This isn't the first time this has happened to me, either. I think
the next time it happens I will politely ask the officer for a list of
things that I may and may not photograph. If he can't provide such a
list I shall politely ask him to go **** up a rope


With the fascists ruling your country, I wouldn't be too smart with anyone
in uniform, if I were you.
You might end up getting your asshole checked for explosives and then be
sent to Gitmo for a re-check, over and over again for years to come.
Remember - it ain't just black and brown assholes getting treatment, being
white won't save you either.


It's so easy to paint a picture of misery on the other side of the
hill.....If you came here, Joseph, I think you'd find that our grass is just
as green as yours.

Anyway, I'm minding my own business when I notice there's some rookie
cop standing there beside me asking me what I was shooting. "Birds,"
I told him without even looking up from my 20D and the Forgotten 400 f/
5.6L.

"Show me," he demands.


... and if you had been using a film camera?


The cop would have left him alone....He only hassles the "chimpers".........

Well, yes...but what are all those blotches of red everywhere?

I note with some dismay that the US Constitution has now been referred
to as just a historical document, nothing more. What have you done to
stop the slide into totalitarianism? Oh..wait a minute..I seem to recall
you have NO qualms about what is going on as long as your stomach is full.

I'm bored this afternoon so I go over to the dam to try to get some
pics of the herons flying (they were very uncooperative). I'm also
shooting a few ducks, some cardinals, and the lone falcon that lives
there. The light is terrible, it's about to rain, but hey ... I love
a challenge.
Anyway, I'm minding my own business when I notice there's some rookie
cop standing there beside me asking me what I was shooting. "Birds,"
I told him without even looking up from my 20D and the Forgotten 400 f/
5.6L.

"Show me," he demands. So he makes me scroll through the entire CF
card showing him the photos to make sure I'm not shooting a picture of
little kids or the bridge ... you know, like terrorists always do. So
I'm narrating the pics as I scroll, "Great Blue Heron, duck, falcon,
duck, Presidential Motorcade, me flipping off the Pres, another duck,
me and the old lady doing it ..... "
You know, the usual stuff.

Just kidding about the Presidential pics. Thankfully, I deleted them
from the card before today's shoot. Otherwise, I might be typing this
from Guantanimo.

I was very polite with the flatfoot (since I don't really like jail),
but the more I thought about it after he left the madder I got. At
what point does having a nice camera make one a terrorist suspect?
When did that happen? (I know it must've been in the last 6 years.) I
know Bush (and his gang of crooks) wipes his ass with the
Constitution, but I must've missed it when photography became a crime.

I'm just glad my pal, Kamran, wasnt with me. He's from Pakistan and
he's got a quick tongue. Can you say, "Taser?"

This isn't the first time this has happened to me, either. I think
the next time it happens I will politely ask the officer for a list of
things that I may and may not photograph. If he can't provide such a
list I shall politely ask him to go **** up a rope.

Anyway, here's a crappy pic from today's crappy shoot.

Bad news about your cops there. Not so bad as thar here in NZ - but
we're a nonenity on the world scene anyway.

You're too modest about that 'crappy' shot. It's a bloody good shot,
very detailed, soft lighting, no hard shadows or blown highs,
composition nearly perfect. I could put that on my wall.

I am a conservative....I have been writing letters and bitching at
congressmen all of my life, but I like living near the ocean, and all these
states are "blue", which means they are the land of the socialists, and
Robin-Hooders, who want the government to own and control everything, and
pay all the costs with my tax money, and I am effectively disenfranchized.
Now, at 71, I am too old to do much more.....Tell me, m II, what are YOU
doing about, "what is going on"?

Oh I don't know, William... John McCain will be older than you are now
if/when he's elected president!
Heck...My 70 year old dad still goes early with me to batting practice
before Padres games here in S.D., and he's STILL know to practically dive
for balls...and I'm not kidding. Our latest catch came only last
season, and was added to a collective of about 50 or so balls we've caught
over the years. It's one of those father-son things that neither of us
ever outgrew.

There's hope for you yet, you old geezer!

West coast, I vote liberal.
Hell I had a visit from two gentlemen in black suits from the secret
service for posting some bob dylan lyrics to a (very private) nntp group
on the internet but that hasn't scared me.

Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain

You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud

You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

Yes. Dylan was always good at complaining about the actions of the people
who are charged with protecting this country from the enemies who would see
us dead....But what would he have us do when ass holes like Jong Kim Ill
start throwing the atom bombs around? As far as I'm concerned, he is a
parasite like B. Streisand. This country has given those two millions and
they just wish us death at the hands of people who are, even now, teaching
their children that the only way into Heaven is by killing innocents. I
wonder how his poetry would have protected him had he been in one of those
WTC towers on 9/11? Doesn't he understand that there are REAL people out
there who want us DEAD? Why doesn't he sing about that?
