    there's your answer. we need to reject the spiritually false dichotomy of "be corrupt or starve". remove your talents from the system. evil fails when good men do nothing. starve the beast. walk away from omelas.

    Ok so you are unwilling to take any action.
    And complaining accomplishes what exactly ?

    Either you disagree with the laws in which case you should want them dropped or you find the punishments too severe which requires changes to the laws or maybe you just dont want laws or inforcement which just gets you south central LA or Chicago.

    I think that's what he's saying, we should have changes in our laws. He's not arguing we should no laws. You can argue our current laws, especially drug laws, are too harsh and we have too many people in prison without saying we should have no laws or enforcement of laws.

    And pay more for less ? What does this accomplish apart from raising the cost of incarceration ?

    Where did I ever say I wasn't taking an action? Sometimes simply speaking out can be a form of action. You are confusing speaking out with complaining.

    Is there ever a time when you don't play the political card?

    One of the easiest things to do when you don't win is accuse someone of bias! It's a human weakness. It's trying to take the easy way out, or make excuses for yourself, when it is really not accepting responsibility for your own behaviors.

    That is why when you are a president or leader of any kind, you never want to look weak and accuse everything that didn't turn out for you on bias or politics.

    The trick to success is to just don't do things that are wrong in the first place. If you keep your nose clean, then you don't have to worry about what the FBI or Congress does. Stay out of trouble- Don't cheat- Don't Lie!- Don't coverup!

    That is my advice to someone like Donald Trump and all of his suckups!

    Is there bias in the world? You can bet your ass there is! Because most people are biased against cheaters, liars, and corrupt people- especially when they are the ones that are put there to protect us from that kind of thing and they are the ones doing it!

    SO cry me a river dude!
