3rd Amendment

My thoughts on the 3rd Amendment to the Constitution given us by our Founding Fathers: Most do not even know what this one is.
"No soldier in time of peace be quartered in any house,w/o the concent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner perscribed by law."
The reason this Amendment was added is that the American colonists were required under threat of force & even death to quarter, feed many of the British soldiers.
Now folks it is no stretch of any sane persons reasoning to know that under those circumstances the ladies of the house were not treated well all the time. The men of the house either had to stay home to protect them or go on to work in the field or @ their trade. Many of those redcoats entertained themselves while quartered there.
Our Founding Fathers knew the women needed protection.

Fast forward to 2013:
No one who knows me very well or has attended my CHL class has any difficulty understanding my contemp, utter disdain, & scorn for TSA.
I have been told by one woman "Dont like it but that is part of it so you endure it & go on."
I have often wondered if it was the same w/ our "Founding Mothers."
There is nothing new under the sun. The evil of today is the same evil of yesterday.
It is called Tyranical Government Oppression.
