Militias' and the Goverment

I was driving down the road the other day listening to the radio(NPR) when they were talking about the big arrest of the militia up north. Now I don't think that any group can claim to a Christian militia or Christian group for that matter and advocate killing and terrorist activities. But thats another story. The thing I'm getting at is that this report/story was about this group and what they had planned. There was a gentleman from some big security group talking about what this was, and these groups are all about. He was telling that this group and others like were out to change the government by any means because they feared that the government was interfering too much in their privet lives and placing too many rules and regulations on the people and they were tired of it (well duh).

So anyway the report continued until the alloted amount of time was up for this story. And I have to say that I did find the story interesting and I'm in no way contradicting of questioning the report. And I am in no way saying any thing bad or derogatory about NPR. I enjoy their programs and will continue to listen often. What I am doing is talking about the irony of what happened right after this story ended. The very next story aired by NPR was a story about "How the government wants to tell you how much salt you can have". And they wander why people get so upset with the way things are done.

It was a story where one local government wanted to limit the amount of sodium you can have every day. Like the way they did the transfat issue. They want to regulate the amount of sodium that company's put in their products, how much your favorite restaurant can put in the food being prepared, and I think how much you can use yourself by not wanting or allowing the restaurant to put salt out on the tables. Heck I will just start carrying my own salt shaker with me. That'll show em!!! Now I do understand that it's to help keep everyone healthy and all that. Again thats another story and I'm not getting into that now. This is just something that really struck me funny at the time.

Now I know the two stories had nothing to do with each other, but still it struck me quite funny at the way the two were put on the air. I doubt that it was done with any intentions, but then again?, it was enough to make me laugh out loud going down the highway. Maybe' we need a rule that things like this don't happen any more because it could be a distraction to some one who starts to laugh and drive at the same time!

So anyway just something I thought of at the time. The working of an idle mind, or a warped one, what ever the case may be
