Vampires?
Here is a story appropriate for tax day, April 15. A county in Missouri is planning a "No Refusal" checkpoint this weekend. Here is a story. A "No Refusal" checklane means that if you get stopped in the checklane and then refuse to take the goverment's breath test, they will hold you down and forcefully take your blood from you. So, there will be no refusals. more
