DC, thanks for the link to the good interview. it was a pleasure to read. it's nice to know that someone w/ authority, leo or non-leo, has got his head on straight!
Jeff, we've covered this drug ground before. i agree that all it's accomplished has been the erosion of our rights, and given the government way too much power.
i grew up in a small town, everybody knew everybody else, and the police, while not quite like Andy in Mayberry, did their job w/ pride and good sense. when i was a teenager, i would ride w/ them every now and then late at night and we enjoyed each others company.
imagine, a cop and a longhaired hippy freak riding together, and the LHHF not in cuffs.
the town i live in now is small, area pop. around 15,000. we have our crack gangs and all just like big city folks. sadly all the leos w/ good sense have retired and been replaced w/ the new breed of arrogant leos comming out of the academy, like Raymond said else where in this thread. i think they watch COPS too much on tv.
DLD, i have no doubt that one of the good ones, as i believe the other ones would'nt bother to associate w/ such animals as us!
