We have a saying around here - "keep yer furry mitts off of my stuff, or draw back a bloody nubbin". So, Yeah, go ahead and try to reach into my shopping cart. Go ahead, I dare ya!
We have a similar, though not nearly identical, over-reach of authority going on here in Virginia. They've passed a "Red Flag" law that Gov. Northam just signed into being that is being billed as "giving the authorities the power to relieve citizens of their property". Nope, it does not give them that power at all. No law, or edict CAN give them that power, as it would have to be a super-power: the ability to outrun a speeding bullet. No law can give anyone that power at all. If you don't believe me, try to take my stuff, and find out. Mr. Northam. A thief is a thief, regardless of what he or she is wearing, and thieves will be treated as such around here.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
