a game. The cops have this attitude that "we gotta keep you safe, so you gotta do what we say." To me, it's very clean and clear to see, that incrementalism is going to destroy this nation.
