The current state of affairs in this country has me wondering who is going to step up. More importantly when. This election next year may either be a turning point in the downward spiral we have been experiencing since Bush took office(Notice that most people refer to our president as Bush and not President Bush and it's never with a smile). Anyway, there are several things that have caught my eye and we must address them all. First, our justice system is no where near the best and with hesitation not the worst either. The problem is we are way too inconsistent with our punishments and how we treat people who don't have money. I don't need to explain our hollywood stars who get busted with drugs and DUI's after DUI. Our white collar criminals who barely make the news robb people of millions and most of the time get away without a scratch. The people never get their money back or pensions lost from their CEO's fraud. The cops who use excessive force on people and never are dealt serious punishment. It's a shame the BS they feed us from the time we are little kids about how great America is. The truth is we are probably the most shady, two faced, back stabbing, nation in the world. Our deviant thirst for money and our careless obsession with power keeps us from battling issues that we have ignored for many decades. Instead of prosecuting the pawns in drugs, prostitution, gangs, and dogfighting lets make an attempt at the Kings and Queens. Cut the heads off and the body can no longer function. Arresting people for weed possession is ridiculous. Why? Because it will never end. The shit is grown in peoples backyard or in their homes. F******* daycare centers have weed operations now. Wow! did you hear about that? Right in good old L.A. The point is the government along with the state obviously are benefiting from collecting these low level criminals by seizing their money and keeping a portion of it. When is the last time you heard of a drug lord being killed or arrested? Exactly on the history channel. A story about 20yrs old. We are to corrupt to have a fair and equal justice system. When DA's can threaten young high school students with the stroke of his pen or when cable news stations allow misinformed a-holes who think they can solve problems of another race when they have never been a person of color let alone have experienced anything like that of a poor kid in the hood infested with drugs and violence. We have to stop the bleeding b/c we are bleeding to death
