When Orchids are Outlawed...

Oh, wait, I guess if you don't jump through all kinds of federal hoops, they have been. [More]

Hey, at least they weren't "assault orchids."

I wish I could actually be surprised that the "Only Ones" sent out a SWAT team.

It is called TYRANNY. Oppressive power exerted by government.

And that is why Popcorn says 'Fxxx you.'

Just another day in the land of the free, home of the brave. It's for your safety. And the safety of the officers

Dave: "I wish I could actually be surprised that the "Only Ones" sent out a SWAT team."

I'm reminded of a quote from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's _The Gulag Archipelago_:
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say goodbye to his family?"

Maybe they are running scared. Why else a combat infantry team to take down an elderly, ill florist?

I have posted this sentiment other places over this issue. Here's what I believe will happen eventually, armed neighborhood watch groups with a sworn duty to shoot and kill all intruders, especially those dressed in ninja suits.

It shouldn't happen, but the other side will not allow anything else.

"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. When there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws." - Ayn Rand
