Prosecutors,
police, and crime lab technicians think of justice as winning at all costs.
Bear in mind that none of these warriors in the war on crime are promoted
on acquittals. Convictions bring praise and promotions. The
more felony convictions an agency can chalk up, the larger will be its
budget to wage war on crime. Prosecutors do not see their careers
flourish with "Not Guilty" rulings. To lose a case brings shame upon
a pride driven "justice" warrior. Nothing could be further from the
truth when a jury is told "This officer has no reason to lie." A
distinct fog sprawls through the halls and battlefields of our war on crime.
In
a typical police action, once an arrest is made and a conclusion is drawn,
a perverse Rubicon is crossed. The investigation is driven to prove
the conclusion, not to establish innocence. All to often, the case
needs to be "tweaked" to conform to the conclusion. After all, "all
is fair in love and war." People have to realize that every war has
its collateral damage, even the war on crime.
The
collateral damage of this war is too great to ignore. Not only are
people losing their precious freedom while billions of dollars are squandered,
but society's soul is being compromised! This insanity has to stop.
Justice should be treasured, not bastardized!
Stray Thoughts
Sam Aurelius Milam III
• If
the War on Crime is actually a war, then all prisoners within the context
of that war, both military and civilian, should be treated according to
the Geneva Conventions. If it isn't actually a war, then we should
stop calling it a war.
• So
far as I'm aware, the gun industry is the only industry that can be criticized
or maybe even punished for making a product that's reliable, affordable,
and easy to use.
• Freedom
cannot possibly survive if people are prohibited from doing things that
are wrong.
• Organized
religion has been the most bloody and brutal influence in the known history
of human society.
Weather or Not
Sam Aurelius Milam III
When
I was young, some of the old timers used to glare up at the vapor trails
in the sky and mutter, "If'n they don't keep them danged jet arrow planes
out'n tha sky, they's agonna ruin tha blamed weather!"
I
didn't know then, and I don't know now, if those old timers were correct.
Maybe it was just the usual skepticism of anything that's new or different.
Nevertheless, I have noticed that, when the conditions are right, those
vapor trails can propagate into a wide cloud cover. I don't know
for sure but creating a cloud cover where there wasn't one before might
be significant in terms of the weather.
If
you get into the habit of looking up at the sky, then you might sometimes
see a criss-crossed checkerboard pattern of vapor trails. You might
sometimes notice that all of the visible clouds are long and linear, or
can be seen to have developed from long, linear clouds, that is, from vapor
trails.
