shootall, i didnt mean to degrade ya in any way. it seems you and i agree a little more than i had thought, but instead of the benefit of a doubt going to the po po, i give it to the citizen.
as far as the 800 lb gorilla in or corner, that just aint the way it IS anymore. that is the way it was meant to be, but not the case anymore. only if you can afford it. the rest of us are screwed. there are two justice systems here, one for the haves, and another for the have nots. just look around for the proof.
the media used to be another form of protection for us, but that has been twisted and turned so that all it is anymore is a big propaganda machine, where you can hardly believe anything anymore. the only fair (not always right, but fair) reporter i know of is bill o'rielly. all the others sold their souls. so basically, we a screwed there, too.
